Lazy Days

Ellie wanted to help me make a card, so we have started making thank you cards for the staff at Pre-school as she leaves at the end of July. So this is a joint effort (more mine than hers!)!

I watercoloured the iamge and Ellie helped cut it out using my nesties. Ellie chose the papers and wanted the butterfly to show, so we have decoupaged it. Ellie inked the edges of the image and chose the ribbons, the yellow organza doesn't show up brilliantly. We added clear buttons with pink ribbon tied through. Finally I stamped the sentiment.

We followed the Sunday Sketch and Stamp sketch, and the PBSC of buttons.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Penny Black Lazy Days; Papermania sentiment
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: Basic Grey Urban Prairie
Embellishments: buttons and ribbon from stash
