So happy.....

Hi Crafting friends

I’m just dropping in today to share a card I made yesterday with my latest art supply – Inktense pencils.

I’ve had my eye on them for a while but didn’t understand the difference between these and ordinary water colour, but there is a big difference!  They are so bright and saturated with colour, they give a really vibrant effect, and they spread so easily with water… I think I’m in love with them!

I also recently had a Polkadoodles splurge getting lots of their stamp sets while they were on a deal on create and craft so I paired them up to make a few pretty cards.

This is the first one I made.

Its using several different stamp sets

• Grace weidre
• Spring wishes
• rainbow wishes
• Sunburst trees

I stamped them onto a plain (but heavyweight) white cardstock using versafine black ink, then using my new pencils coloured the images in.  I then fussy cut them all out.

The background is using a i-craft DL stencil for the spots ink blended with wilted violet distress oxide.  the other stamps in the background are from Tracey Hey (the writing and circles in the background)

I then layered the flowers and my character with a combination of glue and foam pads for dimension, all finished with a sparkle pen!  Finally matted and layered onto block cardstock.

I'd like to enter this into:
