Wednesday's Sketch Challenge at The Outlawz has a wonderful sketch to work with this week:
and this is how I interpreted it :
I decided to go a little bit vintage (to practice my vintage/distressing techniques) and to use no image. I started off using a DP offcut - I handcut the outer border and inked it.
To that I added a pale green diecut and in the centre I used the waste piece from the die cut which I inked and placed back into the diecut. The sentimnent was coloured using a purple Copic marker, as were the three borders behind the diecut. Tiny flower sequins and beads were sewn on using invisible thread, and the flowers and diecut butterfly.
I love the way this turned out - although I think I need lots of practice in my vintage techniques.
