My mind went immediately to the first sketch challenge (Week 8) as I really love that sketch and use it often so that's my first challenge down. I got my first ever set of paper smooch stamps this weeks from Make the Day Special in the UK (finally hurrah!) and really wanted to play with them, so I opted for the masculine challenge (Week 7) and my final combined challenge is embossing (Week 15). I am also combining in a 4th challenge, from this weeks Daring Cardmakers, who want us to use kraft and natural materials.
I stared with a black DL card and heat embossed the sentiment in copper direct to the card. I added a strip of corrugated card which is wrapped with jute twine in the grooves. The TV is stamped on smooth kraft, shaded with copics and pencils and the screen given a coat of glossy accents. I cut this out and stuck it onto a white nestie circle and stamped the ariel onto that.
It will be going along to the fayre with me tomorrow where we are selling all the cards that have kindly been donated for sale in aid of St Luke's Hospice - many by fellow LIMettes, so THANK YOU to all who have donated.
