Passion for Promarkers - Child's Birthday...

Good morning, on another beautiful Spring day here in North Wales!  Tuesday has rolled around again which means it's time for the start of a new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers.  This week it's the lovely Eileen in the hostess chair and she's chose a nice easy theme of a card or project for a Child's Birthday.  (You can enter any sort of project, as long as you use your Letraset mediums and let us know where you've used them).
Our sponsor this week is the beautiful Aurora Wings who are offering one lucky winner a $15 voucher to their store!
Ispired by a card that I saw on Pinterest (which actually looked totally different to my end result!), I decided to have a go at an aperture easel card...
I used my Marianne square nesting dies to cut the aperture in the card base and frame, then went to town with my new scene dies from Clearly Besotted, Memory Box cloud die and a Marianne doily centre die for the sun!...
...I used Digistamp Boutique's super sweet Dan Fishing image and coloured him up with my Pro/Flexmarkers, then fussy cut him out and attached him using foam pads.  I embossed the 'water' panels using Cuttlebug embossing folder Distressed Stripes and inked with Stormy Sky DI.  I didn't want the scene to be over fussy so just added a sentiment and a couple of pearls as my crafty signature! I really liked the way the aperture easel card turned out and may just have a go with some different shaped apertures...but for now, that's it for me...I'm currently playing with paper flowers altering another box frame for my upcoming stall, so will share once I'm done!
Have a terrific Tuesday and I hope you can find the time to join in with our simple theme this week.  Don't forget to see what my other talented teamies have created for your inspiration and I'll be back soon with some more craftiness...promise!
Crafty hugs,

I love this idea of the cut out centre. I would never have thought of this on an easel card. A great scene. Elaine
