My Girl

Next I realised that I could enter my card to more than one challenge as long it was in keeping of the various rules - so my next card is entitled 'My Girl'

 

 



 

 

Using the matting and layer card I die-cut a doily shape out of the middle before layering the pieces up.  This time I used a stamp Little Claire which I have had for several years.  I coloured in the image with Promarkers - Blossom, Rose Pink, Khaki, Sandstone, Tan, Cinnamon, Cocoa, Ivory and Blush.  The colours I think work well together.  Around the outside of the stamped image I used a blending tool with distress ink Antique Linen - this soften the ages and also gave it a vintage look.

 

The background paper was from Lili of the Valley.

 

 

 



This time for the flowers I used a Sizzix die but used the same technique as in An American in Paris.  I also put a swirl of self adhesive gems.

 





 A shop recently opened in our town which dedicates itself to jewellery making - quite a treasure trove.  In there I found these charms which I thought were cute.

 

To finish off the card I put a small piece of lace and heart shaped button which I found in my stash.
