A 4 challenge card!!

Gosh, another really hot day - my washing was only out for 20 minutes this morning!!!
I have managed to get some crafting done - it has been a bit of a challenge as the pens bled and the fan sent the papers flying everywhere. However I have managed to make a card for 4 challenges:
Colour Create - grassy green, apple green, lemon, sunflower yellow and white
Sugar Bowl - sketch and sparkle
Cute Card Thursday - stitching
Charisma Cardz - buttons


I coloured my image using promarkers and then masked her and spritzed the image with gold glimmer mist (thanks for the idea Kim!!). My glimmer mist was a bit blobby today - obviously not enjoying the heat!! I matted all the papers and fauxed stitched them using white gel pen. I punched three flowers and spritzed them with gold glimmer mist, then threaded gold thread through the buttons and added them to the centres. I finished the card off with a punched swirl and some flat backed green pearls.

Just need to find somewhere cool for the afternoon!!

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Sugar Nellie Country garden
Colouring Media: Promarkers
Papers: K and Co
Embellishments: punched flowers and swirl, buttons, gold thread and pearls from stash
