Rosabella and Drake

Hi folks!
Just want to start with a huge thank you for your lovely comments about my new character Rosabella. Well here she is again and this time I'd like to introduce Drake too. Don't they just make an adorable couple?


I followed this weeks sketch challenge sk012409 over on Paper Craft Planet. It's the first time I've tried one of their sketches (will have to look into how to post on there/link it up later as I'm off to work in a mo) I haven't tidied my craft table since the last card so, you guest it, I used the same Basic Grey papers again. The flourish boarder is made using my Cricut Expression and that adorable Storybook cartridge. The corner flourishes are a Cuttlebug die. I cut the gold mirri board free hand with my trusty deckle edged scissors. I coloured Rosabella and Drake with my Prismas and added glitter to their wings and to the flower in Rosabellas hair. That's pretty much it.

Thanks also for the photography tips...am I getting any better?

Hugs

Friday Sketchers & Cute Card Thursday Challenges

Hi folks!

Here is another of my images, this time 'Rosabella Wish'. For this card I have followed the sketch over on Friday Sketchers. Had a bit of a struggle threading the ribbon through and attaching it to the back... I went all a bit fingers and thumbs as I used sheer ribbon with ric rac layered on top. I didn't let it beat me and am glad with the result. The papers are the same as those on my previous post. I think they suit little Rosabella really well. I've had the metal coil on my stash for ages and the leaves and flowers are from my Storybook Cricut cartridge. I have coloured Rosabella with my prismas and glittered her delicate wings. They are much more sparkly in real life.

Any tips on photographing my card would be gratefully received. I am also entering this card into the Cute Card Thursday challenge which is to create a scene. Do hope you like my card.
Hugs
