Today’s handmade card has been created for the new challenge at I Love Promarkers Blog Challenge #383 that starts today.

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

I have used a digi image from Bugaboo Stamps called Sunbonnet Birthday Cake

Cut a piece from silver mirri card measuring 17.5 cms by 14.5 cms.
Matt and layer with the digi topper using foam pads.
Attach to the front fold of the card base on the left using foam pads.

Using silver ribbon make a bow.
Attach to the right of the front fold overlapping the silver ribbon.
Add a silver gem to the centre.
Here is a video on how to make this type of bow.
I have added three layers to this bow and not two like in the video
