Good morning guys! I was hoping to post this card last night, but the battery on my camera (well, hub's camera!) was flat, plus the light was awful - so I decided to wait until this morning to take some half decent (that's the best I can achieve!) photos...
...I haven't made an easel card in a while, so created this little card using the Saturated Canary freebie, Hugs and Kisses, that Krista kindly offered the other day...
...I was trying to use some brighter colours, especially with my colouring - not as much of a contrast as I was hoping, but she still turned out quite pretty...if somewhat pink again!..
...This pic shows the colours more true, so I am getting there and look, she's got blonde hair rather than my usual brown! I used my Martha Stewart punch around the page punch to create the card base, though I don't think I'll be doing it very often as it was right on the limit of the punch trying to cut through both layers of card for the easel base! I'm sure there's another way, but I just ploughed ahead relentlessly!
Promarker colours used :
Skin : (usual combo)
Hair : Vanilla, Mustard, Gold, Sandstone, Caramel
Top and leg warmers : Muted Pink (FM), Pale Pink, Dusky Rose, Antique Pink
Skirt and boots : Honeydew (FM), Meadow, Leaf and Forest Green
Hearts : Red - Antique Pink, Crimson, Burgundy, Blue - Soft Mauve, Blue Pearl, Cornflower
Box : Satin, Sandstone, Caramel
...I used First Edition paper pads Love letters and Isabelle, and added a couple of lace heart die cuts, scalloped corners, some pins, a small feather, bow and pearls. I highlighted the image with Glamourdust and added the 2 sentiments using Orator font...
