Groovi Birthday card

I saw a card on Pinterest? made using a particular Groovi plate and loved the effect the creator had achieved.   I ordered the plate and had a go myself and this is my first attempt.

It ended up being an 8"x 8" card so I had to order some more card blanks.  I don't do 8 x 8's very often.  At least they won't be wasted as you can cut them down.

I used my Prismacolour pencils for the colouring. They are softer than the Faber Castell pencils and therefore better when colouring small areas where using a spreading medium can be tricky and messy if not careful.   Perhaps you don't achieve such a sharp colour but a softer effect can look pleasing.

The plates I  used were:

GRO -WO - 40538-15 for the outside and inside squares.

GRO - FL  - 40633-15 for the two flower designs.                                     

GRO -WO - 40060-09 for the words.
