GDT card

This is my GDT card for artbymiran blog challenge #4 - Anything Goes.  I'm very excited as it's my first GDT spot and I adore the images drawn by Mi Ran

Back to the card..........

I've killed 2 birds with one stone and made a much needed thank you card for my Son to give to his Teachers as he is leaving Primary school this year and moving on to high school (aarrrrrrrgghhhhh)

For this card I've used Pondering Pamela coloured with spectrum noir markers and kept the card quite simple to bring out the image more.  I hadn't coloured her before and I wanted to give her a Vintage feel so I've used dark colours throughout:

Colour list

Dies

Susan's Garden - Sunflower
Xcut - Alphabet Die
Memorey Box - Fairytale flower border

Papers

Kraft card stock
Card and other embellishments from my own stock

I've used Susan's Garden Sunflower as the main flowers on the card.  I thought that the dark brown centre already had a Vintage colour and the washed out yellow colour of the faded petals would become a lovely cream.  I didn't use the 'proper' quilling technique for the flowers, I used an embossing tool and my ironing board of all things to give the flowers their shape lol but I still like the results :)

As some of you know I generally make my own templates for my cards and this was no exception.  I get my basic image size and literally fold a piece of A4 paper into shape until I'm happy with the size and style of the card.  So that's how this card turned into an easel card with a front step
