The new digital images for the Creative Freebie Challenge at Outlawz arrived in my e-mail late last night and I stayed up to get this made. The instant I saw Sandi's image, I started thinking "opera" and, since there were a couple of wonderful challenges which had music in their themes, I put a list of challenges together and ended up with this card.
I colored her with Touch Twin markers and heat embossed her neckline and sash. I die cut the image and matted it with a die cut oval. The dps are from DCWV's "Performance" matstack, including the piece with the sentiment "Sing your heart out", which I cut from the same piece as the oval frame. I've had that stack at least a year and I keep hoarding it as though it must be saved. lol Better to use it, I think. The pearls have also been in my stash quite a while but the flowers are relatively new, from Kaiser Craft this time.
Challenges:
Clear It Out -- Something yellow
Di's Digis Designs -- Pile on the Flowers
Guylou's Inimitability -- Music or Dance
It's All about the Vintage -- Anything (vintage or retro) goes
Oldie but Goodie Challenge -- Flower Power
Paper Play -- Music
Skipping Stones Design -- Inspiration photo (woman holding flowers)
Use It Tuesday -- Emboss
Ooops, Blogger forgot to post this as scheduled so I'm doing it myself now. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday but didn't follow it quite so literally this time (a great feat for me!)
