Today is my niece's birthday and I wanted to make her more of a keepsake than a card this year. With the help of Teddy Bea here is what I made:
I'm sorry about the quality of the photos, the light is very poor here this morning.
Using my new MCS cd-rom, I imported the lettering from a Crafters Companion cd. I then selected the images I wanted to use and cut round them all using the new scissors tool. I then re-sized the letters and images to suit and added an image to each letter. I printed them all out on Neenah cardstock and then coloured all the images using coloursoft pencils, blended, as usual, with baby oil.
I added a small dimensional butterfly to the letter M.
I added ultra fine glitter to the moon on this image, but I didn't spread the glue evenly as I wanted to try and create the surface of the moon.
This is one of the first digi stamps I purchased and still one of my favourites. I added a balloon embellishment from my stash to this one, threaded through her hand to secure in place.
I added eyelets to each of the letters for extra strength, and then attached them to each other using bakers twine.
My creation is for the following challenges:
Teddy Bo Challenge - Anything Goes
Flutterby Wednesdays - Bright Colours
My Mum's Craft Shop - Here Come The Girls
Moving Along With The Times - Spots and/or stripes (All the letters are spotty)
Chocolate, Coffee and Cards - Add Glitter
Alphabet Challenge Blog - Y for You Can Choose
ABC Challenge - Happy Birthday
I'm sorry for the long post today, I hope you stuck with me! Enjoy your Sunday.
