Its Friday, and that means another fabulous
Totally Papercrafts challenge .. .and this time we are playing
bingo!!
We are sponsored this week by the lovely Jodie at
Bugaboo Digi Stamps and one lucky entrant will have a choice of 7 digi images :-)
As I like to be different I went for a diagonal line, choosing gems, flowers and punches/dies. I stamped this Sugar Nellie Simply Sassy,
Spread your Wings, onto kraft paper and coloured her using my prisma pencils. I do like kraft and love the effect when you colour onto it. I stamped round the edges of the image using a prima stamp and sepia ink. The dp is Magnolia and I painted the edges with of whirte acrylic paint and then added a lace stamp, again stamped in sepia. The flowers and bird cage are Tin Holtz dies. I stamped a text stamp over the flowers and added some purple ink to them, before scrunching up. Finally I added gems to their centres. The bird cage is made from grungeboard which I painted with TH picket fence crackle paint, and then scruffed up a bit with vintage photo ink. I added some gingham ribbon and some lace that I stained using the teapot and stewed tea!!! And some flate backed gems.
Now it just needs a sentiment ... it is for a friend's daughter who is finally flying the nest and renting her own flat ... scarry for her, Mum seems quite pleased LOL!!!
And before I go ... don't forget today is the start of
Sugar Nellie's Carnival of colour ...18 new stamps are released and they are gorgeous ... trust me!!!! I have been saving my pennies for it!!
