New Challenge #126 at Glitter N Sparkle

Hi,
Well this was a fairly nice week for me.
I finished my 6 weeks Back-To-Work course
and I am looking forward to starting my new Training.
Scary though it may seem after all this time,
having to retrain and possibly start a new career.
And all this and I'm still not sure if my body can
physically take what I'm wanting to do but only time will tell
I guess, so fingers crossed please everyone.

Well I was treated this week to a date with my mister
(why do we never make more time for dating)
to the Cinema,
and yes we went to see THAT film.
Was very surprised that he actually enjoyed it,
and stated that the plot line was rather good
(and he wasn't referring to the Adult Content)
!!!!!!!!!

Well I'm off to spend some more quality time with my beloved
as he is finally off work for a bit after
12 solid days of work.

So I will leave you with this weeks
 lovely Spring themed Project,
which I have again used a sketch.


The Theme at
Anything Goes


Our Sponsors this week are:-


Crafty Sentiment Designs who are offering
3 Images from their store.


Ike's Art who is offering


3 Images from their store.

Lacy Sunshine who is offering


3 Images from their store.

My Project this
week is:-

Dand E Lion Blooming Beauty Digi Stamp
from Lacy Sunshine
(our sponsor)

To begin with I used a Pre-cut White Card
(stash)
On to this I place a 13cm Square of 
Dandelion Wrapping Paper
(Emily Burmingham).
Next I cut a 10.5cm Square of 
Mustard Yellow Card
(stash)
which I cut diagonally in half.
And also a 7.5 x 8.5cm Rectangle of
Apple Green Card
(stash)
For all of the Corners I used a 5mm Corner Punch
(X-Cut)
to round them off.

Using the Mustard Yellow Card again
I Diecut out the Oval Flower Frame
from the A5 Trims Border Set
(X-Cut XCU503057)

I then printed the Image
  on White DC Paper
and coloured it in
using my Promarker Pens

                                                           Skin -        Vanilla
                                                                              Satin
                                                                              Blush (Cheeks)
                                                                              Dusky Rose (Lips)
                                                                              Apple (Eyes)
                                                           Hair -        Pastel Yellow
                                                                              Lemon
                                                                              Buttercup
                                                                              Gold
                                                                              Yellow (Bow)
                                                                              Mustard (Bow)
                                                                              Pear Green (Leaves)
                                                           Dress -      Lemon
                                                                              Gold
                                                                              Pear Green
                                                                              Moss
                                                                              Black
                                                           Shoes -      Moss
                                                                              Black

I then cut it out using the insert 
of the Oval Flower Frame Die.

I wrapped a Green/Silver Ribbon around the Card
(Boyes Haberdashery)
under the Apple Green Rectangle.

For my Flowers I handmade them, 
I remember seeing a video on You-Tube ages ago 
(sorry I can't remember which one).
I used White Crepe Paper 
and coloured it with my Promarkers.
Here are the Basic Instructions,
 A 2 x 1 inch rectangle 
(coloured with Gold)
A 10 x 1 inch Rectangle
(coloured Yellow + Gold)
A 8 x 1 inch Rectangle 
(coloured Pear Green)
A 20 x 1 inch Rectangle
(left White)
A 3 inch length of Green Flower Wire.
First I folded the 2 inch Gold Rectangle lengthways 
by a third and cut on the folded area,
then wrapped it around the Wire
Next I made wider cuts all along the 
10 inch Yellow Rectangle then 
wrapped this around the Wire over the Gold Paper.
(this makes the Flower)
For the Leaves I folded the Green in half to make 
4 x 1 inch which will give you 2 Leaves.
Then folded in half the other way,
then cut out a Dandelion Leaf Shape.

To make the Seed Head I cut all along both sides of the
20 inches then folded it 0.5 inch wide
concertina style. 
when all folded I wrapped a piece of wire around the middle
of the paper and just fluffed all the cut edges out.

And to finish off I used Holographic White Fluffy Glitter
(stash)
on the Dandelion Seed Heads 
to give them a bit of dimension.
And round the Edge of the White Card
I ran the Gold Promarker Pen.
