Gothica

Hello folks

Happy Wednesday evening to you all

Here is today's card - 

I began by matting and layering a 6 inch card blank with papers from First Edition's Bird song paper pad. I created a border with two of the papers and a Tonic Dotty Lace border punch and attached to the card as shown.

The image is Saturated Canary's Gothica which sounds very dark but I thought I'd try colouring her with pale pinks and was very pleased with the result. I coloured her with the following Spectrum Noir pens and pencils - 

• hair - GB7, GB10, GB11 and 087
• skin - FS1, TN1, TN2, CR1 and 089
• eyes - JG4
• lips - CR1
• dress - PP1, PP2, PP4 and 041

I created a frame using one of the papers from the pad and Spellbinder's Floral ovals and an oval nestie and attached it to the image. I then attached the topper to the card with foam pads.

I cut several Doohickey daises from scraps of the papers, layered them and put brads in the centre of each flower. I then cut several Tonic Royal ferns, attached them as shown and then added the flowers.

To finish I added two sentiment tags from LOTV's sentiment tags stamp set.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
