CRAFT challenge GDT


I was honoured to be asked to stay on as GDT for the month of September, and we have a fab challenge for you this week ...




and some great sponsors ...


Some Odd Girl






I used this cutie from Some Odd Girl, Kiss a Prince Tia, and coloured her with copics before cutting her out.  The castle stamp is from Paper Artsy and is called Crowns and Castles 4, and again coloured in copics, before being cut out.  The dp is Basic Grey Eva, and I used my Tim Hotlz Iron fence die to create the crenallated bit behind the castle.  It was distressed with a bit of walnut stain ink to age it a bit.  I popped the castle onto foam pads before adding it.  Tia is also on foam pads, popped onto  of the castle.  The sentiment is from Whimsy and I used their ticket die to cut it out.

And an arty view showing the dimension!!

Challenges:
Dream Valley - Something old and something new (old papers, new stamps)
Papertake Weekly - anything goes
Divas by Design - friendship
My Mum's Craft Shop - anything goes
 Simon Says Stamp - put a stamp on it

Hi Cathy, its a gorgeous card and love your images!

I take it the card is to go to a friend, otherwise I'm not quite sure how it fits in with our theme at the Divas this week of 'friendship'?

Thanks for sharing with us over at the Divas.
