For this post I chose to work with a gorgeous image called Avery with Heart Box. It is just perfect for a card to a loved one. You can get your own copy of the image on the Paper Nest Dolls Etsy Shop.
I printed the image onto some white cardstock and painted it with copic markers. Then I did my best to cut it out and colored the edges with a black marker to cover up any imperfections from cutting. Painting the edges in black is really a good idea and it makes the image look more finished.
I made the card thinking I would have a tall card with the opening to the right and therefor I put my background paper that way. Eventually I realized it would look much better if I turned the card to the side. Unfortunately the hearts on the background paper was not turned the right way anymore, but I guess I'll just have to accept that. :)
When I had adhered the image to the finished card I used Glossy Accent to her eyes to give them some shine. I also used red and pink Stickles to the heart, you can't leave out the glitter right? ;)
I hope you enjoyed the card I made and be sure to visit this blog again to see more cards from the other talented girls on the team.
