Morning girls
We've a corker of a challenge for you this week on Totally Papercrafts.
So, seeing as it's the lovely Victoria's turn to set the theme she's gone for...
VICTORIAN
yes, I hear you groaning girls!!! I feel your pain, been there and done that lol
Our sponsor for this week is
and the lucky winner will get to choose four digital images from their vast range.
Here's my effort
I really didn't know where to start with this one then I remembered some vintage style ATC sheets I've had in me stash since the year dot. So I inked them up and layered them onto a piece of green paper that's been laying in me bits box for an age too. Then I got to colouring the image using traditional reds and greens and I think I almost nailed it lol. The poinsietta flowers were cut from another ATC and layered up for some added depth. A bit of cream lace which I now wish I'd inked a little too completed the card.
I tell ya, this is so out of my comfort zone but what's a challenge if it doesn't challenge us right?
Do pop over to the challenge blog for loads more inspiration from my lovely teamies and of course, play along with us if you'd like.
I'll be back later with my Polka Doodles DT card too, so toodle pip till then:)
