I had a lot of fun creating this card using lots of layers and some decoupage printed from a CDrom in my stash - I chose Aqua & Rose as my colour theme as those colours are in the decoupage so I matched to them - the Aqua layer is part of a Stamp Set Packaging was way too pretty to put in the bin and I love to be frugal

'Shopping Essentials' - Phoebe - Bee crafty

Hiya and welcome to my Post for Bee Crafty

This week I have made a card for my littlest Daughter reBecca as its her 7th Birthday in a few week's she may only be young but she is already a shopping diva who knows exactly what she wants lol she has more handbags than I do

I have chosen to colour FASHINettes - Phoebe this week her hair is a lot like reBecca's all long and wavy

I coloured Phoebe using my big collection of alcohol markers - she took best part of a day to colour but I loved every minute

I chose a pretty backing paper which I colour matched with my markers - thats the joy of having a big collection being able to colour match to pretty much any paper i choose - the Shopping List was created using the packaging from some stickers I got online last week it was too nice to throw away I stuck some washi tape across the bottom to hide the brand info. The writing is my own messy writing but I quite like how it turned out

I also used the front half of a shaped cardblank to create the layer behind the shopping list - which I stamped onto using 'Yuletide - Holly Swirl', 'Beautanicals - Dandelion' and the tiny butterfly from 'The Village - Elm Road' - I added a sentiment 'Happy Birthday' which I mounted onto a panel that I had covered using the same washi tape as earlier. The punched edge on the Mirror Board is from Martha Stewart.

I hope I have inspired you today to mix up your crafting materials with a few things you might not normally use
