Teal and Chocolate - Poppy

I used Stampin Up patterned paper (to the nines) and the stamp set Remember by Papertrey Ink to make the card.

I love chocolate and teal colours together. This shot doesn't show up to well the embossed top of the cream card but a close up further down the page does so please scroll down.

Attention to detail...

The top of the card that I stamped on was embossed using the paisley Cuttlebug folder I distressed around the endges of the top cards then tied around the ribbon and knotted it through a button to finish,

I stamped the poppy twice, cut one out then added it with a dimentioal dot to make it pop.

I used soft shades when using the promarkers to colour the image I tried to match with the pretty papers and satin ribbon.

I used the Martha Stewart Flourish edger punch at each side of the image.

Attention to detail...

Soft colours work really well on toddler images don't be afraid of leaving white parts when shading.

Keeping all of the colours matching

Love You - Shy Valentine Nessa

Shy Valentine Nessa is a digi stamp drawn by Mo Manning you can find her here.

I coloured her with Promarkers and then cut around her.

White base card layered with a cm smaller deep red, the hearts (nestabilities) scalloped white and plain deep red card, layered and a white ribbon tied around, I glued a few clear iridescent hearts at opposite corners and wrote the wording on the bottom right corner then finished by adding 3 flat back pearls.

Attention to detail...

Arghhhh black hair, I got this result using Promarkers, black, ice grey 5, ice grey 3 and a bit of the ink essentials white gel pen.

Don't be afraid to add your own hand writing to the front of a card, it adds character.
