Perfect Pansies

This week our sponsor at For Fun Challenges is the Digi Doodle Shop. This week's winner will receive a $10 gift voucher to the Digi Doodle Shop. The DT was given some gorgeous floral images to play with since our challenge is flowers with a sentiment. Just remember, the flowers must be the focal point!



My card uses pansies. The second I saw it, I just knew I had to make a card with this image. Pansies are just such happy flowers to me. They grow like weeds around the base of my monkeypod tree. They just appeared one day and even when DH chops them down with the lawn mower once a month, they always come back. I love pansies. Notice the yellow pearls for the centers. Pansies come in a huge selection of colours but the centers are always yellow.

This week, I decided to stretch myself, I tried a round card for the first time because I wanted to make a slightly larger card that would really show off the image. It was actually really simple, I used my CM cutter to make the circles. The image is coloured with copics and then the panel was distressed with my scissors and I applied my copic marker to the edge. I love the way the ink bled inside, creating a fairly even border around the edge. I wasn't expecting the ink to bleed quite so much. The sentiment was stamped from SU's Autumn Leaves (retired). I've been reaching for that set more and more recently. Have you ever had sets that you haven't touched in years and all of a sudden you can't put them down?
