Kindness is beautiful - All Dressed Up Challenge

Afternoon - I hope you are having a lovely Easter Bank Holiday! Today is also the start of a new challenge at All Dressed Up.  I have used this beautiful image called Party Season. 
I wanted to make a special card so used this stunning gold wood effect paper from Jen Hadfield Homemade collection and the foiled greeting is from Homemade Quotes.


I made the card base by simply folding the front panel back in half and the band is folded the opposite way. Its very simple but effective. I covered the band with paper from MFT watercolour wash brights and used a little gold mirri to edge the panel. I used gold pen on the girls belt, purse and top. I used Olympic Gold Cosmic shimmer pigment to colour the middle top and it really does shine like gold! I used a Woodware punch to make some leaves and added a resin flowers that I edged with Gold stickles. Finally I added a couple of puffy Gold Hearts from Freckled fawn.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Blue Greys 1 - 5
Buttercup, Pineapple Crush, Sleigh Bells and Raw Sienna.
Saffron, Cinnamon,Cocoa, Saddle Brown & Walnut
Baby Pink, Cocktail Pink, Pink Lobster & Red Sweater.
Meadow Green, Apple, Leaf Green & Forest Green.


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Fussy &Fancy - Fancy folds
Cardz 4 Galz - Handbags & Gladrags
Fairy Tale Challenge - More than one fold
Love to Scrap - Girls rule
Naughty or nice - Three of something


I hope you like my card and will take some time to create with these beautiful images from All Dressed Up. There are some Freebie to get you addicted over on the blog too! Take a look Here -} alldressedupchallenges.blogspot.co.uk

Hope you are having a lovely Easter Weekend and get some time to get your craft on over the Bank Holiday!
See you soon,
Liz (:(|)x
