Crafting with Dragonflies Challenge #21 - Make a Shaped Card

Well, that is pretty specific you would have thought. Nothing else - make a shaped card.........

So, I started to make one, and got so engrossed in the image that I got from Milk Coffee, and then mounting it and using a background paper and adding embellishments and all that; and then photographing it, and playing with my image manipulation to reduce the size and enlarge and all that; and only when I went to include it in the DT's blog did I realise it had to be a SHAPED CARD, and mine was a square!

DUH!

We have two sponsors for this Challenge  

All Dressed Up

 

and 

Milk Coffee 

Both have offered digi's to our winners - go to Crafting with Dragonflies for some more details and to see the cards the other girls in the team created - I am in awe - much better than mine, believe me!

I used an image from Milk Coffee as I said, and printed it out on XPress blending card and coloured it with my Copics - I really had trouble with her hair. I went back several times and worked on it with both the Copics and the Prisma pencils before I was happy enough to leave it - still not right though! 

My shape (can you guess?) is a large scalloped circle, hand cut as I only have a Big Shot and so cannot cut beyond that size. This was hand-drawn and then fussy cut from black Bazzil card. The image is mounted firstly with SU Melon Mambo, and then with sparkly black card.  I doodled around the edges with a fine black pen. Then I doodled with a white gel pen around the outside. 

The sentiment is from MFT Think Big set and stamped in SU Melon Mambo. I fussy-cut a mount in a scrap of SUMM and I added some Annabelle sprinkles. I looked at it again and then added a pink gauze flower with three small leaves. Enough!

I will make a confession - I have made and remade this card several times and rephotographed it and put the correct photo up CWD's blog - and totally forgot to redo my scheduled blog with the new photographs!

So, if you have been here before and it didn't look like it does now - that's why!!

Why not go over the crafting with Dragonflies and see what the DT has come up with - fabulous work - and then have a go yourself to create a shaped card.
