APRIL CHALLENGE AT CBN

My Inspiration
 
 
Well yesterday was the start of the April challenge over at Crafty bloggers Network. Firstly can I just say a big congratulations to the winners. The entries are all wonderful and it is so hard to choose winners as they are all so gorgeous.
This months challenge is dies and embossing so why not enter on of your makes . The sonsor this month is Rick St Dennis and you have the chance to win some digi images.
For my inspiration this month I embossed a piece of white card with a creative expressions embossing folder and then distressed it with shaded lilac. I then downloaded the digi image into my docrafts programme and sized it to fit a 6x6 card. ( The finished card is a 7x7) I then coloured with pro markers and wink of stellas. My fav product of the moment. Unfortunately you cant see the sparkle on the photo but they really do wink.
I finished off by distressing the edges and mounting onto the embossed card and adding some flowers from my stash. Have to own up at these ones were not made by me. lolx I couldnt resist adding the little ladybird at the end. I have had these embellishment in my stash for so long and cant bear to use them in case I run out. I know we all do it. Stupid isnt it. lol.x Well I must go as I have a spring fayre to do some makes for at the weekend and have very little made so will be burning the midnight oil me thinks.x
 
Happy Crafting

What a very pretty card. The hint of colour to the edging of the embossed backing is wonderful and gives it a great finish. The image is beautiful and detailed and you have coloured her perfectly.
