To Brighten Your Day


This is my third post for today, and then I am off to bed. Working on cards while encouraging my granddaughter in her efforts was a little taxing....but I did want to get a couple done myself. Next visit, I will plan things a little differently.

For my layout, I have used the current sketch #77, from Card Patterns. This worked well for what I had in mind, as I was using a lot of colours and pattern.

The three flowers are made from clear recycled packaging. After cutting the flower shapes, I added different coloured Stickles and gem stones. Using glue dots, I attached these to small buttons, and using glue dots again, attached them to the card.

The Cynthia image, which I have used, can be found at the Stamping Boutique. I have coloured her using water colour pencils and Tombow markers. Detail has been added with glitter pen, and of course, for the wings I have used Stickles, as this fairy has to sparkle!

The colour theme of this card uses the new TSB colours for the challenge at the Latte Lounge. The DP is from Basic Grey.
