My friend Joan who owns "country crafts" and is the NEW sole distributor of Nellie Snellen, Joy crafts and Marianne designs in South Africa asked me to make her a card using a few of the newly delivered dies, she also kindly donated this beautiful stamp to my stash. I wasnt gonna post it on my blog until i had given it to her, but after chatting with her on the phone today she decided that she couldnt possibly wait till next week when i will be seeing her again.
Ny image was colored with copics, i popped her wings and added lots of diamond dust stickles, matted her on a nestie and then used this Marianne desing die behind my matted image. I had to use the flowers that are also a new die to the range of all the imports, so i layered them up after curling the edges and then added a pearlised flower to the centre and a little flat back pearl. I also added the flourish made from flat backed pearls in a beautiful soft pink. The whole design is another one of those round flip cards that slides to reveal the inside where one would normally write a sentiment.
I am not entering this into any challenge as i didnt find one that fits the bill, i am just sharing.
