Live Life In Full Bloom – Hydrangea

0 7 Comments

Today’s handmade card has been created for the new challenge at I Love Promarkers Blog Challenge #384 that starts today.

The optional theme for this challenge is flowers, but you must use either promarkers, flexmarkers, aquamarkers or trias on your work.

I have used a digi image from Ike’s Art called Hydrangea

Instructions:

Print the digi stamp three times and colour in with promarkers.

The promarkers used were :

Next cut a square out of white card using the large square die.

Then using both square dies cut a frame out of black card.

Layer the flowers onto the white square frame.
Using foam pads to give depth to the flowers.
