April at Love To Craft

A new month already and the start of a new challenge at Love To Craft. I can't believe that we are a quarter of the way through the year already!

Today I have chosen to share a Just Because card, good to have in stock for those odd occasions when you want to make contact without a specific reason.



Materials used: 
Mari Ko Creations - Just Because
12.5cm square card blank
Memento ink pad -  Lady Bug
X-Press It card
black glass seed beads
Copic pens:
flowers: R29, R39, R59, R89
leaves: G21, G24, YG63, G94, G99

The image has been printed once as a complete image and twice more cropped to just the bottom flowers. All images are coloured and fussy cut. The two cropped images are used to decoupage with. The whole fussy cut image is attached to the front of the card blank that has been coloured around the edges with Lady Bug ink using a foam applicator for the darker shades and a stencil brush for the lighter colour. Finally the seed beads are used to create the centre of the flowers.

You have a whole month to create in and we are an anything goes challenge, any theme any craft. For more inspiration take a look at the Love To Craft Challenge Blog.

Thanks for dropping in. Take care.
