Pencil shaped card

Hey!

This month it's Heather Valentin's Eleanor and Pickles' 8th birthday. She has so many gorgeous images to colour in her Colour of Love shop.

Here's a little history about the birth these cute characters.
Late one night in June of 2012, Heather Valentin was on the phone and was drawing and the first imag of Eleanor and Pickles was created - Eleanor and Pickles Book of Spells. The first image of Eleanor by herself was Eleanor Bookworm. 

Now, 8 years later, Eleanor and Pickles make up a large category of images in the Colour of Love Shop. Eleanor and Pickles along with various other character friends, like Tilly the dinosaur, have had many adventures over the past 8 years and Heather continues to draw new of these delightful characters.

I created a card in the shape of a pencil to go with this gorgeous image called "Eleanor and Pickles Back to School". The image is coloured with Promarkers. To create the card I used the following: kraft card base (cut it into a pencil shape), circle die (to create the tip of the pencil), washi tape (to create the pattern on the pencil), paper measuring tape (free from the hardware store), from the off cuts of the card I created 2 little book embellishments, added two circle paperclips to the side of the card and added distress ink along the side of the card and the little books.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Hugs,
Kitty

Cupcake Card

Hey!

Here's a cupcake card I designed to go with this adorable image from Colour of Love. I altered the image with permission of the the creator Heather Valentin. Here you can find the image called Eleanor and Pickles Yummy Sweets with the background. It's available for a special prize as it is Eleanor and Pickles' 8th birthday month.

I coloured the image with Promarkers. The card is created with scraps from my stash. To create this card I didn't use any dies. I just cut everything freehand. Even the cherry on top. I love how it turned out. The corrugated card is the inside of a cardboard box. Love to use that. I added sprinkles to the frosting with red, green and brown gel glitter gel pen.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hugs,

Kitty
