Me again! This time, I am here to share a card with you which has been made for the latest challenge at Michelle Perkett Studios, which is to make your own backing paper.
I followed the sketch from this week's challenge at A Gem of a Challenge #22, which was designed by DT member, Rebecca.
Now as I am away from home (spending the Bank Holiday weekend at my caravan with my DH and the littlies.....lucky me!) I had very limited resources to use, (although it's surprising just how good I've got at cramming as much stash as I can into my 2 craft bags I always bring!!! lol!!) I had an idea as to how I was going to create my own DP and used MS Publisher to print one of Michelle's senti-images (LOVE) and coloured the hearts with a Promarker. I wanted to sponge-print ink over the surface, but had onlt got a couple of colours and no sponges :( so I had to 'make do.' I am a bit disappointed with the result, as I had to use a rubbish little sponge applicator and the effect is rather more blotchy than I was hoping for, but hey-ho.
I coloured the gorgeous party dress image with Promarkers and cut it out, then added double layered foam pads for extra dimension. I layered an orange Bazzill card with my handmade DP onto a 6"x6" scalloped card, with two ribbons as per sketch. I added 3 flower buttons from my stash (which I luckily had tucked into my bag!) a few gems and a ribbon on the corner to fit the sketch.
The sentiment I have used comes with the image, which is available from Michelle's Etsy shop.
I added some gel pen dots to finish the card off......not one of my best cards, but I was pleasantly surprised with the final result once everything was in place, especially as I had very little to work with!
So, to clarify, I am entering the Michelle Perkett Studios challenge, (Make Your own patterned papers,) and the Gem of a Challenge #22 (sketch challenge.)
`Thanks for looking!
