Addicted to Stamps and More! Challenge # 182

Hi everybody and welcome to a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More!  Our theme for this weeks challenge is:



This means you can get out your pencils, your markers, your Distress Inks, your brushes.....basically anything that you can use to colour your project. The choice is yours!!

Our Sponsor for this challenge is Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More and they are giving a prize of 3 digital images to the winner. Woo hoo!!



Twelve months ago this theme scared the **** out of me as I wasn't confident with my colouring skills at all. I'm still not that good but have learned a lot since then and enjoy getting out my pencils etc. Here is what I came up with this time:


I was very lucky to get hold of some of the new Waffle Flower Crafts  products ahead of their release today February 24th and couldn't wait to play around with them!!

I started off by stamping the flower, sheep and butterflies on white CS and colouring with my pencils. I then carefully fussy cut them all out. After die-cutting the white scalloped frame twice from white CS, I drew a faint pencil line around one, so I knew where it would sit on the card front. This way I could use my mini-blending tool and some distress inks to create the grass/sky scene on the card.

Double-sided tape was used to adhere the scalloped frames together, slightly offset, and then to the card front. I then used a mixture of tape and glue to add my pencil coloured pieces to the scene. And of course I added some sequins for a bit of sparkle!!

The Inverted Scallop Circle Dies are from Waffle Flower, as well as the flower, sheep and butterflies from stamp set 'Welcome Spring'. The sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh.

You have until next Wednesday to link your creations to the Addicted to Stamps and More! challenge. And the rest of the Design Team have some incredible projects on the blog to spark your imagination. I can't wait to see your ideas in the Gallery!!!

Take care
Shona
