CC635, An Open Heart
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Margscardcrazy

 This card is the second card for Karen's colour challenge for this week and is really a quick and easy CAS card but great fun to do, the longest part of the card was trying to workout how I could introduce a bug.
Finally settled on a bee and tied it to the ribbon.
The birds eye and beak have crystal effects as does the berries.
I used markers to ink up the sprig of leaves and berries and also the bird then lightly sprayed them with water from a mini mister.
I went round the images with the blush blossom marker to give them definition.
I heat embossed the greeting and sponged around the edge just to take some of the starkness away and there you have it.
Why not come and join us in creating a card for this challenge I would love to see what you can do.

This is so Beautiful! Your sponging really draws the eye inward to the images~

I have always loved this branch and it looks wonderful the way you have used it on your card! The bird is gorgeous in these colors! Lovely shading and you got the dessert in a very clever way.

How pretty this is, and I noticed the shadow effect you created with the marker, and love it!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
