Sonny's Party

I have been looking at blog challenges recently - and came across this great DT Challenge from Tales From Pollycraft. The challenge was to create a card using one of their digi-stamps - I chose Sonny's Party - isn't she cute? Once I had printed her out, I coloured her using Promarkers and then matted and layered her using Spellbinders Labels Fourteen and Labels Twenty nestabilities - two of my favourites. I also used Fancy Tags Three for the sentiment. To create the floral decoration, I used Spellbinders Foliage and Rose Creations (can you tell I am a fan?) and blended some distress inks on the leaves to really make them pop. I took some Vintage Ribbon and dyed it to match my project using the new Distress Stains. I added the ribbon and some hat pins behind the Rose. To add some texture and detail, I used a Martha Stewart punch (Embossed Scallop Edge) to decorate the large floral paper panel. I wanted to make the most of Sonny's balloon so I punched some more balloons out and used a fine line pen to add the strings to her hand. I am entering my submission today - wish me luck! xxx
