Here is what I have made - 

I used a gorgeous image from Star Stampz and coloured her with my Rangers Distress Markers and a thin koy water brush. 

The papers are both from 'Limited Edition' paper pads and mounted on pink card.

I used my silhouette to cut the topper, leaves, flowers and swirls.

A thin pink ink pen was used to add the faux stitching around the topper and the top paper layer. 

This was finished off with dark teal pearls which match the colour of the teapot in the image. 

I would like to enter my make into the following challenges -

I chose to use a happy cat image, which I love. There are a few cat images that SLS lines have produced and I have used them all. 

Here is what I have made for Challenge #119 BLING BLING sponsored by SLS Lines

The shapes were cut on my Silhouette Cameo, out of a craft works cards paper pad. 

The image was coloured with Faber Castell coloured pencils.

The bling bling is loads of blue flat backed gems.
