A Cherry Blossom Birthday at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

Well that summer just flew by! The kids are off to school again, and The Paper Shelter Blog Challenge is back to bi-weekly challenges after the summer break.

It's a crafter's-favourite theme this week, and that is to simply to ADD FLOWERS, which gives you plenty of occasions to make something for.

I have used Pg7 of the 'Orient Fantasy' colouring book to make an easel stepper birthday card. 


I've had some cherry blossom embellishments for years but never seem to make anything that they fit with, so I thought it was about time to utilize them!

I used some Liquid Pearls for the flower centres on the image, so they would match the embellishement flowers.


The papers are from a Hunkydory kit, so I used a sentiment from the pack.


I love this style of card as you get lots of extra space for embellishing,.

I always use pencils now to add 'makeup' to character images, as it looks more like eyeshadow/blush than markers do.


Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!


You can also share your creations over in our Facebook Group.
