I had a little bit of free time yesterday so I thought I'd play in a challenge. And since I already had this image sitting here waiting to be colored I decided to play in Bella's and Bronte's challenge which is to use a sentiment.
I recently treated myself to a large set of Faber Castell Polychromos pencils and of course I used them here for coloring. These are amazing! They are oil based which makes them super easy to blend with baby oil. The face however was colored with copics as I haven't had time yet to figure out the pencils for skin tones.I used papers from Basic Grey (Olivia collection I think). Embellished with some ribbon, felt flowers and brads and a little button with twine. The sentiment is from the set Summer Letter Seals by Whimsy Stamps. These letter seals are so fun to use! It's a set of 9 stamps. Here is a quick view of all the stamps in the set.
The letter seals stamps are also available for other seasons and holidays, like autumn, winter, love, spring and maybe even some more.
To finish the card off I did some sewing with my janome sew mini.
And here are a few challenges I'd like to enter:
Mo's digital challenge - my sentiments exactly

Fab card Ellie and great colouring!
ReplyDeleteI used to love my polychromos pencils, that's what I always used before copics and Promarkers, but don't have them anymore (got ruined in the fire). They are so easy to blend with and don't break as easy as Prismas do!
hope your having a great weekend!
