Busy Doing Nothing and Serif Craft Artist

Afternoon everyone

Finally got into my craft room this morning and managed to actually make a card so thought I would share it with you all.

The image I have used is "Busy Doing Nothing" by Sheena Douglass and I have coloured it using polychromos pencils again.  As I really love the colour I used for her dress I decided to make some matching papers in Craft Artist for my card.  And of course, as always, I made the insert in Craft Artist too.

Here is the finished card.

The card base is 190mm x190mm and I have used centura pearl from Crafters Companion for the embossed panel.  The background, including the two sets of three "pearls" or "brads" I made myself in Craft Artist and printed out as one, and then added glossy accents to the pearls.  I have gone around the edges of the topper lightly using Tim Holtz distress ink in Stormy Sky, and the patterned panel I have mounted it onto was also made by me in Craft Artist, as was the sentiment.  I have finished the card with some ribbon, a bow, a Cheery Lynn die cut swirl and a little paper flower (coloured with flexmarkers to match the rest of the card.)

This is how it all appeared in Craft Artist before I printed, cut and glued!

This was how I laid out the card front

And here is the insert
