Bella

Good morning peeps, today I am sharing a Valentine card I have made using the gorgeous image 'Bella' by Conie Fong available from Sweet Pea Stamps.

This creation is for the challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More who are being sponsored by Sweet Pea Stamps.  Hope you will stop by and join in the fun :) :) :)

To begin with I designed and cut a couple of doilies, designed on Illistrator, saved as .svg and then cut with my die cutter.  The larger of the two I later coloured in a Warm Grey Promarker and the smaller one in Poppy Red Promarker
 Next I coloured the super sweet image again with Promarkers
 For the mat which the digi will be mounted on I wanted to try something new.  I bought a cheap sewing machine a couple of days ago as I love using lace on my cards and this really is the easiest way to attach it with little mess.  I alas only bought white sewing thread lol but my trusted Promarkers came to the rescue again :) :) :)
For the inside of the card - I embossed the front of the card before adding the die cuts so it would show through on the inside of the card.  I added a border die cut which is only attached at the bottom edge and the sides so the giver of this card can add a little something there is they wish.  A big heart die cut in white paper was added for the writing area.


Ingredients
Image - 'Bella' by Conie Fong available from Sweet Pea Stamps
Colouring Medium - Promarkers
Dies - Cherry Lyn Heart to Heart Doily
From my stash - lace, glass flowers and brads

I am entering this creation in the following challenges:)
