Pink & Brown @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Hi again, and welcome to my card for the new challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers
this weeks theme is
Pink & Brown
and for that challenge I decorated a little giftbag.

Our sponsor for this challenge is
Visible image
where I’ve got the lovely stampset I’ve used for the giftbag from.

The set I used is called
Tala Catching Dreams
I masked the different stamps together to make the image I used on the giftbag.

ProMarkers used to colour the image:
Skin: Ivory, Dusky Pink, Tan, Sunkissed Pink
Hair: Gold, Terracotta, Walnut
Dress: Cocoa, Tan, Fuchsia Pink, Dusky Rose, Blossom
Feathers: Warm Grey 1, 3 and 5
Dreamcatcher, Bow and arrows: Cocoa, Tan, Sandstone
Blender

Around the image I used a little Frantage Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel.
On the squares on the border around the image I put on pink and brown halfpearls, and of course I had to put pearls on the dress!
To match the image I made a little dreamcatcher to decorate the bag with.


The stampset from Visible Image came in a very handy little plasticbag, with a hanger on top…

…on the back of the plastisheet the stamps are attached to I fastened the masks I cut out.
Keeping them like this, I do not have to stamp up new masks and do all the cutting next time I’ll use them.
(can you see I was in a «hurry» opening the stampset???)

I hope you like my little giftbag, and that I have inspired you, even just a little, to join the
Pink & Brown-challenge
at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

I’ll join these challenges with my giftbag:

My Besties

Baby/ Kids

Please visit My Besties, to see what the rest of the DT have made - wonderful, inspiring projects, I promise you 😊

The minute I saw this image I knew I wanted to make it into a wallhanging for a childrensroom. With it I’ve used a «Good night»-rhyme/ -song.
Everything is mounted on a very thick cardboardbase.
The backgroundpaper, I think, is from Papirdesign. The rhyme is printed on a piece of paper from MajaDesign. 
Underneath the image I put some tags, made with Magnolia DooHickeys. The swirls are also Magnolia DooHickeys.
The hearts are punched with a Martha Stewart punch.
I also used soe ribbons and laces. To the seambindingribbonbow I attached a few charms.
On the paperedges I used DistressInk WalnutStain.
-And of course I had to put on some pearls, and a little cheesecloth under the image

My son is a confirmand this year, so I have a few of this cards to make - both for boys and girls…

The image on this card is one of Sherri Baldys My Besties. Isn’t it adorable, and just perfect for a girls card. This one is coloured with ProMarkers, in turquoise-tones to match the papers from Papirdesign.
I’ve used Martha Stewarts Eyelet Lace PATP-set on some of the panels. To make the round panel behind the image I first cut a circle out of the DP, the used the cornerpunch around it. The paperedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.


On the inside I used papers from Papirdesign again, and the same PATP-set for the greetingpanels. The text is a stamp from Papirdesign.
