Embracing the Pink...

Welcome to  Crafting When We Can challenge #130

No Square Cards

Our sponsor this week is the wonderful

Julia Spiri

and I got to use her "April Elf" image.

 and this card is about as "Not Square" as they get :D

I started by taking a "flower" shaped card and cutting an aperture in it.

 I used the same die plus a size larger to cut a frame from glitter card,

glued it in place and then put the front through an embossing folder...

I collected a selection of Promarkers that I 

thought would work with the strong pink card stock.

 I used quite deep pinks for her skin tone 

*this photo was taken lit from behind*

 as the bright pink card would "leech" colour when nearby.

 I covered the inside surface with a soft paper

 before gluing the fussy cut figure in place :D

The flowers on the front are hand coloured to match

using the same collection of markers as the image :D

Enjoy :D XXX
