Here's my latest card - this is really quite girly not me at all but I'm really pleased with the results.
I've coloured the stamp with promarkers and a pink watercolour pencil as I don't have any skin tone markers. Yet another thing to add to the shopping list!
I've tried my hand at distressing, inking the edges of the papers (which are Pink Petticoat - I LOVE magazine freebies!). I also tried to distress the pink card framing the image - I've not done a great job - and it doesn't show up too well on this photo. Not surprising as I was too lazy to go and find some sandpaper and don't own a fancy distressing tool. Instead I improvised and used a pair of nail clippers!

Cute card and it's always time for cake, lol! I don't have any fancy distressing tools either. I use a little manicure set that came free with a magazine. Thanks for joining us this week with Crafty Cardmakes.
What a darling image. I use Copics E50 - E51 - E53 for just about all my skin tones with R01 under it all for a bit of colour in the cheeks
