Rain Anya is appropriate, my Tuesday class were going to make this card but because of the bad weather I had to cancel.

I stamped and paper pieced her and then coloured in with copic markers. Slight boob I scanned in the image and printed onto my card before I did the colouring in but we won’t mention that. Also printed a verse onto the card.

It doesn’t show very well on the card but I also heat embossed her little jacket because I wanted it to look like a plastic jacket.

With a versamark pen I coated over the jacket and added embossing powder then heated. Did this three times and it does look like a wet look jacket but the photo doesn’t do it justice. Mat and layered her onto a nestie and add two lines of faux stitching.

Added some beautiful wool to the edge of the card which Patricia bought and she kindly shared some with me (have to try and buy some more because it is gorge).

Punched two large flowers and then fixed a green flower (from my stash) to the middle of the two with a butterfly brad. Coloured the brad with a copic because the colour was wrong. Added liquid pearls to the centre of the flower.

Used a MS punch and a piece of mesh to the edge of the card. I stuck the mesh to the back of the nestie and just left an overhang showing this way it added more dimension to the card.

Wow I just love these stamps from the Greeting Farm I know they have been out for a while but I have only just found them and I am hooked already. Made my first card with Snow Anya and now this one is from the dressy set.

Pictured her in my head as a Spring type girl especially with the hat and so all the colours reflect this. It’s also probably because the weather is so dreadful that I am wishing for Spring already and we haven’t even had Christmas.

Stamped her onto white card stock with Memento tuxedo black, coloured in with Copics and cut out with a nestie. Also stamped lots of little flowers around her and the bee on her hat is a set of little stamps I bought from Tesco’s. From the same set there is a stamp with lots of little swirly dots on it, so used this to match up the image with the butterfly and drew a yellow line through all the dots. Edged her hat with some Sakura glaze and also her shoes. Two tiny little gems were added to her shoes and also the middle of her blouse.

Now the interesting part I stitched lots of little buttons around the edge of the card stock, wasn’t sure how so many would work but they look great.

The flower is made from ribbon and wait for it…. lots of pearly doodles added, as you have already guessed, I just think these are the bees knees. Paper flower was added to the top of the ribbon and an embellishment that looks like a jelly tot added to the centre.

A friend of mine bought this neat little butterfly – it’s a double die cut – and we have all cut out some butterflies. Needlesstosay I didn’t have the right colour so, just got out the copics again and matched up with what I think is a passable match for the card and then added more pearly doodles. The green background paper is a K & Co and the white is ordinary copy paper punched out with the MS around the corner shell punch. Chalked around the edges and also along the line of dots. Put ric rac along the bottom to finish.
