Stamptacular Challenge 5

Stamptacular Challenge 5 has a Mother theme and this week we are sponsored by Sketching Stamper Digi-Stamps. The other girls on the DT have made some amazing creations, so take a look and join in if you can.

For my DT card I have used one of Chris's fabulous images and it is coloured with distress inks. Instead of using my water brush, I just used a standard paint brush so very little water went onto the image and the printer ink held up really well.

The image has been cut with my nesties and the outer layer has been paper pierced for a little extra detail.

The papers are from K & Co and the outer edges have been stitched. This is the first time I have attempted to use stitching on a card, I love the effect but I don't have anywhere to set up my sewing machine permanently so I wont be stitching too often!

Supplies:
Card/Paper: White and pink card, K & Co - McKenna
Image: Tulip bowl - Sketching Stamper Digi-Stamps
Colouring: Distress inks - peeled paint, fired brick, weathered wood, vintage photo, black soot
Embellishments: Ribbon, charm, jewels
Tools: Cuttlebug, nesties, needle, standard paint brush
Thanks for looking x
