The new challenge starts today at Frilly and Funkie and this time I am the hostess and I have chosen a theme called Thing With Wings. Use anything with wings as the focal point on your vintage or shabby chic projects this time. Be it of the animal, fantasy or mechanical variety we want your creativity to take flight!
I have had a couple weeks of Camp Grandma (the July edition - another week to come in August) so my creating time has been limited and I must admit that I wimped out and created a little more simple project for this challenge. I wanted to colour for a change and since I had this sweet image from A Day for Daisies I decided to use it as a focal point for a baby card. The images was coloured with Prismacolors and blended with Gottrick OMS. Some Stardust Stickles were added to the wings.
I used white card stock from Recollections for the blank and then started layering on papers from Maja Designs. The top of two layers were cut on one edge with a Martha Stewart edge punch.
I created the banner and used the punched stars as additional embellishments. The banner pieces are hanging from some burlap string and the whole banner is attached by a couple of mini clothespins that I painted white. I added a strip of lace and a computer generated sentiment that has been inked with Scattered Straw Distress Ink.
I also created some word art in Photoshop and made it into a hidden tag that was inked with Scattered Straw DI and has a little piece of satin ribbon at the top.
I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:
Aurora Wings - Anything with Wings
Crafty Sentiments - Baby
Top Tip Tuesday - Bingo - I used Sparkle (on wings), Sentiment, Ribbon or Twine
Come And Get It - Fairies
Di's Digi Designs - Hand Colored Image
