Hello friends, and welcome back to my blog! The challenge starting today at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends is being sponsored by:
**Exclusive Sponsor**
Prize ~ 3 Images
We were all given the lovely Autumn Breeze set to create with, and here is my project:
Now, the really nice thing about The Paper Shelter sets is that you receive not only the black and white digital image, you also get a wonderful pre-colored version of the image, and a stunning coordinating paper to go with it! As tempted as I was to use the pre-colored version, I decided I would be brave and color it myself. Also, instead of printing everything out on white, I changed it up and used this light kraft colored cardstock that I also used on these cards here. To stretch myself even further, I used colored pencils as my coloring medium, which I don't often do. Using the pre-colored version as inspiration for shading, I came up with this, and I love it! I have been very inspired lately by seeing purples used in fall cards, so I chose to use purples and greens for her dress. A Sakura gold Gelly Roll pen was used to add accents to her dress and tights:
To die cut the image, I used Oblong Doily Frames by Darice, gluing the frame flat to the patterned paper (which is the one that came with the image), and popping up the image oval piece on foam tape. After die cutting the pieces, I dry embossed the frame, and then added either Brushed Corduroy or Frayed Burlap oxide ink to the decorative openings in the die. Wink of Stella clear brush pen was also added to these areas. You can see a bit of that in this next photo. To make the image panel match, I inked around the edges also. I don't really care for the yellow edge it left around the image though. 😬
You can also see the shimmer I added to this Honey Bee Stamps Bitty Buzzwords die using a gold Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen. Does anyone else still use these? I have a bunch of them in different colors that I got on sale at Michael's years ago, but I never have much luck using them without making a mess. 😦 OH, I almost forgot...I added lots of splatter to the patterned paper with the oxide inks before I added it to the brown cardstock layer. I thought that was needed to help differentiate the patterned paper from the kraft card base.
