So as a big thank you and to cheer her up I have made her this card. I have combined 2 Elisabeth Bell stamps, Sugar Nellie's Penpal, and Whiff of Joy's Melinda reading a book, for this project, as they do seem to go so well together.
Having watercoloured the image I inked the edges with olive green ink (and kept sneezing so its a bit rough and ready!). I used Basic Grey papers and scalloped the edges of backing papers using my nesties. I just used Prima flowers and little green and pink gems to embellish the card.
For the book mark I used the same papers, scalloping and gems. I added pink ribbon fastens with brads to finish it off.
I made a pocket inside the card to put the book mark in using co-ordingating papers (should have taken a pic of that - oops!)
I am really pleased with the finished results - and Christine loved it. Oh and Beth tried to remove bits of it!!
