Raven in red...

Hi :)

Today I'd like to share a 'Wishing You A Lovely Day' card with a Raven image. I coloured the image with Copics and used the following to embellish the card: die cut butterfly, Mulbery flowers, die cut swirls, flat backed pearls and a lace with ribbon. 

I also made the dimensional envelope for the card.

This time a little bit of stamping...

From time to time I make a stamping card so that I do not loose the skill if that makes sense!

This one was inspired by a photo. The Sun is made using a chalk ink pad and a post it note with a punched out circle and the butterfly has been cut out using Marianne Design Creatables Die Butterfly 2. I have also used grass and flowers acrylic stamps and Versafine Onyx Black ink pad.
