A Gem of a Challenge 15.....

Morning Everyone,
Hope your all well???....Today see's the start of another challenge over at A Gem of a Challenge,it's my turn to host again and I have the following theme for you all.......

BUTTONS,BRADS,BEADS,BOWS...use one,two,three or if your feeling really adventurous all of them.......

Here is my card.....


I've used a circle base cut from kraft card.....The blue and yellow are both from the slug's and Snail's digi papers from Pink Gem Designs cut out with my nesties....I've used Andy with Balloon again from Pink Gem Designs he's been coloured with promarkers the colours used were.....

Skin - Dusky Pink,Blush,Pastel pink,Ivory
Hair - Sandstone,Caramel,Cinnamon,Cocoa,Chestnut
Top - Buttercup,Saffron
Trousers - Denim,Blue Pearl,Arctic Blue
Shoes - Sandstone,Caramel
Balloons - Cardinal Red,Berry Red 

I then cut Andy out,stamped two more balloons coloured then cut them out leaving the hand on one of them,fixed them together and then fixed it to Andy's hand so it look's like he has three balloons instead of one,I've also put glossy accents over them....


I've then used some beads that have letters on to spell Birthday boy......And  finished off with a bow to the side...Anyway that's it from me for now,will be back a bit later with something....Enjoy the weekend....
