A new card to share

I LOVE this digital image by Tiddlyinks! Wryn is so cute and with her little birdie friend I had to have the image! And---Use it right away!!

I have really fallen head over heals for making cards. It is such a huge surprise to me because I didn't think it would ever be something that grabbed at me like it does! I just love these little images to color and then putting the design together just really gets the creative juices flowing!
On the Image of Wryn I used my Marvy Uchida Le Plume Alcohol Markers and my Shinhan Touch Twin Markers! The image was printed on Gina K Pure Luxury Cardstock in pure white. I love this paper so much! I love how thick and smooth the finish is! I am going to order some of it in the Ivory color next!
 I used some pink and white bakers twine to tie around the card and then the sentiment was also part of the digital file. I used my Spun Sugar distress stain on the sentiment. I also added tattered Angels Glimmer Glam to sentiment! I wish you could see it in the photo! The papers on this card are Bazzill for the card base (in a pink shade) and the Pink Paislee Vintage Vogue collection that I just picked up recently from Blitsy!  I used a spellbinders die ( Classic Triple Scallop)  to die cut one of the patterned papers. Each of the papers has been distressed and inked with Antique Linen Distress ink. The image of Wryn has been fussy cut and also distressed with Antique Linen Distress ink!
The inside of the card continues with the Vintage Vogue by Pink Paislee and I have distressed and torn the edges of the paper. They are all inked with Antique Linen. Have I mentioned how much I love this ink! I have had it in my stash for sooo long and it wasn't until a few evenings ago when a friend asked me to describe the color that I really fell in love with it! It is a perfect shade of light brown (with a slight yellowish tint) I used another Spellbinders die ( Labels Eleven) for a nice place for a sentiment!

I really enjoyed making this card and I hope to make a few more this week!! Thanks for stopping by!

  1. great card! That is a darling image. I know what you mean about the card-making. A year ago I didn't like to make cards because I really didn't have much of an idea what to do. Now ...!!!!
