I have the honor of being a Guest Designer at Through the Craft Room Door this week and the challenge is being sponsored by Digistamps4Joy. I used their lovely "Bedazzled Bride" image.
I challenged myself this time to try doing white-on-white again. I've tried it a few times in the past and have never been happy with the results. However, I admit to really liking this one and being proud of it. :-D
I did color some of the image with ProMarkers (her skin & hair) and a bit of gold paint pen to highlight the embroidery on her dress. I used an out-of-the-box technique to die cut the image with one of my oldest dies from Spellbinders. I layered that onto two more die cut frames, both by Spellbinders, and I used dimensional tape to separate the layers, adding texture and dimension. Both of the lower layers are "Linen" embossed with a folder.
I decided that I really wanted to showcase the die cuts so I didn't add any flowers, or lace, or ribbons, or any of the more common embellishments for wedding cards. I think it's more than enough as it it.
Challenges:
Color Crazy Craft
Crafting from the Heart
Crafty Calendar
Hiding in My Craft Room
Jo's Scrap Shack
Lemon Shortbread
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends
Outlawz Twisted Thurs.
Scrapy Land
Word Art Weds.
