Elzybells Challenge #35

The challenge this time on Elzybells Blog is to make your own backing paper. I love doing this but don't spend enough time making it as there are sooooo many beautiful papers out there. I thought as I had not done any for so long I would make two cards - one girl and one boy.

This first card has paper made using sentiment stamp onto white card then heat embossed using clear embossing powder and chalk inks blended over.

Image : Cutie Patootie (07-020) from Elzybells
Sentiment: Wishes/birthday/thanks (03-175) from Elzybells
Medium: Promarkers
Tools: Cuttlebug, blossom nesties, circle nesties, Woodware Daisy punch in 3 sizes
Pearls, spacers and brads from stash

This card is a little simpler. I stamped the backgrounds onto blue card using new pigment ink from Elzybells in whipped cream. I made a simple easel card and matt and layered blue and yellow bazzill.

Image, sentiment & background stamps: Boys will be Boys clear set (20-008) from Elzybells
Medium: Proamarkers
Tools: Cuttlebug & nesties
Brads from stash

Hi Jane,
These are beautiful but my favourite has to be the girl card. It's so charming and gorgeously coloured.
