I saw this is the September ' Craft Stamper' magazine and decided to do my own twist on the design.
Sis is an avid knitter so thought this would be ideal for her.
This is my 1st go using promarkers.
What I didn't appreciate was that if you use coloured card stock it changes the colours so the green circle I had originally planned to use (sis loves green) got disgarded and replaced with cream which I actually think looks better.
Card is green brazill card stock embossed with a flower design. The backing paper is handdrawn and coloured to match the flowers on the girls dress.(the same technique used in the magazine).
Then I added a strip of knitting using basket weave pattern for the embellishment and a wool bow.
Promarkers used were peargreen, blossom, and antique pink. Stamp is Toodles and Binks Play time child knitting.
I don't do cards!

for a girl who doesn't do cards you've done an awfully great job Mrs. A. Very sweet customizations!
Ha, you are funny - beautiful job on a card that doesn't exist, Mrs A. and you are right about Promarkers. LOTV have several great videos on their site (not long waffling ones)on using Promakers and always found it a really great help,
