The challenge at Phindy's is to create a card using blue shades. I used another one of her Summer Cuties, just can't seem to stop colouring them, sooooo adorable!
The images was coloured with Copics and I drew the background with Copics too, so proud of myself, lol.
I made the flowers myself from bits of ribbon, buttons and bling and used the gorgeous leaves my friend Viv sent me, with some Stickles added.
The faux stitching was creating by investigating Sylvia's gorgeous cards, can see myself using that a lot!
So, as you can see, not much of myself on that card!!! The lace and flatback pearls were from my stash though, and I used a quote from dr Seuss as a sentiment.
I made the box for the card with Martha Stewart scoring board, sooooo easy. If anybody wants a quick tutorial about it, let me know!

Skin: E21/002/00/000

Not quite sure where to start with this one Annika but I have to say it's the nicest card I've seen in blogland all week!! I love the sweet image and your colouring is amazing, especially that awesome background!! Love what you've done to make your own flowers, makes you feel really creative when you produce something like that doesn't it!! Please could you tell me where I can get my hands on those gorgeous leaves too, I'm a bit of a foliage girl and I just have to get some!!
