A fond Farewell card

Hello to all my new followers.  I'm thrilled that I've gathered so many over the past few weeks!  Thank you.

This card was one I made as a farewell card for a fabulous lady who worked in one of my teams at work.  She is a crafter herself so it's always daunting to be creating for someone who also creates.

The background is watercolour paper spritzed with my new collection of Starburst mica sprays, such a glorious shimmer to these colours.  Once this was dry, I then ran it through the bigshot with an embossing folder to give some texture. I cut this gorgeous Cheery Lynn flourish die and then popped some multicoloured roses on the die.

I wanted the card to be just a little different so layered the background on black then mustart and then cherry card and punched the scalloped border on the edge, as you can see in the next photo, the inside is layered with mustard and black to create the border where I added black rhinestones between the scallops.  I'm really happy with the design of this one.

I'm entering this into the following challenges.

Rose Faerie Marci

Hi everyone,  I started colouring my new La La Land Rose Faerie Marci earlier in the week then I had to go out of town for work and today I managed to get some time for finishing the image and making a card.  This little Marci arrived in a parcel from Mad for Markers along with some other new release stamps and a few more copic markers.  RV91, 93, 95, 99 and I love the soft tones.

Rose Faerie Marci has been coloured with copic markers and spica pens and I've used some of my beautiful Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and metal corners, and of course Lily of the Valley sentiment.  I've used a fabulous Cheery Lynn die but not taken all of the punched out pieces out, so it's not as lacy as it usually is, I wanted more of a solid base for Marci. 

Copics used

Skin:  E000, E091, E11, R20

Cothers: RV91, RV93, RV95, RV99, YR12, YR31, Lemon and Clear spica

As is usually the case, when I'm not making DT cards, I just create and hope I can find a challenge or two to enter the card.  I was lucky and found Three!

Can't resist those 50 Shades!

Hi all, I had to create another card for the 'In the Pink' challenge 50 Shades of....Pink!

I picked up some Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst sprays and have been playing around with some backgrounds.  I also received this gorgeous 'It's My Party' stamp in the mail this week in my very first order from Lily of the Valley.  This is the only image, I splurged on their fabulous sentiments!

 The embossed background is a mix of light and dark pink Starburst sprays and then I embossed it with a Spellbinders embossing folder and sponged a little of SU Rose Red ink that's the same deep pink of the card.  I thought I'd use a little bit of black to offset all that pink.

This little tantrum thrower has been coloured with Copic markers and I love the way her skirt turned out.  it's got loads of ruffles on the image so I just dotted several pinks around as there was no way I was going to be able to get the shading right!

Skin:  E000, 01, 11, R20

Hair: E11, 13, 15

Dress:  E04; R81, 83, 85, 89

Shoes: E04 R85

Hope you like my second entry for In the Pink!
