PAPERTAKE WEEKLY CHALLENGE SKETCH NO. 26

Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying your Sunday! The weather is a little better compared to yesterday, at least the sun is shining! I have one post today, and this is for Papertake Weekly Challenge - Sketch No. 26. I have used a stamp from Sugar Nellies Manga Collection, and this beauty is called Manga Fairy, and she has been coloured with Sakura Gel Pens. The image has been cut out and layered with foam pads. The backing papers are from a Basic Grey paper pad called Eskimo Kisses. The half circles were cut using my Cricut. The card has been finished off with a stamped sentiment, a strip of pink ribbon, and some silver gems - all from my craft stash. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by, and hope you have a wonderful day! Happy Crafting X
