I was running behind schedule and wasn’t sure if I would get this made in time – my design team contribution for Creative Knockouts – but managed to finish it last night after work and had to wait until this morning for decent photos as the sun had gone by the time I finished!
Our theme is For the Kids and chose to use the cute little girls tutu image from Patties Creations who are sponsoring the challenge.
I printed it off and watercoloured it using the Concord and 9th ink and then added the clear glitter glue from Kingston Crafts to make it extra sparkly!
I then left it to dry overnight. I then glued another piece of thin card to the back of the image before cutting it out to strengthen it as it was quite flimsy what I had printed on!
Then I took some pink cardstock and decided to create a fun background using the Altenew layered stencil.
I used ink for two of the layers for the flowers and then silver acrylic paint for the leaf elements. I then left the fourth layer off as it was already a busy enough pattern I felt.
Once the paint was dry I added the dress with glue to the front and then added some flat sequins as embellishments where I felt the background had some gaps.
I then took a sentiment that was already stamped and die cut and added that to the front with some adhesive foam.
I then raised the whole panel up on foam too to give even more dimension.
Love this! and considering it was a rushed job at the end of a busy few days at work it was still nice to take a little time to be creative!
Happy crafting!
