Todays card has been created for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge, A Stitch in Time. Im not sure what the title of this image is as it was a RAK from my friend Linda, but I wouldnt mind being able to relax as this little creature is doing as its so hot at the moment.
Ive coloured him with my copic pens and cut him out with my Nestabilitie Label die, Ive had to create a larger mount with some green pearlescent by drawing around the die, as Bev's tutorial shows you how to. I then mounted them together with some foam tape.
The base card is a 8"x 8" white card onto which I have layered up some pale blue pearlescent card, and a paper from my Nitwit Download papers, I have made a second mount with some yellow pearlescent card with another of the papers, and a third layer is another of the papers and this one is stuck to a piece of green pearlescent card, Ive then used my sewing machine to stitch them all around the edge, as the challenge asks.
Ive then layered them up on my base card in a upside down shape, and stuck the mounted image with foam tape in the centre. The stamped greeting is one that I have in my stash, and mounted this onto a tag punched out of green pearlescent card, then attached it to the card with some brads.
I created two flowers with my Hydrangea petals and stuck a brad through the centre with a sandal charm hung from the bottom flower, Ive also stuck a couple of yellow roses in the centres. Ive attached them to the card with some silicone glue, and some punched out leaves.
The final thing I have done is create some flourishes and stuck them to the bottom left hand corner with some pearls stuck amoung the flourishes.
