** 4/21/16 Top 3 at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends! **
Hi everyone! Life is finally settling down some... we just moved and are getting settled in the new digs. When we put our house on the market, we just knew we'd have several months to make some plans. We went under contract within 72 hours of it hitting the market so the mad scramble began. But it's all good - things happen for a reason and we are happy beyond measure! :D
I'm super stoked to be guest designing for Creative Craft Cottage and happy to share my inspiration project for Challenge #61 - Add Some Sparkle! Dig into your sparkly crafty stash and come play with us! We're being sponsored this time by Morgan's Artworld who provided us with the absolutely adorable Baby Foxes image. Isn't this the cutest image ever?!
This image was so much fun to color. I used several markers from my new 60-piece set of Zig Clean Color markers. This was the first time I used them and there's always a learning curve with new medium, but these are pretty easy to use. I think I'd like to try watercoloring with them the next time I use them. :) I also used a new Sizzix Borders Thinlits die, some new MME papers, Glitter Silk cardstock, and sequins, and of course I added my signature big bow.
I embellished the inside with a strip of paper and cardstock used on the front and a stamped sentiment on a simple hand-cut flag. I do apologize for the lighting which isn't up to par. I don't have my light box set up yet and had a little difficulty getting just the right light on this mostly-white background.
