Here is what you could win...

Elizabeth Craft Designs:

Tombow:
Dual Brush Pen Set, 10 Retro

Tombow will anounce a winner on Monday 21st April, at 3.30pm EST.

I'd like to show you a card I made using ECD's 'Bird and Branches' peel-off stickers, placed on watercolour paper, and coloured with Tombow Dual Brush Pens from the Primary set.
I scribbled with my markers onto the Tombow Blending Palette, then used a fine water brush to lift up the colour to paint with.
 Once dry, I cut out the peel-offs and adhered them with sticky foam pads.

Tombow kindly provided me with the following:

And here's the rest of the card. I created a background for the bird, and frame for the opposite page, by embossing Blue Iridescent Shimmer Sheetz with ECD's Feather embossing folder. I also cut out a couple of the embossed feathers for the bottom left-hand corner.

 I also used  ECD's Happy Birthday die, and a larger partial flower peel-off sticker from the 'Jackie's Dolls in Oval' set.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my card!
Next up in the blog hop is Jennie Garcia! Do pop along and see her creation!

    I hadn't seen the accordion circle card before. It's going on my shopping list. The card is so pretty. The bird is beautiful. He looks like a stained-glass window. Love the veins around the circle. The embossed feathers really add to the design. Great job.
