Only A Rose...

Challenges

Penny Black & Allsorts - All You Need Is Love
Allsorts (86) - Teal & Brown
Penny Black (134) - Card Buffet (3 Buttons/Patterned Paper/Ribbon/3 Gems)
Secret Crafter (117) With Love
Sketch Saturday (138) - Sketch
Creative Card Crew - Male
Passion For Promarkers (83) - All You Need Is love
Fab 'N' Funky (56) - Animal Magic
I Love Promarkers (49) - Keep It Sweet & Simple

I don't know about you but sometimes I get in a bit of a rut with the colours I use for my cards, usually soft pastels, so 'teal and brown' is quite a change for me. I think it worked rather well though. It also makes a change to make a male card, so much easier to make female ones don't you think. I coloured the cute little dog with Promarkers, inked the dges and layered it with Nesties which I raised with foam pads. The panel underneath has a punched border with two ribbons and three gems added. A circular sentiment and three buttons to finish. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.
