I loved the Strawberry Shortcake card I made awhile ago so I did another one but did something a little different.
This is the first time I have ever used brads on a card - 
I found a small pack for $2 and decided to try them. The flower sequins underneath are clear with a pink tinge but they sort of got lost with everything else so I used my Faber Castell Colour Burst textas on the back - the pink dried very vibrant and this matched the other pink in the card. I outlined the hexagon in the same pen.

I am hoping to spend some time learning to do some stamped cards - I have loads of stamps from over the years and they are such a shame to sit idle.
For those who stamp - is it ok to colour with Sharpies? I have noticed we can get a broad range of colours now. I did buy a packet of fine tip pens and they are lovely too - experimenting cheaply incase I dont get the hang of things.
Thankyou again for stopping by and paying me a visit. I appreciate everyones comments and advice :) Hoping to get my AIG and have more things to post soon.
Have a wonderful day :)

Oh so darling in pink, makes me smile.
WoWzA, beautiful!!!
You can use Sharpie's on anything! I hear they're especially good on grungeboard.
My philosophy is, if ya got 'em, use 'em!
oh wow what a fantastic card hev, I love it hun
AWwwwwww! What a pretty way to take a trip down memory lane. I just can smell the strawberry shortcake doll I had as a kid while looking at this. It's so sweet & the brads add an adorable touch. (You'll be hooked on those now! I know I am) :0) I'm not sure if Sharpies are acid free (I asked on the website, but never got a response. But I've used them and anything goes with art! :0)
This is adorable! My Charlotte loves Strawberry Shortcake (since she is Charlotte aux Fraises in France and Quebec!).
