Cups and Books


 Hello, I'm back again with my second post for today.
This is my DT card for this fortnight's challenge at Crafty Catz,
 the theme is as always
 Anything Goes and Billie has chosen the option of Feminine Birthday for anyone who would like to use it.

our sponsor for this challenge is Last Minute Manda
I made an octagonal easel card using a pretty sponsor image,
 Shabby Chic Cups and Books, the image is greyscale so very easy to colour- I used my Copic markers.
I die cut the image using an octagonal die and matted it onto a larger purple layer, for the base I embossed the smaller octagon and added the die cut sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by today,
I hope you have a lovely Easter weekend.
Chris

Greyscale or not, Chris, your coloring ALWAYS melts my heart with its beauty. You have such a way of shading and choosing hues. So beautiful! Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog today. You brightened my day!
