WOJ sketch

There is a fab sketch by Donalda over at the WOJ challenge this week. I haven't done much card making this week, struggling to get my DT cards done, let alone ones for pleasure or commissions. Ellie is antibiotics and Beth is obsessed with the potty (a good thing I know, and at least it has taken her mind off the Snowman!!) so I am struggling keeping my focus or motivation. Having looked at this card there are so many things I would do differently with it if I could take it to bits!

I watercoloured the image and distressed the edges in Tattered rose and Broken China. I had this pad of papers out and I do love it, it goes so well with Elizabeth bell stamps. I added some leaves and punched flowers that have been glimmer misted (hubby was fascinated by what it was so got me some. I do wonder about how his mind works at times!) with tattered rose. Sadly it doesn't really show up on the photo. I added a couple swirl stamps and some adhesive gems to them.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): WOJ Kneeling Willow; freebie swirl
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: K and Co
Embellishments: punched flowers and leaves, adhesive gems and ribbon from stash
