I needed to make a wedding card for one of my American cousins, kinda sad really as I had intended on travelling to Michigan for the wedding but due to finances couldn't go in the end :o(So decided to try & make a really special wedding card & make use of the wedding couple I bought from LOTV couple months back!Following the LOTV Challenge 35 LO I pieced together this card using LOTV papers! I hand cut the circle & managed to stamp my wedding couple smack bang in the center (boy was I impressed with myself!). Colouring them in using promarkers (whatelse!?), I added glitter with my clear sakura pen & highlights with glossy accents.For the lettering I coloured in some card, chopped out the letters with my quickutz handtool then glazed them once stuck down!
Promarkers used: Ice Grey 1 & 4, Cool Grey 2, Ivory, Lavender, Lilac, Meadow Green, Henna, Terracotta & spice.
Well I've done 2 cards & I just cant decide which I prefer! Both are the same LO & stamped image, but the colours are different & I like them both in different ways!
Challenges:
Sketch and Stash - Use the LO provided & either new or forgotten stash item
Passion for Promarkers - Theme is "Girly & Glittery" Green & Purple Hippo:I like how I've coloured this image using Lavender, Lilac, Meadow Green, Apple & Pastel Green promarkers.The sketch is from Sketch & Stash and my "new" stash is the image which I stamped up from my friend Ruth.The papers are all Lili of the Valley.

This particular card will be saved for my mums birthday as we have a history of "ballerina hippos" & she loves the colour green!Blue Hippo:
Once again the LO is from the Sketch & Stash challenge, here not only is the stamped image a new one (I stamped up a few when Ruth came round lol) but also the strip of fun paper is one I've never used before - Daisy Bucket "Bloomin Paislies / Dazzling Darbie", amazing what you find routing round in your stash!I love how I've done the ballerina skirt here with glitter, though cannot credit it as an original idea as I saw it done in pink by one of the DT on the Friday Sketchers blog, thought it was so cute & had to try for myself!Hippo is coloured this time in Sky Blue, Agean, Cornflower Blue, Cool Grey 2 & 4
Taken at a slightly different angle with the sun hitting it so you can see the glitter!
Now not my normal type of card, for a start there's no pink or glitter on it lol, but I do love it & think it's the perfect entry for the Pollycraft Monday Challenge (http://pollycraftchallengeblog.blogspot.com/) which wanted "furry friends" :DDovecraft "Pet" Papers were used on the one half.The sausage dog was a Tales from Pollycraft free download! Coloured in with promarkers henna, petrol blue, orange & ice grey 1.
