Thanks for coming to my blog today! I am, alongside many others …being highlighted internationally by Kylie Bertucci and you are able to VOTE for my project. The top ten winners will get to be part of an international blog hop so please vote for my project. You can do that here
Our theme for this highlight is encouragement as we all need a kind word said to us to build us up. I have decided to make a card for a very good friend.
I have use the stamp set ‘Special Reason’ which I thought was appropriate for the theme today which is encouragement – sometimes we don’t need a special reason to tell someone how great they are!
I have stamped the flower in Melon Mambo ink and then used the new Watercolour Pencils to add depth and shading to the flowers. I coloured over the petals in Melon Mambo pencil and the centre of the flower in Early Espresso.
The sentiment says “I’m lucky to have a friend like you” and this and the little flower have both been raised up on dimensional.
Thanks for visiting my blog today make sure you head over to Kylie’s blog – http://www.craftykylie.com/2016/12/kylies-international-blog-highlights.html to vote for my project.
