We had a wonderful response to last weeks challenge to include animals in the design and you can find out who the winners are over on the Fab 'n' Funky Challenge blog Whilst you are there take a look at the new challenge. This weeks theme is set by Pat and is to use a doily in your design.
I got to work with this wonderful little bird house digi called 'Welcome Home' from
I used some pretty papers from Lily Bimble, matted onto grey card and added faux stitching in white pen. I used the doily as a mat behind the fussy cut stamp. I added two computer generated sentiments and some rhinestones and added a bow tied in vintage seam binding.
As a finishing touch I fussy cut some of the flowers from the digi to add to the corners of the card to complete. I then added a layer of stickles iridescent glitter glue to the flowers for a bit of sparkle.
I coloured the image using Spectrum Noir Markers in the following colours
House - IB1, GT1 and then coloured over the whole house with a Sakura Gel glaze Pen in turquoise to give a sheen to it.
Roof - IG1, IG2, IG3
Flowers and Leaves - FS5 FS7, HB1, HB2, HB3, LG1, LG2
We have just had new neighbours move in and I popped the card through their door to welcome them to the street they were delighted with it. They are a lovely young couple and Megan and Richard and Megan was even more thrilled when my hubby told her I had made the card for them.
