Guest Design for C.R.A.F.T. Challenge


Good morning, I was delighted to be invited to Guest Design for this fortnight's challenge at C.R.A.F.T. thank you ladies.

The theme is Back to School or Anything Goes sponsored by Sheepski Designs

Not needing any Back to School cards I went for the Anything Goes option  using the first Sheepski image I owned, I've coloured this beauty (Butterfly Hair) so many times and still enjoy doing the process. I printed and masked the image, added the stencilling and some splatters, coloured her up with my Copics using sepia tones. I added a stamped sentiment and a few tiny gold gems to finish. 

Please check out the CRAFT Challenge Blog for some lovely inspiration from the Design Team.
Thanks for stopping by, have a good day

Beautifully crafted — your sepia‑toned coloring on Butterfly Hair is absolutely stunning, and the way you masked the image before adding the soft stenciling gives the whole piece a gentle, dreamy glow. The splatters add just the right touch of movement without overwhelming the focal point.
