Friday Fun Day Challenge at Jo's Scrap Shack

Good Morning. Today's Friday Fun Day Challenge #24 over at Jo's Scrap Shack is being sponsored by Limited Runs Digital Stamps for Team A.  I chose this Flower with Lady bug image to make a card following the sketch provided to the Design Team.


- Printed the Limited Runs digi on Copic Xpress paper, colored with copics; die cut with a S/Binder circle and used DI Peeled Paint to sponge around the edges while still in the die. The background had been colored with Copic G0000.

- Background created with Orange Zest, Pure Sunshine & Dry Martini Dylusions sprays. The Dry Martini spray was a dilution of water with White Linen added. Sprayed some gold Tattered Angels over the Dylusions spray and let dry naturally, after tilting the w/c paper to allow the puddles to marble. Different pieces created this way were used for the S/B Lacey Circle mat, and circle trims were created with different punches, in order to follow the sketch. I rearranged the position of the circles to fit horizontal card design. Some of the pieces were snippets from other projects (the banner & the smaller circles). The scalloped circle & lacey mat were created during this session using sprays listed.

- The blue paper (snippet) on the right side of the card is some DP that matched the mottling of the yellowed background. The sketch called for this kind of placement, and my Dylusions backgrounds didn't create enough of a contrast to show up well, so into the stash for something with more contrast.

- Elizabeth Craft sentiment (snippet). added rhinestones on the circles and head of the ladybug, and called this done.

Hope you will find time to join us over at Jo's Scrap Shack today, because we'd love to see your creations. Maybe you have a Limited Runs Digi to use, but if not, you can still play along. The rules are simple and are posted at Jo's Blog.

Thanks for joining me today. If you celebrated Halloween yesterday, I hope you had a grand time. Hugs
