Hello there my blog friendlies and how are you on this bright and breezy morning (I haven't a clue what it is like really 'cos I 'scheduled' this post and therefore I am still in me pit with me eyes closed!!!) However, this is a card for Lady Anne's Stamp Challenge No 10. We were asked to make two DT cards this month because there are two sponsors and this one is for a mid-challenge reminder, as such.
I love this image by Rick St Dennis and was so chuffed to be able to colour it in for this DT card. Think I might have gone a tad over-bling n feathery but I felt it was needed to go with the main colours of purple, pink and black!
I did the mask in both black and mirri then put the mirri behind the black, slightly off centre, so that you can see the shine underneath. I added several purple gems to the mask and the Venetian dies for bling. My feathers were my last little addition.
Ingredients
8" x 8" square card
Digi Image - Waltz by Rick St Dennis
First Edition Papers - Dreamcatcher
Purple card and Mirri from my stash
Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities Circle die
Spellbinders Curved Rectangles
Spellbinders Venetian Motifs and Accents Dies
Memory Box Kaleidoscope Butterfly
Copics
WOC flowers
Feathers, gems and Stardust Stickles
I hope you like my card and if you can leave a comment I will be well chuffed.
I visited a few blogs yesterday and there are so many beautiful creations - I think this weather must be helping you all with your mojos!
Huge big hugs to you all out there and I do hope you are enjoying the sunshine, but if not, I trust you are managing to keep cool!
SUE

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card Susie I love his stamps (RSD) and this one is a fav of mine too.
ReplyDeleteRe your question about the pink roses on my card .
They are from Hobby Craft. They have a huge selection of flowers and I think these were £2.00 something for a bunch , they have pinks, lemons and lilacs and all are ( two tone ) they are so pretty I stocked up on the pinks as I love pink .
Glad to see you are taking a break in the sun .
Sending you a big Hug Elaine
