Graduation 2015

My boy graduated from primary school in December so I made him this card using the Grad Ian digi and the Oh Boy Ian image from The Greeting Farm.

I used copics to colour him. The sentiments are from Paper Smooches and My Favorite Things. Patterned paper from Kaisercraft and a photograph of the school uniform pattern.

 

 

Thanks for looking... have a great day!

Anya Blooms

I started making this card for The Greeting Farm's Farm Fresh Friday challenge  APRIL SHOWERS until a friend asked for a 21st birthday card so I decided to combine my efforts.

 

The challenge was to use clouds or rain in the design. I used the Hello Summer paper by Echo Park and popped the sentiment onto a die cut cloud from My Favorite Things (Cloud Trio dienamics).

 

I have used the Anya Blooms set and coloured her using watercolour pencils (Derwent Watercolour and Inktense).
