katiedrewcards: Fable Friends

How cute is this little Peter Rabbit lookalike?

Balmy blue is fast becoming my favourite colour and it was the perfect choice for this card. I had resisted getting any of the Stampin' Up! blends markers, partly because I have a good range of pro markers and partly because I didn't know which colours to go for and at £4.25 each I knew I would be starting small! Balmy blue blends are now available so I decided to take the plunge and purchase the duo along with the Crumb cake duo and Ivory.

I'm so glad I did, colouring this little rabbit was so much fun and the pens really do blend beautifully. I had heard there could be problems with bleed but i think the trick is a really light touch, adding more layers of colour where a darker shade is needed.

The new rectangle stitched framelits are really clever as they stitch on the outside as well as the inside of the cut edge. If you look closely at the white image panel, it sits within rather than on top of the blue layer. By cutting out that piece the blue has a stitch effect on both the outer and inner edge.

To add texture to the card, I have included a little Sahara Sand button with a linen thread bow.

I think next I will make a card using the sweet little 'Jemima Puddle duck' duck and ducklings stamps, also from Fable Friends, now what colour blends will I need for that one?...
