Bella on Present ,,,, :-)

Hi all :-)  I have just made this card using one of the recent released images from the Wild rose Studio ,, this cutie is called Bella on Present  :-)

I coloured with Copics and paper pieced the red pressie ,,, after making a complete mess of colouring it  ! Paper piecing hides a multitude of sins eh ! :-) The papers are Memory Box from a Pixie pack and I cut out the string of fairy lights and the pressie on my Silhouette Cameo :-)

Good Morning :-) I hope you’re all enjoying this lovely sunny weekend :-) ,,,,, well it is lovely here !! Hot and Sunshiney :-)

The theme over on the Less is More Challenge is Love and Marriage ,,, always a lovely theme eh :-)

I used a plain white card base and embossed a panel of the same card, I glittered the swirls and dabbed the hearts with a pearl dabber for a slightly shimmery look.

I used a MFT Hearts Aplenty die to create an embellie. I cut them out several times and glued  3 or 4 together to make them more like chipboard. I used the pink layering card for the top layer and glued and glittered it. The smaller one was dabbed with the pearl dabber. I then wrapped some twine around and added a little button, I quite like how that turned out :-) I finished with a silver heat embossed sentiment. 

Thanks for looking :-) I hope you all have a lovely Sunday whatever you are doing :-)

I have a candy at the top of my blog if you are interested in joining in :-)
