I've colored Murray with Copics and Prismas and gave her a glitzy Stickles frame. The card base is Light Kraft Cover Weight cardstock. LOVE this stuff! Oddly enough I colored the image first and then matched the papers. Not my usual order, but it worked out this time. :-) The image and sentiment are both matted with more Light Kraft and I punched the deco edge behind the yellow mat from it also. That's actually a row of hearts, but I just wanted the ends to stick out. The corner embellishment was cut from chipboard first and then covered with another die cut in the Light Kraft. Across the center I attached some Natural Twill Tape and some gorgeous pink and pearl trim. The buttons are tied with Pink and Yellow Baker's Twine.
We'd love to have you play along with our Easter challenge this week. Just make sure your project includes kraft cardstock or a product from the Kraft Outlet.
This is a very special week at The Kraft Journal cause we're welcoming two new DT members, Dorcas and Dawn. I have the pleasure of being their DT Sistah for Mo's Digital Pencil also so it's extra special to me to have them come on board. Make sure you give them a warm welcome. They're going to wow you with their inspiration each week. :-)
