Angelica & Friends - Mariella

It's the turn of Mariella today, she has such a pretty name don't you think?  Once again I coloured her with my Spectrum Noirs, I'm trying to build up my confidence to use these pens more often.  I think it's the hair that I find most daunting.

7 x 7 card

Backing paper printed from the cd-rom onto Satin Finish printer paper from Crafter's Companion (highly recommended), inked around the edges with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink.

Image stamped onto Neenah card using Memento ink.

A Crafts Too die was used to cut the mat the image is sat on and the sentiment mat.  These were cut from Core'dinations card.  The sentiment is Lili Of The Valley.

I embossed some card from PaperMill using a Beatrix Potter embossing folder and once again inked around the edges.

The flowers were created using Die'sire Sunflower quilling die.

Finally, ribbon from Create & Craft was added to the card.
