Marie Curie Create a Card for Cancer Care Appeal

Hi. Here are some more A6 cards I've done for the Marie Curie Create a Card for Cancer Care Appeal. Again, I've done fairly simple cards but hopefully the detail is in the colouring in! This first card is another one of my new Forever Friends stamps which I coloured in with watercolour pencils. I layered the image on a couple of colours of assorted cardstock. The background paper is from the Retro stack by DCWV and the little sentiment is by Pink Petticoat and I cut it out with a tiny scalloped oval nesty.

Crafty stash used: Stamp (Forever Friends); Watercolour pencils; Assorted cardstock; Nesties; Paper- Retro stack (DCWV); Sentiment (Pink Petticoat)This second card is using a Changito Monkey stamp which I love! I coloured in with watercolour pencils and cut out with scalloped rectangle nesties. I added some doodling around the edges before mounting on aqua card. The brown background is run through my Big Shot using the Spots and Dots embossing folder and then mounted on aqua cardstock. I finished with a matching strip of card.

Crafty stash used: Stamp (Stampendous); Watercolour pencils; Nesties; Spots and Dots embossing folder (Cuttlebug); Assorted cardstock; Fine black linerThis last card was done using another new stamp by Magenta. I haven't seen this one around and got it on a trip to New York. I coloured the stamp in using watercolour pencils and added highlights with Crystal Stickles. I then cut the whole image into 3 separate pieces and mounted on peach and brown card. The background paper is from the Retro stack by DCWV and is again mounted on peach card.
