Scissors…

Wahoo – I’ve found my scissors! They were hiding in my ribbon box and I looked everywhere for those naughty Minkeys 🙂

A card that hits two challenge buttons today. Firstly it uses the lovely sketch over at BasicGrey Challenge blog and then it incorporates embossing for the Penny Black Challenge blog. Sorted 🙂

Details: the embossing used my cuttlebug and embossing folders and Core-dination card, which I then sanded to show the core colour. The teal-coloured gems on the image are actually plastic beads that I cut in half with a button shank remover. The Penny Black image is coloured with Marvy Le Plume watercolour pens and cut out and shaped. I used a fine marker to add the extra stamen-like bits to the flower. BasicGrey Granola papers were used too 🙂


Materials:
Papers – BasicGrey Granola
Stamp – Penny Black
Inks – Distress inks
Colouring – Marvy Le Plume water colour pens
Usual Suspects – Silicone glue; 3D-glue; Double-sided tape; Paper Trimmer
Other – Button; Hemp string; Core-dination Black Magic card; Button Shank Remover; Fine Marker; Fine marker pen; Cuttlebug and embossing folder
