Hello Marigold

Hello crafters, good to have you here with me today. Thank you for all your wonderful comments on my last post, I do appreciate them so much. I have not done anymore backgrounds like that yet but its on my list to do as are many things lol!

Well today is our 9th Challenge for http://lilpatchofcraftyfriendsdt.blogspot.co.uk/p/challenge-blog.html we have some wonderful sponsors as usual, so please do come along and join in the fun.

This challenge sponsors are:

 Prize - $12 Gift certificate
 Prize - 7 Images
Prize - 1 image




My card is using a beautiful image from Ching-Chou Luik called Hello Magnolia.


As soon as I received my image I knew I wanted to give her Blonde hair and a Navy dress so I proceeded to colour her in with Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs, I was never good at colouring hair so for this I used some You Tube videos for Blonde hair and I must say I am pleased with the results.

I wanted to frame the image and I thought this frame from Couture Creations was perfect. I die cut it twice, once with White card and once with Black card, I placed the Black die cut under the White to act as a shadow and to add some depth to the frame then attached this over the image.

For my base card I used 7"X7" base White card, I cut some Dark Blue card to size then inked up my embossing folder with a Versamark Ink Pad and ran the card through the E-Bosser, I then brushed Mica pigment powder over the top, this gave a lovely sheen to the background. 

I attached my image and frame in the center of the card then attached some flowers in the bottom right corner, similar colour to those I had coloured in the image, I added some faux quilled leaves around them. In the opposite corner I added a Blue Butterfly, again to match the one in the image, also to balance the card out.

To finish the card I added three gems in the two opposite corners to the flowers and butterfly and on the inside I added some more of the Blue card and attached the cut out from the frame die cut  on top in order to have somewhere to place a sentiment or verse. There you have the finished card. Doesn't she look lovely? Do pop over to http://lilpatchofcraftyfriendsdt.blogspot.co.uk/p/c7-team-april-5th.html to view the other wonderful creations from the DT.
