This card is one I made for a child, using a sketch challenge, and I broke the mold and used a digi stamp!!
I ended up printing this image out twice as one corner of the paper bent over the first time through, but this turned out to be advantageous, as I cut the bear out of the 'spoilt' copy and used the balance as a negative stencil to sponge the Tea Stained ink over him. I was not pleased with the result, so sponged some gold ink down his tummy, and then use water colour paints to add some dimension and shading.
The flower was painted with water colours, and then I masked the flower to sponge the sky, which did not work as I wanted, so then I added the clouds which redeemed it somewhat.
This panel was mounted with dimensional tape on to the corrugated card, and then added the spellbinders 'doodles' before mounting the whole on the patch-worked background. .JPG)
This looked flat, so I added the gold kindy glitz which lifted the whole .
I added the sentiment embossed with gold to finish the card.
I don't usually work with quite so much yellow, or quite such a strong yellow, but it was also intended for a colour challenge.... I am not sure that I completed that one successfully, but I gave it a go and stretched myself!

Thank you for calling by - may your day be blessed with much joy.
Maxine, you did a terrific job on the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week! I'm glad you stretch yourself because you really did do a super sweet job on this adorable image. I've just gotten used to using digis too and it can be addictive, especially since you can re-size it. I think you showcased this digi wonderfully and I LOVE your panels, sparkle, corrugated paper and sponging.
ReplyDeleteThanks SO MUCH for joining the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week and I hope you can come out and play with us next week!
