It was my good friend Sue's birthday this weekend and so I made her this card. I had hoped to get time last week to make it so it would arrive in time for her birthday but that plan went a little pear-shaped so it's going to make a late entry!!
I used Poppy Meadow stamp set by IndigoBlu to create my meadow border and lovely poppies. I stamped everything in Ranger Archival ink and them painted my flowers with watercolours. I used Caran D'Ache Neocolor III wax pastels which give a fantastically vibrant colour, particularly if you dip them into water and colour directly onto your design.
The butterfly is from a stamp set by Lost Coast Designs. I coloured it with pencils and used a red stickle on the wingtips before 3D mounting it using silicone glue.
The sentiment is by Tim Holtz.
I like the simplicity of this card - and I adore IndigoBlu's stamps, particularly the silhouette borders.
Have a great week. x
Beautifully done- love the sentiment too!
