Another Friday, another new challenge at QKR Stampede. This week, we want to see "Splatters or Sprays." I dug out two of my favorite sprays by Dylusions and, while they are favorites especially when used together, I have to admit they've been languishing in the stash for many, many months. So it was great to have this challenge theme and use them again.
I've wanted to use this darling "Gnome Lady" (called Knome Lady Digi 4101 in the store - a typo, perhaps, but nevertheless stuck with that name if you are going to search for it) ever since I saw it on another DT member's card a while back. Today seemed a good day for it.
I started by coloring her with my ProMarkers and then fussy cutting her. I picked up two scraps of white CS, otherwise headed for the trash bin, and sprayed one with green iridescent spray and the other with purple. I pieced those together and trimmed the edges to make them into a distressed square. Then I die cut the black framing piece (Impression Obsession die), also a scrap, and layered everything together.
I printed the sentiment and matted it with a tiny scrap left on the desk when I cut the purple sprayed piece. I inked the edges of everything with a black marker. Next, I dug through the ribbon stash and found the three different ribbons. I layered the shiny wide ribbon that looks like lace and the sparkly purple ribbon together and wrapped them around the card front. I used the third ribbon to tie the bow. Again, all scrap pieces and you know how self-satisfied I feel when I use up snippets instead of throwing them out! :-D.

I first looked at the sketch on C.R.A.F.T.,
reversed it and angled the sentiment
instead of putting it perfectly horizontal.

You put this one together very creatively and it came our great. It's funny you posted this one today because yesterday a ladybug landed on my arm and last night one was walking right across our table like she owned the place. LOL Have a fun weekend.
