Sweet Little Donkey

 

 Hi all, I have had such fun over the past week, Stuart had a week off work, and we spent a lot of time crafting, and we made lots of cards.  This one was a freebie digi stamp from Meljen Designs, I love Melissa's images,she has beautiful stamps for sale, and gives away some smashing freebies, including this sweet little donkey.

Of course I used my Promarker Pens on both images, I am not sure what I did before I found Promarkers, I know I remember being really disappointed with a lot of my colouring, and now I am very rarely disappointed.

Both cards are really simple in construction. I used the same papers on both cards, as I am trying to use up some of my older bought papers, I honestly can't remember whose papers these are.  I did some searching on the net but as I said they were old 12x12 paper packs, if I find out whose they are I will add it. LOL.

I thought the image was so lovely the cards didn't need to much more embellishment.  The card at the top has a flower, cut from Spellbinders Nestabilities - Big Scalloped Circles, the three smaller circles.  The bottom card I used a Martha Stewart Doily Lace Edger Punch to make the paper ribbon, and the Nellie's Multi Frame Die Flower to make the embellishment. Both embellishments made using the dies through my Cuttlebug.

Well that didn't take me long to do, putting up my first card.  Just thought I would give you a taste of things to come.

This card was so simple to make, I used a digi stamp I bought from Meljen's Designs, and printed it out, I coloured it in using my Promarker pens, I then used a clear Sakura glitter pen and water brush to paint the wings to give them a soft glittery shine.  I also used Stickles in the Crystal colour to highlight areas on the image.  The bottle holding the firefly I used 3d Crystal Lacquer, which is my preferred glaze at the moment.
I then added some small green pearl embellishments from my stash, and mounted the image on some gold mirri board.  I did some faux stitching around the edge of the image card to complete the topper.

I used a large square card and covered it with a spotty green backing paper, a freebie from GTC's Crafty Corner, which I also faux stitched around the edge.  I used double sided tape to stick the topper directly onto the card at a jaunty angle because it looked right, and there it was my card was complete.  I hope you like it.
