This is the first card i've had chance to use her on, and i must admit i've taken my time with it, as i wanted to get it just right; there is just something about her which makes you want to surround her with pretty things.
I wanted to keep this card fairly simple, not sure if i managed that or not, lol. I created an easel card blank from white cardstock, which i stamped Savannah on. I then decided to colour the background in a nice buttercup colour, i then continued to colour Savannah in with my promarkers. I guess with it being Autumn the colour scheme just came to me, i've been seeing all the beautiful autumnal colours in the leaves on the trees outside, i think it must have got into my subconscious.
After colouring Savannah i decided she needed to be framed, my first thought was a ribbon frame, but that's something i've done alot recently, so i thought that for a change i would use some flowers, afterall no point having them if i never use them :) I altered the colour of them slightly by using my promarkers on them, so they coordinate better with Savannah. I then added a mixture of pearls, gems and brads to the centres of them, and arranged them around the image. I then remembered i had some gorgeous 3d butterfly stickers in my stash that would go well with the colours, so i added one of them.
To complete the card i decided it needed a sentiment of some sorts, i found this box of die cut proverbs in my stash recently and have decided to use them on some of my cards. As i was looking through them i came across the following proverb; 'A fair face may fade, but a beautiful soul lasts forever.' This proverb seemed to fit nicely with the finished card, so that's the one i settled on.
I've used alot more embellishments on this card than i usually do, but i think it's turned out well, i would love to hear what you think? Thanks for visiting my blog, i really do appreciate you taking the time to visit and read my ramblings, and i love reading your comments :)
