Hello everyone,
I know it's a very British thing to drone on about the weather but I must say it is truly rotten today........no gardening equals more craft time though so I suppose it has advantages then :)
A card for you all today, I don't often use my patterned paper stash but in this case I quite liked the idea of making Dina's girl blend in with the background but still stand out.....if that makes sense? I love this stamp, I think she has a certain melancholy about her that's endearing.
I am entering this into the following challenges:
The Mixed Media Monthly, May Flowers
Stamping Sensations, Flower Power
City Crafter, Focus on Flower(s)
Take It,Make It, Take A Stamp (Anything Goes)
Inspiration Destination, Anything Goes
Decoart paints (the flowers are stamped on and cut from a Gelli print), Copics, Distress Inks, Stickles. The stamps are: Dina Wakley, Tim Holtz, Dylusions and Carabelle.
Hope you like it

Beautiful,your image blends in perfectly.xxx
ReplyDeleteBlending in yet standing out at the same time makes perfect sense to me. We crafty ones have a 7th sense to see what stands out yet is blending in to the non-crafties. I know you know what I mean. LoL She's a fun image and your painting of her is marvelous.
ReplyDeletefab, she really does pop out from the background, another masterpiece Donna x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous card!! Thanks so much for playing along at CCCB!!
ReplyDeleteShe looks wonderful on top of the patterned paper, Donna.
