Fond Memories Card

Hi lovelies and welcome back to my blog.

Today I have a new make to share with you all which is my first Design Team inspiration project for A Perfect Time To Craft. This months challenge as always is Anything Goes and our sponsor for the month is Sheepski Designs 

Why not go on over and support our sponsor by looking at the shop here

For my piece I have used the beautiful Fair Lady image

I wanted to do something a little different and something I haven't done for a while so I got my inks out and made my own scenery background. I think she looks wonderful against the snowy hills and mountains looking up at the Aurora Borealis.

The products I have used to do this piece are as follows:

Fair Lady Digi Stamp

Promarkers and Spectrum Noir Markers

Versafin White Ink Pad

Stamping Sponges

Moon/Sun/Hills/Mountain Stencil

Island Indigo Ink Pad

Rich Razzelberry Ink Pad

Basic Black Card stock 

Whisper White Cardstock - Cut down to make a 5x7 card

Corner Punch

Tombow Glue

3d Foam Tape 

I hope you like what I have done and it inspires you to try something new and don't forget to pop on over to the challenge blog here and take a look at the other DT members inspiration and why not join in and enter the challenge.
