Another week gone!

Just like that! I have a new part-time job and it is taking more of the part than it should at this stage, but hopefully it will settle down.

I haven't had time to craft until today, so made a card to fit several challenges.  I used the Mojo Monday #190 sketch for my layout, and Crop Stop wanted me to use Copics "in the shadows", while the CR84FN Challenge wanted me to use red, yellow and neutral. Tuesday Throwdown this week is to use a die cut in your work, and I have! Copic Oz is also having a challenge to 'celebrate women', so her goes for that too. So, here goes!



I used an image from Annabelle stamps, stamped onto Xpress paper with Memento black, and coloured it with Copic pens.  I die cut a frame using Nellies rectangles in red card, and die cut a flower as well.  The red in the flower and the red it the frame are just slightly different as I used scraps from my stash - didn't show up that much until I took the photos!  The background paper is from Basic Grey's Hello Luscious paper pad.  The ribbon is a Kaiser one and the rub-on is also one of theirs I think.  The base card is a commercial blank. The brads are from stash, and the heart is a Bella jewel. It is assembled as you see it, with the frame layered over the image. 


This is a clearer picture of the image and the colouring.
