the Icecream page

This page was created with this cute digi from my Besties in mind.  The bright colours in the photos were my colour inspiration for this layout
the digi was coloured with polychromos pencils and fussy cut before adhering to the background
The border was cut using a creative memories cutting plate as were the pink and yellow for my journalling box. This colourful cardstock has been in my stash for quite a while and was just what this page needed.
Everything was adhered to a yellow card keeping the colour scheme simple mostly yellow and pink
the sunflowers are from a stamp set that was stamped in multiples and coloured with staedtler triplus pens the extra icecream cones were also from a stamp set and the one on the far left below the digi is because my 6yr old granddaughter told me I needed a cute little icecream cone.

dolls house

https://www.facebook.com/groups/951431751563289/

this little ragdoll was drawn and coloured by me first time I have used her.  I felt she was ideal for a dolls house card.
The fairy pad is a digi amd the f;ower pot with the birds hous is a rubber stamp from my stash all were coloured with spectrum noir and fussy cut
the fairy pad is adhered with glue to the green background
the rag doll and the flower pot were then adhered to this with foam dots to lift them a little from the page the ribbon and the birds were just taken from my stash. I kindy glitzed everything probably went overboard again
the ribbon and green card were adhered with double sided tape to a card blank.
hope you like my little cutie
