I'm back today with news of our next challenge over at Fantasy Stampers, but first I just wanted to clarify a point that a good friend raised. I chose the name for the blog because I liked it, NOT because I wanted projects to be of a 'fantasy' nature - the entries have been low on the last couple of challenges and we wondered if the name was deterring people from entering. I would love to hear your thoughts on this ...
Okay, now that's sorted - a new challenge starts today and the theme for the next two weeks is ...
Why not come and join us with your 'distressed' projects, but remember we are a stamping challenge so your entry must include some stamping. Here's my DT inspiration for this one ...
I loved playing with this one - I started with an 8x8" cream scalloped card and added papers from my stash. All the edges have been thoroughly distressed with my scissors (very satisfying) and then inked with Walnut Stain distress ink. I even got my trusty little sewing machine out and stitched around the edges for some added detail.
The image is from LOTV and is called 'It's my Party' and is coloured with my Promarkers - I added a little crystal glitter on her skirt and tiara too. The sentiment was created on my pc and then distressed and inked as well.
Extra embellishments include some die-cut butterfly border pieces, a piece of gorgeous polkadot ribbon, a lacey die-cut border, a few handmade flowers with little pearl centres, lots of adhesive pearls and a few little punched butterflies.
Why not pop over to the main blog and check out some more fab projects from my teamies.
Hugz, Jan xx
