I chose Summer Holiday which I have digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending card and die cut with Scalloped Rectangles Die from La-La Land Crafts, before colouring with the following Copics markers:

• skin - E000, E00, E11, E13
• moustache - E33, E35
• shirt/headscarf - C0, C1
• glasses/windows of car - B00
• car - BG11, B13, B15, BG18, E40, E42, E43, E44, C0, C1, C3, C5, C7, Y11, Y13, YR23
• suitcases - V20, V22, V25, R81, R83, R85, Y28, E51, E53, E55, E81, E84, E87

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.

Here is a close up of the colouring:

I then adhered one of the papers from Going Places Paper Pack from La-La Land Crafts on to a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions, before popping up the coloured image with foam tape.

Here is a photo of the paper on the card before the coloured image is attached:

Add Flowers for Let's Craft and Create Challenge #218 on the 5th of April, 2025

 

For this month's challenge at Let's Craft and Create Challenge Blog, we have the optional theme of

Add Flowers

So, here is my card:

When I thought of flowers I thought of Marci with Lilies from La-La Land Crafts. She was used in an album taught by Martha, so I have used Martha's colours from the class.

Here is a close-up of the colouring before she was fussy cut:

I also had the Side Lily Die and Bloom Vase Die from La-La Land Crafts which were both used in the album class - I really need to make the Album!!

I die cut the side lily three times and then coloured the parts with the following Copics markers: RV11, RV13, RV14, RV17, YG03, YG17, YG25, YG67, YR23, YR24.

Here is a photo of the flowers and the paper from Say It with Flowers Paper Pack which was from La-La Land Crafts, but is not available anymore:

I die cut the vase from blue card stock and die cut the word "bloom" from the same blue card stock and twice from white card stock. I layered the three "bloom" pieces together.

To make the card, I adhered the piece of the Say It with Flowers Paper Pack on to a Kraft square card from Envelope Solutions. I then adhered the lilies into the vase and adhered the whole arrangement on to the paper. I added the rest of the leaves and buds - I was going to add some acetate to the vase and make it a shaker, but I ran out of time (next time!!)

I adhered the bloom word art and then popped Marci with foam tape. 

Here is another photo of the finished card:
