Her body, a garden

 


It's my turn to pick a theme for the new Allsorts challenge and I've chosen "Feminine" or anything goes.

I've used a new stamp from AALL & Create called Her body, a garden. I decided to approach colouring differently and put a light stamp impression onto the card and then added colour in bold large areas. Then I restamped the image over the top. It didn't quite work out as I had hoped so I did then touch up some areas again with the watercolour paints. 

I framed the image using part of a frame set from Maximum Crafts and then the decoration on the frame is from a JND die set called Dotted Lines FrameMaker. It's another frame set, but not big enough for this image, so I just used the decorative part of the frame.

The sentiment is a hot foil Spellbinders die.

We have two prizes from AALL and Create


I do hope you can join us and I look forward to seeing your makes.
