A CARD FOR GRAN

Last week a friend asked me to make a card for her son to give to his Grandma for her birthday at the end of May, and when I saw this freebie image from Mo Manning this past weekend, I knew that I'd use it for the card.


The image is called "Thanks" and you can find it in Mo's Digital pencil store.

I used Copics as the colouring medium, and a white gel pen for some highlights.  Here is a closer look at that sweet little image:


To create my card I used the following from my stash:

white CS card base
pale blue CS card mats
a scrap of blue floral DP
two narrow satin ribbons and bows
three mini paper flowers with flatback pearl centres
The sentiment is a peel-off.

I purposely kept the style of the card rather CAS, so that I can enter it into Bronte and Bella's challenge #184, which calls for a CAS card with a Mo image.

I would also like to add it to the following challenges:
BEARLY MINE, ##86, LUCKY DIP (RIBBON. FLOWERS.PEARLS)
