A Quick Card for Maria and a few Challenges..

Here's a quick card to send to my Daughter Maria, who's having an op today...the same one I had years ago, that ended up with me making cards! I'm also going to add it to Spyder's Birthday Challenge, (use one of my digi's) scroll down or go here to join in. I've used four of my digi's in this card. There's two Hedgie with his Sunflower, Kola and Hedgie with his watering can, plus The Tall Toadstool. The papers are oldies, by Trimcraft. I wanted to use up some scraps and the pink of the flowers matched Hedgie's flower...in the living room...but later I noticed they didn't. 

I've used a 'Sparkling' pearl card from my local Craft Store, called Aurelie (on sale £2 for ten 240gsm sheets instead of £5) I like using pearl card because you can changed the colour of it so easily using your Promarkers. (or any alcohol ink pens)  I used a Hot Pink on the sentiments and as a layer to edge the backing papers and because it's on pearl it doesn't bleed through and sort of does match the flowers...or seems too.

The font is a freebie it's called  Kristen ITC

 A belly band keeps the gatefold card closed for posting.  Inside I've added a scene using my PGN digi's over some clouds backing paper, (which saved on colouring the sky!) everything else was coloured with Promakers.I've also added leaves and grass also coloured with Promarkers. Kola is on  a mini card spring, so he wobbles when 'pinged' I've had these for years too! (Dovecraft) I knew they'd come in handy one day!

That's it for now, thank you for stopping by! I hope to add this to some...
