There is a new blog challenge site - this one is for Stampin' Up stampers! And their
first challenge is a sketch:
I was lucky enough to be sent a few stamped images from Jan who has just started out as a Stampin' Up demonstrator and I've used one of them on this sketch!
The backing papers are all from the same collection on Funky Daze and I've inked the edges with bright pink ink and then the trusty virtually worn out black! The grosgrain ribbon is from my stash and I added the bow on afterwards (I use a bow maker - so much easier than trying to get the front knot flat and straight!)
I've used a compass to make the shape on the image, which has also been inked and coloured with watercolour pencils and glitter glue.
I think I'll add a sparkly '21' to it too as Jacob's key worker at nursery, Rachel, is 21 on Saturday. And she likes a bit of bling! Oh to be 21 again eh?! I do tell her that I am old enough to be her mother which she thinks is hilarious as I don't feel old enough.. if you see what I mean!
- Backing papers: Funky Daze from Funky Hand
- Image: Stampin' Up from Jan
- Ribbon: From my stash
The ribbon is grosgrain 'Tempting Turquoise' and I've used a card blank which I have shaped with my nesties and added paper from Funky Hand - Dreams Come True. The layered paper is also from the same cd.
The stamp is by Inkadinkado and I've coloured it with watercolour paints, plus some inking around the edges.
The fimo star is made by me and I've had it lying around for ages just wanting to be used! This card will come in rather handy as a few of my friends are expecting!
