This week's Flower Soft Challenge is to make a project using with a children's theme or usig a child's image and of course some Flower Soft. You can find more info on the challenge HERE and I hope you'll play along because there are prizes involved!
For my project, I chose to use one of the new card toppers called Christmas Night from the Charlie's Ark Sepia Collection as my focal image. Don't you just love this little girl?!?! First I cut the image with an oval nestabilitie die and then used some Ranger distress inks to sponge around the edges to make the image look "old". Then I embossed the entire image with clear UTE embossing powder, put the image in the freezer for a couple minutes and when I took it out, I cracked it in several places. I then rubbed a little more distress ink over the entire image again so it would get into the cracks. I didn't have any gold paper so I cut a piece of cream cardstock with my scalloped nestie die and painted it with my Gold Adirondak acrylic paint dabber and then added some stickles along the edges.I stamped the silhouette Santa from the CTMH I Believe stamp set in the corner and then layered my little girl on top. The "I Believe" sentiment is from JustRite Stampers Christmas Nested Sentiments and Verses. I added Gold Flower Soft down one side of my card using a strip of 1/8" scor-tape. The pattern paper is from DCWV and the flowers are Prima. I sponged the edges of the card with Tea Dye duo inks from PTI. I wanted a vitnage feel to this card which was inspired by the sepia image and I think I achieved it. Let me know what you think.
GORGEOUS!!!!! Love this.
