Hello everyone and Happy Thursday :) Wow, it has been a crazy day here. We've had 60-65 mph wind gusts all day long. Lots of power lines, street signs, etc. down, but luckily, knock on wood, our subdivision is okay so far. Hope everyone's week is going well.
My card today is my submission to this week's challenge over at High Hopes. Our challenge this week was a sketch challenge. If you've been by my blog before, you know how I love my fairy tales, so I decided to go all out and make a multi-character fairy tale scene with my card. First, I stamped the Rock Wall using Memento Black Ink onto PTI cardstock and colored it in with copics. I then stamped it again onto a post-it note, cut it out, ans used that as a mask so that I could stamp the Castle behind it. I then colored the castle with copics. Next, I stamped the castle two more times, colored each piece with copics, then cut them out and added them to the original castle with dimensionals for some added pop. Next, I stamped the Princess, Knight, and Fairy Princess, cut them out, and added lots of Stickles :) I adhered everything to the card base with dimensionals for added pop.
All cardstock is Stampin Up (Night of Navy and Bravo Burgundy). The design paper is from DCWV's Once Upon a Time stack. The ribbon is from Michael's and the charm is a Blue Moon Heart Charm from Susana's store (these are gorgeous, you get a great variety in one pack). I also added Gold Geo Shaped Sparklers to the princess's crown.
What do you think? I'm sorry for so many pictures, but I wanted to be able to show all the dimension on the card. This one was certainly a labor of love :)
A couple more things and then I'm done (finally) :) Susana, of Susana's Custom Art and Card Design just announced some super exciting news. Elisabeth Bell, the fantastic illustrator who has illustrated stamps for Whiff of Joy and Sugar Nellie stamps, is going to be designing stamps exclusively for Susana's store. Check out Elisabeth's Blog for details. Also, tomorrow, Susana's design team will be unveiling a brand new illustrator who will be designing a line of stamps exclusively for Susana's store. Make sure to check back tomorrow for that. Finally, Marti, of Pez-A-Doodle Designs is having a huge sale, so make sure to check that out.
Okay, whew, I'm finally finished :) Thanks for reading this far :) See you back here tomorrow.
Hugs, Christine
