DOTTY

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all well.

I hope you are seeing this post as I am away working this weekend :(

This is just the start of a lot of weekend working for me right up until the end of October but at least it keeps my out of mischief, but means less time spent in the craft room :((


It's challenge time again over at Totally Gorjuss and this week's theme is "Dotty".  We have two prizes up from grabs this week from The Ribbon Girl and Heather's Hobbie Haven, so if you want to be in with a chance to win a voucher to spend in these stores, then make sure you get your entries in over at Totally Gorjuss.

Here is a proper close-up of the image - can you tell I've been playing around with the black and white image above ;)


Enough pictures I hear you cry so here is the full card:


I am just loving this new set of Bildmalarna Little Winged Friends stamps, and have just seen the new Christmas ones - looks as though this is going to be expensive $-)

The recipe for the card is:

Stamp:  Bildmalarna - Little Winged Friends - Mushroom
Papers:  My Minds Eye - Lost and Found - Halloween (this is on offer at just £5 at the moment - grab one while you can)
Oval Die:  Die-namics - Oval STAX Set 1 and Oval STAX Set 2
Sentiment Stamp:  Whimsy - Love Mini Tickets
Sentiment Die:  Whimsy - Mini Ticket Die
Corner Die:  Die-namics - Photo Corners (I cut this down to size a little)
Button Dies:  Cheery Lynn - Buttons # 3
Twine:  Ribbon Girl - Card of Brown Earth Mix Hemp Twine (gorgeous stuff this is)

I have coloured the image with a mixture of Copics and Twin Touch Markers (TT):

Skin:  E21 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)
Hair:  TT - BR99 BR100 BR101 BR104
Clothes:  TT - BR95 BR112 BR97 BR107 / Copics:  E55 E53 E51 E50
Boots:  E49 E47 E44
Mushrooms:  E43 E42 E41 E40 / R39 R29 R24 R22
Shading:  W5 W3 W1 W00

You will also see that I have used a stamp around the paper to make it look distressed and this is a Kaisercraft Clear Texture Stamp called "Distress" from Bunny Zoes and let me tell ya - at just £2.95 for a stamp which measures 5cm x 13cm, then these are just a MUST!

I have outlined the image with my Copic Air Compressor using E44
The papers have been edged in Walnut Stain Distress Ink

And that's it! Thank you for dropping by.  I hope you have a great weekend.
