The post title is my overall motto and apparently, it's Effie's too! She's a digital stamp from Sassy Studio Designs (challenge theme is You've Been Framed) and she's totally dolled up with a gorgeous trinket on her finger (that's a tiny rhinestone.)
"Effie Trinket" is a freebie at the Sassy Studio Designs group at Paper Craft Planet where they want us to use the freebie and help them celebrate 600 members. They also want to see Embossing, Flowers, Full of color, Ink, and Embellishments (EFFIE).
Effie's hair and skin are colored with alcohol ink markers, and her dress and hat are completely paper pieced with 3 different dps. The flowery background dp was in my stash and I have no idea who made it. I used an oval die to cut the image plus two larger sizes for framing, a total of 3 layers on the image. The dark frame is metallic paper which has been embossed. The card base has also been embossed with a CB "Linen" folder. All the embellishments, including the ribbon for the bow, were in my stash.
I punched the corners with a decorative punch and added three pearls to each side of the frame.
Other Challenges:
2 Sisters -- Anything goes
Crafts and Me -- favorite color combo: anything with purples
Crazy Amigo -- Flowers
Divas by Design -- Monochromatic
Little Darlings -- Flowers
Paper Pretties -- Flowers
Poodles Parlour -- Anything goes
Speedy & Friends -- 3 of something (pearls, image layers, papers for piecing)
Stamp Man -- Favorite technique: paper piecing
Stamp, Scrap and Doodle -- Ribbons and Bows
Stampin' for the Weekend -- 4 or more layers (there are 5)
Hope you're having a great start to your week and that your weekend was fun, relaxing, and filled with creativity, whatever the weather may have been. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
I took the sketch from Sweet Stop, except I used an oval frame instead of a circle.
