Crafty Ann's Challenge No 28

Well, thank you to everyone that entered in the anniversary challenge over at Crafty Ann's.  Click here to see the winner.  There was also an offer on each Design Team member blog for a free digital image or free pre-coloured sheet.  The winner of mine is ................................. " Shaz "  Please go to the Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog here and make contact with Ann via e-mail at craftyann@hotmail.co.uk and and tell her you are my winner.  Thanks everyone for playing along.

This fortnight's challenge over at Crafty Ann's is a photo inspiration.  The photo is this one:



So here is the card that I have made.


I have used the tropical beach digital image and coloured it with chalk pencils and softening out with paper nibs and cotton buds.  The edges are distressed with Tim Holtz's distressing tool and this is highlighted with Tim Holtz's Dusty Concord distress ink.  I then printed off the image again onto plain old copier paper, cut it out and then used it as a mask so that I could use my new ink dusters to colour the sky.  I found a circle of paper so used this as a mask in one corner.  I used three different colours for the sky:  Tim Holtz's Faded Jeans, Tumbled Glass and Dusty Concord distress ink pads.  The tartan backing paper is from Crafty Ann's, the vellum is from my scraps box and the card is then simply finished off with ribbon, various flowers layered up with a brad in the centre, hand drawn flock of birds and a Crafty Ann's ticket sentiment (yes, the ticket sentiment is normally for the Christmas period but I thought this card would be nice if you knew of someone going on a special holiday.


Please go over to Crafty Ann's to look at the cards made from the rest of the Design Team.

I absolutely adore this Kym - I wouldn't have thought of putting a tartan paper with this image but it works perfectly.
