I have had a frantic activity kind of a week. Yes, I did not have a Heartfelt Creations post yesterday as I usually do because I've been substitute teaching and needing to do a lot of clothing alterations for people and our latest litter of puppies is one of our friendliest litters to date and are in need of quite a bit of attention. I have to leave to sub again today shortly, so I've got to speed things up here.
Today, the by Lori Designs Challenge Team has a sketch challenge for you! If you can play along with us, use code BLDC16 so we can find your project and leave a comment for you and do link to the By Lori Designs Challenge blog! We are excited to see what you come up with for this sketch.
Here's the deal with my card. I originally made the base 4 1/4"x 5 1/2" and had my image coloured and ready to go and made the lacey under layer for the image. These items were laying separately on my stamping desk. When I tried to put them together I discovered that the base was too small for everything else. I released a primordial groan of epic proportions and proceeded to prep a 6" square base for my 4 1/4"x 5 1/2" base. OY! I hope it doesn't look too weird.
I got the idea for the lacey border from a recent post on Becca Feeken's blog, Amazing Paper Grace. Becca has included a link for a video tutorial to create this kind of dimensional honeycomb gorgeousness.
I coloured my Harper image using copic markers.
hair/shoes; E55, E57, E59
dress; R20, R21, R24, R27
skin; E000, E00, E11, R12
background; B40, B41, B42, colourless blender
I know it might be hard to see, but I went over Harper's skirt using an Atyou Spica glitter pen in Blossom. Up close her skirt is super sparkly from the ground glass in the pen, but I have a really hard time photographing it. If you click on this image to supersize it and bring it up in a new window, it makes the ultra fine glitter easier to see. While I was uploading this shot to blogger it went mega supersize and the sparkle was EASY to see!
