Anyway, enough of the waffle, here's my card for this week's Sweet Stampin' Challenge which is 'dies and/or punches'. I used a ginormous Prima Princess stamp, I bought it online and didn't realise how big it was, but it is beautiful and lovely to colour! I stamped her on kraft card and used my Polychromo pencils to colour. The DP is from a Heartfelt pad, I carefully cut around the flower border with a craft knife insert the image behind it, then added some more of the flowers cut from the dp and attached with sticky pads for a bit of dimension. There's a die cut flourish, 2 punched butterflies, a couple of feathers and a little wooden heart.
As always, there's some beautiful creations from my lovely teamies to be seen by clicking here and of course we'd love to see what you make of this lovely easy challenge.
Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend.
Chris

Hi Chris, your card wasn't here when I popped over before But what a pretty one it is...great make with the image.xxhttp://lilpatchofcraftyfriends.blogspot.com.au/
ReplyDeleteStunning card Chris! Love the stamping on kraft and your colouring is fabulous! How gorgeous that you had such a fab outing in London with your daughter too. My Swedish pal just saw Funky Boots in Sweden too and was raving about it. I'll have to watch for whether that reaches our shores too. Not for a while I'd guess. I've been playing with my lovely stamp you sent. Hoping to get it coloured up and on a card very soon. (New stamp tool to play with too, so spent ages just stamping, no colouring! LOL) Big hugs, Wends xoxo
ReplyDeleteWow Chris, this is just breathtaking!! Your image is incredible, the colouring is beyond amazing! I zoomed right in and I can see the amazing blending of the colours on every petal and strand of hair!! The faux stitching is a lovely way to frame the panels, and the genuine feather is a divine addition to this magical card!! happy weekend, sending hugs :)

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteoh how gorgeous is this.
That image is perfectly coloured, and it looks really fab on Kraft card.
Love your wonderful design, and the beautiful flowers, and the fab use of the paper pad.
Stunning just so stunning.
I too would be shattered if I had done all that in one day, but who am I kidding I don't think my body would be able to do half of it.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
fogot to say I too cannot understand modern art either.
ReplyDeleteI love the paintings that you can understand and I am always amazed at the lovely shine they get on the clothes they paint just like it was a piece of real silk or satin.
There is one such painting in the National Gallery called Lady Jane Grey which I stared at for ages as it was so perfect.
Belated Birthday wishes Chris.
ReplyDeleteReally stunning card, everything is just so perfect.
It also has some lovely daisies on, nudge nudge.
