The card is a 7x7 easel card decorated in craft perfect Luna silver      pearlecent  card stock also Nuvo Water colour card and bright white craft perfect card the decorative paper is from my stash  the topper was stamped with Tonic Studios black Hybrid ink and then gradually  the colour built up and blended out with a water brush until I was happy with the results this image was coloured using the hair/ Skin tones sets of water colour pencils.

The stopper for the easel was created using matching polka dot card and cutting the edge with the scalloped outer edge die from the Beautiful Buckle die set and this was added to the card on 2mm foam pads. And then decorated with stamps from Marmalades world .

Materials to make this card:-

White 7x7 card blank 

Green card stock

Craft perfect  water colour card

Nuvo Water colour pencils Hair/skin tones

Pearced  squares die set

Marmalades world stamp sets 

Tim Holtz stamping platform 

Nuvo Hybrid black ink pad

Nuvo Water brush

Marmalades

Cockle shell layering die set

Sew pretty Have a beautiful day Circle frame die set

Special wishes stamped sentiment from Kit 5

The card is 7x7 with mat & layered and the white layer has had the pierced square  die set applied and then I

  cotton thread has been added  to the design and stitched all the way around the edge.

Then for the backing I stuck with the green and white colours and used the cockle shell die set as a backing for the sentiment which was placed on the Tim Holtz stamping platform and stamped with Nuvo Black Hybrid ink  ,the gorgeous wee teddy was stamped again using the platform but onto water colour card and then coloured using the hair/skin tones pencils and blending the colours out with a water brush and just adding more colour bit by bit, remember it doesn't matter how long it takes to colour it's not a race enjoy what you are doing  I find water colouring very relaxing and as I have said before it's a good place to start as water colouring is very forgiving if you go over the lines just apply a little water with a brush and remove the colour .

The card was then finished off by adding  a gingham bow and natural wooden button just slightly inked with   nuvo brown hybrid ink.  And a matching mini bow to teddy.
