I made a clean and simple one-layer card for my niece's 6th birthday. Not much to explain really. I coloured the image with Prismacolor + Derwent Coloursoft pencils and Odourless Mineral Spirits (Gamsol Magic technique) then added some Kindyglitz Crystalina to the ribbon and heart on the teddy plus the present. I lightly chalked around the image with blue chalk. Here is a wee close-up:
I dragged out my Cuttlebug 'With Love' embossing borders set (which I don't use often enough!) and used the flower folder underneath the image, then added some pink rhinestones to the flower centres.
There is a Scor-pal line underneath the ribbon, under the image and above the pink cardstock punched border. The ribbon was attached in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made with my Bow Easy. I sewed through the button holes then glued the button to the ribbon.
Quick, simple and easy-peasy.
