Stamping Bella Happy Birthday Wife

Hello -  I was asked to make this card for a collegues wife for her Birthday. This image from Stamping Bella just seemed perfect! She is called Opal the Optimist
I printed the image and then die cut the edge using a My Favourite things Scalloped stitched basic edge 2 collection.

The stripey and patterned paper I have used for the background is from My Minds Eye Market St Ashbury Heights collection. I used some ribbon from my stash and die cut a gold Happy Birthday sentiment using a Lawn fawn die and attached this over the ribbon. I also used a Craftwork Cards panel saying "for my wife" and layered this up with flags and attached under a pink resin flower.
Finally I added a couple of puffy Freckled Fawn hearts and some glaze to the bottle and glass.

To colour Opal I used these promarkers and flexmarkers -
Skin - Usual
Flowers - Poppy, Cerise and baby pink
Dress - Aquamarine, Oasis, Turquoise & Marine
Drink - Mango & Baby pink
Seamist over the bottle
Hair - Cinnamon, Raw Sienna & Henna

Dream Catcher.

Sorry peeps - For some reason I didn't post this on Wed!! Better late than never hey!!

Morning - today is that start of a new challenge at I love Promarkers. 
The sponsor is Ike's Art and the theme is Embossing. I have used an image called Dreamcatcher.

The Patterned papers are from Crate Paper collection called Journey. The Wooden Feather is from Frackled Fawn. The cut the image in a panel and mounted it onto mint satin card. I added lots of gems to the image and some liquid pearls to give detail. I glued some ribbon on to the embossed and punch panel that had been made with a Martha Stewart. The Believe greeting is from Make it Crafty and I coloured the base layer with Promarkers in a co-ordinating colour.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers -
Carmine & Cocktail pink
Marine & Oasis
Ice Grey 2 & 5
Sleigh Bells, Pineapple Crush, Buttercup & Eggnogg
Midnight Blue.

All from me for now,
Liz (:(|)x
