Good morning, hope today finds you well...
I would like to welcome our new friend and follower, Kersten...it is great to have you join in with this crafty journey....
Today is a special day so I am going to blog early then it is family time and I am looking forward to lunch with my wonderful husband....
As you know I am really enjoying playing along with the girls at the Less Is More Challenge....
This week their Challenge is....Week 225- Add Some Metal.....
http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/week-225-recipe.html
Here is my offering....
I started by looking through my box of metal embellishments.....and then decided which stamps to use....
This is such a useful stamp set....from Claritystamp..
I took a piece of gelli card and stamped the borders..
Then the Taylor's dummy...
Next I added some colour using my Spectrum Noir pencils....these really are fabulous and a great way to add shade to colouring...
The sentiment needed a border, so out with a black fine liner....
Then more shade using my charcoal pencils...And finally the metal embellishment....
And I couldn't resist an extra little touch of this metal pin...
And there we have it..... I do hope you like it..
Do pop over to the blog....the dt make the most wonderful creations...
