Hello,
I hope that you are all well and enjoying your Summer holidays!
Nearly into August now. Crazy or what!
Here is a card I made which I would like to share with you.
I have coloured my image with Distress Ink Pads onto 300gsm watercolour paper. For a little bit of sparkle I have added some Sakura Star Dust clear pen to her.
I have distressed the edges of this and all my papers with Walnut Stain.
I have added some of that gauzy stuff behind my image that I see on so many blogs. Took me ages to find it and when I did I had to laugh at myself. All it is is bandage. So that's that mystery solved lol!

I have decorated the inside too.
The butterflies I have cut out of a sheet of images from Pion papers. So loved using these beautiful papers.
Here is the inside left.
I have mainly just used the image on the delicious paper and have added a feather with a few flowers and seam binding for depth.
Here is the inside right.
The oval is a nestie and the border dies are Magnolia Doohickeys.
Here is a close up of the image.
I thank you so much for your visit with me, and wish you a great weekend and a great week ahead.
For anyone that is interested. I will be adding this card to Ebay later this evening.
love
