May Challenge at Crafty Calendar


Hello, hope you're enjoying a lovely Sunday afternoon...whatever you are doing! This month's challenge is up and running over at Crafty Calendar, our May sponsor is Sheepski Designs


The theme for this month is Distressing.
I chose to use a beautiful image I already owned, Serenity, available HERE. I coloured with Copics and carefully fussy cut, not wanting any white edges. 
The background is created with Distress Oxides and D Is , a few stencils and a bit of stamping and some frantage. I did get a little distressed when I tried to add the glittery distress paste stuff, it's not very old, the lid was securely screwed on but it's gone all dry and crumbly...binned it and won't be buying that again! The sentiment is stamped, I added some bakers twine, flowers and brads, a leaf charm (recycled from an old bracelet) and a metal corner.
 I enjoyed making this, hope you like it!
Please hop over to Crafty Calendar for more inspiration from my lovely teamies and to add your own fabulous creations of course!
Thanks for stopping by
Chris

    Wow! Check out the amazing highlights in her hair, and the clever background details that bring out the color of her hair throughout the creation! The placement of your flowers looks fantastic and so meaningful, with the dreams blooming within your dear dreamer. I must remember that when designing cards - to place the pretty design elements into the image itself. Beautifully done! hugs, de
