Pop It Up With Southern Girls Challenge

This fortnight at Southern Girls the theme is about popping things off your projects.
I went for the obvious and popped the image and sentiment up with foam strips.
The image is called "Baby Elf" and is from this challenges sponsor Julia Spiri



I gave the promarkers a break this time and used my copic markers instead, because I have more greens and browns in my copic collection.

I used the sketch from "Feeling Sketchy"
The sentiment is from Hero Arts and I bought it about 8 years ago  and can't for the life of me remember the name of it but it has loads of "Thinking of You" stamps in it.
Thanks loads for dropping by

Wish Big at Bizzy Becs

Hi, I am here to today to share my Bizzy Bec's DT project with you.

For this card I aimed to make a quick and easy shaker card,  ummmmmm, so didn't turn out that way.
I will share a tip with you that I learnt this week as I decided to change.  DO NOT use mono glue or Tacky glue for shaker cards.  It does not dry properly and remains sticky or tacky.  So your sequins will stick to any of the mono or tacky glue that has slipped out from the layers.

II ended up taking my card to pieces and salvaging the image to start again.

Here is the finished card....

All the items I used that are available from Bec's are pre-order.
Product from Bizzy Bec's with links.....

I coloured my image with Letraset Promarkers.
