LIL PATCH OF CRAFTY FRIENDS #186 -- SPONSORED BY THE PAPER SHELTER -- JULY 17, 2022

Hello friends, and welcome back to my blog!  I apologize for the lateness of today's post...I thought I had it done, only to realize I didn't finish it.  But here it is now, today is the start of a new Anything Goes challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, and we are being sponsored by:

**Sponsor**


Prize: 3 Images

We received the pretty Ellie image to work with, and here is my card:


I love that The Paper Shelter gives you a paper, and a colored version of the image included with the black and white image.  They make it so easy to create a pretty card when you may be short on time or lacking some mojo.  I have to admit, it does kinda feel like cheating for me to use these things. 😞 I used the Silhouette Design Studio program to size the elements, then printed and cut them out, and assembled my A2 sized card.  I used olive green cardstock as a matting layer behind the patterned paper, and I also used it for die cutting the sentiment, which comes from the Hello Hobby die set from Walmart.  I cut it 5 times and stacked them up for dimension.  To add some pizzazz to this simple card, I used the clear Wink of Stella brush pen to add shimmer to the sentiment and the mat layer, as well as to the spots on the mushroom, to the butterfly, and to Ellie's wings.  This picture may show that shimmer more:


I adhered the green mat layer and the patterned paper down flat, while popping the image up with foam tape.

  1. Don't feel sad for using the pre-coloured image. It isn't cheating. If I am using a digital image I always use the pre-coloured. It gives more time to spend on the rest of the creation. I love your 'Ellie' especially as my granddaughter is called Ellie.
