The sponsor for the CRAFT challenge #626 is Oddball and the theme is Love/valentines. Each week we invite you to join us at Trimmies Craft Challenge going with the theme.
So here’s a summary of the materials used to make the card:
White 5×7” 300gsm scalloped edge base card

I coloured this cute little giraffe with my chameleon pens. I wanted to show that a card for love could be for the birth of a child. Love is all around us.

Distress oxide inks – Victorian Velvet and Picked Raspberry
Studio light ticket stamp and die set
Tattered lace starburst ovals
Leaf die
Fuchsia pink paper
Sparkly cream 240gsm card from pink frog

Paper trimmer

The image I chose to use was this lovely postbox. With the hearts on it, it screamed anniversary to me and love, hence why I coloured it in red and pink Chameleon pens.
I recently picked up the ticket cutting die and decided that I wanted to team these up with the postbox image. I die cut 3 of these, created a background with some Victorian Velvet distress oxide ink then stamped with picked raspberry using some of the stamps from that set and others from another set. I mean it’s great to mix and match your stash isn’t it!
I cut out the starburst ovals but also kept the centre and used a pick up technique, with the distress oxide picked raspberry ink, to colour this mat. Next cutting out a few of the leaves too.
As always it’s lovely to see that you’ve stopped by to leave a comment. Thank you.
for this challenge the design team were all given one image. It’s amazing how many different creations come from one image. This hopefully gives you some inspiration to take an image and make it your own.
