Papertake Weekly- 100th Challenge!
Gosh, i have been busy, my nan's birthday's in a few weeks so i decided i wanted to make her something really special.

For the front, i have used this mega cute Fox Chasing Butterfly available to buy from Nikki, at Bunny-Zoes Crafts. I stamped him out several times to achieve 4 layers of decoupage, these have all been coloured with whispers and watercolour pencils.
The gorgeous little charm was sent to me by Jacqui {thankyou xx} and i've attached it with some thin chain and a jump ring.
I made this by attaching 2 A6 White card blanks together and decorating. This is a picture of the next thing you'll see when you open the first panel. I've used a PM fabric embellishment, and some Co-Ordinations cardstock.
The next picture is the inside, i've used some clear stamps from the CCSR for this as i though they fitted the first image quite nicely. I also left a space in the middle so i can write my message.
What i used:
Paper: K+Co
Cardstock: Co-Ordinations
Stamps: CCSR- Doodles, PM, and CC. Designs- Fox Chasing Butterfly.
Mediums: Whispers and watercolour pencils

Cardstock: Co-Ordinations
Image: Sugar Nellie.
Colouring materials: Whispers, promarkers, watercolour pencils and sakuras.

Tilda again!
Paper and Card- Citrus Stack, from DCWV
Image- Magnolia, coloured with promarkers and sakura's
Embellies: Prima flowers, punched daisys, perfect pearls, and woodware brads
Morning,
Hope you're all well. I thought I'd share with you another Magnolia card i made for the challenge over at Friday Sketchers, i was awkward and rotated the sketch 90 degrees anticlockwise! Thanks girls, i really loved working with it.
I just had to use my Citrus Papers from DCWV again... they're addictive!
For this card, i coloured the background fence, and then Tilda. I embossed her so she curled, and then popped her on top with silicone glue. I think this gives a really nice affect
I'm also going to enter this into the Stamp Something challenges which is winged things, my paper has little bee's on and Tilda has got one in her hand. :O)
I might do a tutorial on this if io find the time!
