For this weeks design team brief we were asked to create a project for the theme of 'Just Because' For my project I have chosen to create a card.  Just Because cards are my favourite to make as the recipient is never expecting it and they always have the biggest smile on their face when they open the card. I have chosen to make a square card using the  Winnie Wednesday Bat Dog Pre- coloured image . Using Canva I first created a spider web which I then coloured half of it in very bright colours and then for the right half of the spider web I chose to colour with Grey and black tones. Some of you will know where I got my inspiration from with a certain popular TV Series that recently air...

To make the image sparkle, I used my spectrum noir clear sparkle pen on the dress, flowers and ladybird. I also finished it off by using my glossy accents on the heart and the ladybird to create some dimension and shine. I did not feel that a sentiment was required on this occasion due to the MOM sentiment on the greeting card.

My card features the   Anniversary Winnie Celebrations 1 digital stamp image I adore this image and it was so much fun to colour. It is also a fab image to practice colouring hair. I am not the best at colouring hair but I think it turned out really good and have printed off a bunch of images so that I can continue to experiment with different hair colours. I also used the cream coloured pattered paper from the  Zodiac big kahuna bundle  I just love that the patterned papers are so versatile and can be used for many different occasions. For my sentiment I used...

For the main feature of my card, I had to use the Spring Daisy Gnome  digital image. I coloured the image using soft pastel colours which also matched the patterned paper I used.
