A Mia and Bosko card for a couple of Challenges

Another card from me today, probably the last but who knows...I seem to be on a bit of a roll today!
I am entering this card into 2 Challenges. It is my first time taking part in both of them.
The first is Cupcake Craft Challenge and the theme for Challenge 73 is 'Going Girly'. I just had to use Mia and Bosko from Jane's Doodles Designs for my image as she is just so cute and definitely very girly.
I coloured her in with Promarkers to match this Papermania backing paper which was lurking in my scraps folder. I have been trying to use only scraps for my cards recently. To be honest, it makes the whole choosing process much quicker as there is a lot less stash to look through and I have some lovely scraps that I had completely forgotten about!

I used the sketch from CPS for the card layout. I really like the sketches for this Challenge as they are really nice and easy to follow. I think the simplicity of this sketch really suits the image.


I used strips of Inspire me papers which I embossed to layer the image on and stamped a Hero Arts sentiment on the bottomm strip. The flower was from Lewis and I sewed a button from my stash onto it.
I have made a couple more cards today which I will share with you over the coming days.
I am planning on doing a bit of colouring in tonight so I will have lots of images to play with next time I sit down to craft :-)
