Card-makin Mamas challenge #20 For a Loved one


Hi there - I've some more really exciting news today & that is that I will be posting for my third design team. I'm really thrilled to be working with an American based blog 'Card-Makin' Mamas. If you've not allready come from there - you must go over & take a look at the site, theres plenty to inspire & I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest of the DT's makes, click this link: Card-Makin Mamas.

The theme for this challenge was 'For a Loved one' & was sponsored by Meljen designs. If you've not heard of their images go give them a check put - they're particularly well drawn & have an extreemly distinctive style that once your familiar with you can spot a mile off! heres the link to the store Meljen designs.

Now onto my card. Stunning papers are Bo Bunny Love Bandit, image by Meljen Designs of course...

As I sitll don't have my Copics yet & my Distress Inks keep running when I try to watercolour digi images cause of not having genuine ink (the cheap stuff runs like crazy!) I decided to paper piece...

The fab card-stock is Bo Bunny double dot that I've recently fallen in love with for makes like this...

The Maya Road chipboard letters have been painted with red acrylic, dotted with white acrylic, then set with Glossy Accents...

...Metal bits are from We are memory keepers hardware tin. Cut little lady-bugs are actually buttons. Mini-alphas are Cosmo Cricket & ace green button by Stampin Up...

Kraft card-stock & twine added for that touch of rustic charm! The tab has been cut from patterned papers form the collection...

    Great card Deb, All the details and layout are fab. I have the same trouble with the ink from my printer on digis (have you tried heating it with a heat gun first before trying to colour, it sometimes works better?)Good Luck with all the Design team cards, Hugs, Teresa x
