Creative Fingers DT - Beccy's Place

Good Morning! 

How are you lovely people?! 

A new challenge over at Creative Fingers today - Link is HERE

As always it's Anything Goes and again for this challenge we have Beccy's Place as our sponsor - Link is HERE

They are the most lovely images! 

I got to work with Old Pump - Link is HERE

For a change I decided to colour the image in with pencils. 

I thought this would add a subtleness to the image with the card being CAS. 

After finishing the image, I'm unsure whether I like it! I know I will end up colouring it in again with Promarkers or Spectrum Noir pens! 

Anyways, enjoy the challenge! :) 

The OutLawz DT - Burnishing!

Hello there! 

Another Monday so another challenge over at Monday Greetings - Link is HERE 

This week our challenge is "Burnish part of your card" - I had no idea what this was or how to do it!! 

So after a lot of googling, I finally decided on how I was going to burnish my project. 

This week we are sponsored by Bugaboo - Link is HERE 

And 2 Cute 2 Ink - Link is HERE 

I had the opportunity to use Bugaboo's Girls Happy Trio - Link to image HERE 

So, the burnished part of my project is the image itself. I went with the technique of colouring the image with pencils and then going over it with a white pencil. This then blended the colours together and gave the image a slight sheen. I used Derwent Coloursoft pencils to colour the image in. The sentiment I made up and printed off the pc. It reads "There is no greater laughter than laughter among friends" very apt for the image! LOL Because I'd used different colours on the image, I wanted the card quite simple so went with a white embossed background, twine and buttons. 

I hope you can see the burnishing in the pic on bottom right :) 

Be nice to see you all over at the OutLawz - There's lots of challenges to along with!
