Love in the little things

I'm back with a little Sarah Kay card to share with you today, although it wasn't without problems in the creation! The image is coloured with Copics and the papers from my stash, the second lot I tried out, are edged with Sahara Sand Versamagic chalk ink and Platinum Stickles. They are actualy a soft yellow .. .. I still can't get the colours right with the camera. I was stumped when it came to flowers too .. .. I tried several different punched shapes but eventually found these yellow felt flowers and added Marianne diecut stamens. The gold pearls are made with my Waco pearl maker pen, but I had more problems! Originally I had a row of pearls to the right of the image but after accidentally sticking my thumb on half of them, and then redoing and not getting them the same size I decided they didn't look right so scraped them off and put on a piece of ribbon to cover the residual mess! I love my cream pearl maker pen, but the gold ones seem to stay more pointed rather than settling into a beautiful half pearl. I stamped the LOTV text with Tea Leaves Versamagic ink and edged it, and the image, with Magnolia Bud before doing the stickle thing. So at the end of it all, I'm lucky to have a card to share with you at all!

Copic pens I used:
skin tones - E000, 00, 21, 02
hair - E30, 31, 53, 34
chicks and gold tones - Y21, YR23, E33
greens - G20, 21, YG93
pinks - R000, 11, 12, 14

The Dutch Dare Card challenge is for sparkle, glitter and bling - well I have sparkly glitter and the gold pearls for bling.
