Happy Birthday Karen!

Hello, here is an easel card I made for my friend and fellow DT member Karen (KazC).

I wanted very gentle colours for this card and found a tutorial on the Lili of the Valley blog for blending one colour with white.

Close up of easel stopper, greeting from Craftwork Cards.

Close up of image to show colouring, with stickles added 

I'm entering this card into this weeks challenge with Lily of the Valley, which was to choose a line from the bingo card and include the three elements, I chose ribbon and lace (paper lace hearts as I am away from home and have no lace with me), gems and flowers.

Card Blank & Greeting - Craftwork Cards

Punches - Martha Stewart & Stampin' Up

Patterned papers - Kaiser Craft, Bonjour

Other - butterflies, paper roses, gems,  ribbon & Chalk inks.

I also made Karen one of my Aprons.

Thanks for looking.

Happy Birthday Karen!
