Now on with the new challenge. The theme is You Make me Smile and the twist is to use something that is not from your craft room. Here are a few suggestions, pop tabs, twist ties perhaps even a washer. The image I am using is from My Grafico, what a lovely collection of First Communion digi stamps and if you post a project on Clear it out challenge Blog you might just win the set.
For my card I chose a soft blue base, The fleur dis lis rectangle and regular rectangle spellbinder dies. I wanted a touch of blue behind the image so I cut and embossed it so I could cut the edge off to put on the blue layer. The flower is from the Stampin’up pretties set, I layered three petals, my twist is I used a hat pin that was floating around in my sewing box plus a couple of beads from a box I bought at a yard sale last year. I used prisma colour pencils and odourless mineral spirits to colour the hair. I’m not sure if it shows or not but I watered down some white opal liquid pearls and painted the veil and dress to give it a shimmer.
Thanks for stopping by today and please join us at Clear it Out I would love to see your project.
