Tilda with Mr Rooster

Friday was a snow day! So Clare got to have an extra day card making. I rang Carol at Gemini Crafts, Sutton in Ashfield to see if she had any spaces in her friday class and she said she could squeeze me in. So there I was a quick dive to the bank and off up Sutton and here's what I made:

and here's how:  After cutting all my pieces of card to size I distressed the edges of one in pumice stone and spun sugar (which I borrowed from Sue - Thanks Sue) and then stamped it with a chicken wire stamp in the same colours. That was then layered onto a piece of grey textured card which was in turn layered onto the base card. Some textured pink card was cut using Decorative Labels 4.

I then stamped Tilda onto some card, I did a bit of jiggery pokery shown by Carol so that part of the Rooster was actually outside the diecut shape as shown below.  I distressed the edge and stamped chicken wire again with the spun sugar and then coloured in the image using, from my Spectrum Noir Pastel and Pale Hues sets, PP1 & 2, FS1 & 3 and TN1 & 2. I borrowed a grey Promarker pen from Carol for Tilda's boots and for the grey in the rooster as my greys are cool greys and I needed a warm grey.

 

The Tilda image was added to the pink shape which was stuck using 3D foam pads onto the background card. I then added a pink treble bow after being shown how to make one by Carol and added a little pink heart button to bring in the colour and did a second stamp of Tilda's hair bow and used 3D pads to lift that from the image too.

 

All in all, a lovely class with lovely ladies and a few new techniques learned x
