A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog - August 2020

  Today sees a new challenge over at the A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog.

The topic is always "ANYTHING GOES" and you are allowed unlimited entries into the challenge. 

 This month we are very lucky to be sponsored by "CraftsUPrint".
I fell in love with this cute image of a gnome couple so had to use it for our 29th wedding anniversary card.  The CraftsUPrint image is by Gillian Hutchinson called "3 in 1 Gnomebody Loves You Like Me".

For my card I have used the backing image, insert and decoupage topper.

The backing paper is from a vintage pad from The Works.

I have used some old cardboard packaging and some of the backing paper to make the "2" and "9" higher than normal by using two lots of the cardboard and one of the backing paper.  I have then glued together, used a Burnt Sienna around all the edges of the "2" and "9" (in hindsight it would have been easier to colour the edges of the numbers separately rather than altogether to get a full coverage with the brown alcohol ink but that's something to remember for another time!!) and then added some dots with a Crimson Promarker.

I have finished the card off with Glossy Accents on the eyes and hearts, die-cut and embossed hearts, stamped sentiment and card candi.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
