WOJ challenge - Katharina's sketch

Katharina has done a fabulous sketch for this week's WOJ challenge.


I love Willow with her umbrella and have decided to go for a lilac theme this week (still using up those papers so a bit of an iffy background!). Distressing is my favourite technique at the mo, so lots of it here. I used distress inks round the image and papermania ones round the papers and cardstock. The scallop edge is cut using my Stampin up punch, and Willow using my nesties (where would I be without them?!).

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Willow with Umbrella, sentiment Penny Black
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: K and Co
Embellishments: ribbons from stash, tag cut using Sizzix di
