Follow Your Dreams Esme

Well Hello there!

As you've probably noticed I've been missing for a while.

It's been a busy old time since my last post with preparations for Christmas in the shop.

The gift side of the shop goes a bit mad at this time of the year & we also hold our annual Christmas Shopping Evenings at the beginning of November. Not to mention half term holidays in October & Daisy's birthday party which I was brave enough to host at our house!!.

 

 

My project I'm sharing today is a Birthday card for my friend's daughter who turns 6 this week.

You may remember my card for her brother Finley featuring the Max Rocks stamps from Visible Image.

For this card for Esme, I have used the Fairy Dance stamp from Stampendous.

 

 

I wanted to keep this card very girly as it is going to be put in a frame & hung on the wall in her bedroom. So of course it had to be pink, purple & sparkly.

This stamp was the perfect image as when us 2 mums get together Daisy & Esme are forever dancing & twirling around in pretty dresses practicing their ballet moves!.

 

 

The image was coloured with my Inktense pencils & an extra skirt added over the top of the original to add dimension.

The Follow Your Dreams sentiment from Visible Image was stamped over a blended Distress Ink sky & foliage was stamped down the edges in green using a Lavinia stamp.

 

 

The image was layered onto white card & a background made with Brushos. The larger background was a mix of picked raspberry & dusty concord over stamped with a rose design, also from Stampendous.

I embossed around the edges with sparkly pink Wow! embossing powder & added a cluster of flowers & leaves & of course, lots of stickles glitter glue.

 

 

Thanks for visiting.

I hope to be back again very soon.
