Update: I won the challenge at 'A Spoon Full of Sugar' (good luck/best wishes) with this card - my first blog challenge win! I'm sooooo pleased!!!
Good morning on what is yet another gorgeous day! This card was made for a colleague at work who has got a new job - I always find it so much harder making cards for work colleagues because you have to try and do something that the whole team will like, not just the person receiving it! I was asked to make something with an underwater theme as she likes scuba diving, but I didn't have anything suitable so she's getting sugar nellie instead!
The background is Core'dinations chocolate box card stock, crumpled and sanded to reveal the pink core. The pink paper was stamped with mini flowers in pink all over and both this, the border strip and the edge of the image and embossed sentiment were inked with tattered rose and brown corduroy distress ink. The image is Sugar Nellie 'Blossom' and is coloured with promarkers, I wasn't very happy with the colouring but I'm still learning I suppose! Finally flowers, card candy and stickles were added to finish. Let's hope she likes it!
