Popcorn with Present Pile

This card is for a 3 year old girl so i made a conscious effort to avoid pearl, jewels etc so as not to put anything on it that could be harmful to a small child. Again i have used an 8x8" card for this one which are ideal for these larger popcorn stamps.

Products used:

• Stamp: Popcorn with present pile
• Papers: DCWV Nana's nursery and Cardstock
• Embellishments: Cars candy, Ribbon Bow
• Coloured with: Prisma pencils
• Tools: Nestabilities, Sizzix Alphabet Dies, Cutlebug Number Dies

I am entering this card for the Crafter Companion Companion June Challenge which is a fab sketch.

Popcorn Reading

Haven't managed to upload anything for a week or so as all the cards I've done have had a lot of mirror card on and i've not figured out a way to successfully photograph them yet without the reflection ruining the pitures.

Decided to try out one of the Popcorn stamps I bought aged ago, i bought about a dozen of them but have only used a couple of them. I tried colouring this one with Prisma Colour Pencils which had worked a lot better than my previous attempts at colouring Popcorn.

Products used:

• Papers - Paper Adventures, HOTP
• Stamped Images - Popcorn the Bear
• Embellishments - Black pearls, Black Grosgrain Ribbon, Satin Edged Organza Ribbon.
• Tools used - Primsa Pencils, Paperstumps (for blending), Nestabilities

I coloured the images using Primsa color pencils and blended using sansador, the image and backing panels and background paper with black card and finished it with the two ribbon and the black pearls.
