Totally Papercrafts Pearls and Swirls Challenge

Oohh wow ,, we had loads of entries last week ,,, everyone likes 'Girlie' Cards :-)

Time for a brand new theme over on the Totally Papercrafts Challenge this week the challenge has been set by the lovely Joanne and she has chosen the theme

SWIRLS AND PEARLS :-)

we are sponsored this week by Squigglefly so some gorgeous digi stamps on offer !! :-)

The DT were given some lovely images to use ,,, thanks xx :-)

For my card I followed the fab sketch on the Create4Fun Challenge The image is called 'All Dressed Up' ,, isn't she cute !! :-) I coloured her with copics and paper pieced her shawl, shoes, head band and flower ,, just adding some extra colour for shading. I popped the shawl and flower up a little too with silicone glue for a bit of dimension. I wanted to use black pearls ,, but didn t have any black liquid pearls ,,, so ,,, I squeezed some pearl liquid pearls out ,, then mixed in some copic black alcohol ink ,, and it worked OK !! :-) ,, my pearls are the mishaped freshwater type !!! lol :-) The paper is from Craft Creations and I used pearlescent stardream card and plain black card too. The fancy edge was punched with a Martha Stewart punch. The pearls are from Kaiser Craft and the rose is Prima, sprayed with black copic ink using my copic air brush ,, fab gadget that is !! :-) The pin is a lovely Maya road one that I won on Martine's Simon Says Stamp sponsored candy :-)
