Todays card has been created for this weeks Cute Card Challenge - Back to School, and for this I have used one of the Tilda images masked with a pile of books behind her and coloured her with my copic pens. Afterwards with the new Labels Eight Nestabilitie die I cut her out and then draw around the same die to create a mount from blue pearlescent card for her to be mounted on but before doing so Ive used a blue chalk inkpad around the edge, I aso stamped the greeting and have done the same with this also.
For my base card Ive used the usual 8"x 8" white card and for the first layer Ive used a piece of same coloured pearlescent card and one of five patterned papers from the Look and Learn set of Nitwit Downloades. On top of this I have put a scalloped circle cut with my nestabilite die and the second of the papers, the third layer is a pink pearlescent card with a red spotted paper, Ive then stuck my mounted image on top in the centre with some foam tape.
I felt that it needed a little something so I punched some of the flourishes from yet another of the papers and stuck then down the right handside on the red spotted paper. I then created two flowers with my retro punches, layering up two blue spotted ones and one red and a yellow one, then put the pearl brad with a spacer through the centre, I did the same with the other flower but attached a couple of charms from this one, one is a ruler and the other a little girl. Before sticking them to my card Ive punched out some fern leaves and arranged them in some silicone glue before sticking my flowers on top.
