Birthday Embrace

In complete contast to yesterday's ultra simple one layer cards, I've used loads of layers and papers on this one. The adorable image is 'Embrace' by Penny Black, which I coloured with watercolour pencils to match the 'Quite Contrary' papers by My Mind's Eye. I added a Cuddly Buddly sentiment, a couple of paper flowers, some organza ribbon, and used my EK Success 'Scalloped Diamonds' punch on the strip across the middle.


This is actually an easel card...I used more of the MME papers on the bottom part, and a sentiment from the CCSR set by Papermania, leaving room to write my message...here's a view from the side:
