Dutch Dare Card Challenge #39

Sorry I forgot ...

Well this is an appropirate challegne for me as I forgot the lady who runs our local Mums and Tots group's birthday, so I made her this.


She is bird mad, so this gorgeous Leanne Ellis image was perfect. I have kept it really bright and cheerful, using turquoise and yellow, not a combination I usually do. I coloured the image in promarkers and then distressed the background. I embossed the background using this flowers folder, and the buttons and stitching borders (got a bit carried away with the embossing!). I punched the flowers and added some braid from my stash.

Do check out the other DT creations, and have a go yourself - it can be a card for any occasion you have forgotten.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Sugar Nellie Day Dreamer; Sugar Nellie sentiment; PB Saluations
Colouring Media: Promarkers, distress ink
Papers: Patterned dp DCWV Nursery stack; Coredinations; cardstock from stash
Embellishments: punched flowers, gems and braid from stash
