Good morning, a definite feel of autumn here now- our lovely warm, dry spell has come to an end- yesterday it rained all day- still not cold though, just not warm enough to sit outside any more, I can promise you I made the most of it while it lasted, a real bonus in October.
Today see's the start of a new challenge at Crafty Catz, sponsored this week by
Prize - 2 images from store
Our lovely host this week is Ginny and her optional theme is MONOCHROME- one of my favourites!
The team were given some lovely sponsor images to use, I chose Roses
I printed the digi onto a scrap of DP that had a watercolour effect to it, then added shading with Copic markers.
I cut the image out and added it to the previously made background which is distress inks blended onto white card, a little subtle stencilling using a chicken wire stencil and some stamped bookprint. I flicked some gold colour glimmer spray over the top of the completed panel, I've given up trying to unblock the spray nozzle so I used a paintbrush to flick it on with!
Hop over to Crafty Catz to check out the inspiration from my lovely teamies, then why not join in and share a beautiful creation of your own- remember the theme is an option- anything goes at Crafty Catz.
Thanks for visiting, have a lovely day.
Chris

We had a lovely dry day yesterday. We've had rain all night and all day! another flood warning in place until 8.00 pm tonight.
So very beautiful Chris, I love the background behind the roses, the colour, [ my favourite] the roses are coloured beautifully, and I love the gentle splattering in gold, such a gorgeous card..

Really pretty card. Love the yellows and the gorgeous frame you added to it Chris. We still have scaffolding in the back garden so feel like I have missed a lot of the summer this year unfortunately as it is parked in my sunny spot!
ReplyDeleteLove the added copic coloring to the digi image. Your background that you created is wonderful. Thanks for playing over at The Flower Challenge.

Your roses are beautifully colored and your fussy cutting impressive! I too love monochromatic color schemes, and your yellows are like the last nod to warm weather as we in the northern hemisphere head into fall. Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous card with us at The Flower Challenge!
