New Challenge #102 at Glitter N Sparkle

Hello everyone
Well its been another week where I haven't
really seen my partner.
He was suppose to have 3 days off 
at the end of the week 
and he got called in to work for 2 of them,
so its been kinda lonely,
though I can get plenty of crafting done 
hehe.

Then yesterday was just a disaster from 
beginning to end.
1st broke the big FishTank,
2nd the Clutch starts to go on the Car,
3rd lost the Stone from my Engagement Ring 
while out shopping (for the new FishTank).

Anyway this week I decided to try something new 
with my card.
I enjoy a bit of painting on Canvas 
in different mediums with
Acrylics, Oils and Watercolours.
And I thought this Image looked so much 
like a painting that I wanted to 'Paint' it.
And with the time of year now it lent itself to the
Autumn/Fall colours.
Here is my project for this Week:-

The Theme at 
Glitter n Sparkle is:-
Use A Punch

Our Sponsors this week are:-


Ike'sArt who are offering
3 Images from their store

Stamping Chef who are offering
3 Images from their store

Bunny Zoe who are offering
a $10 Gift Certificate for their store


Fred She Said who are offering
a $10 Gift Certificate for their store

My project for this week is:-

Castle Digi Stamp 
from Ike'sArt
(one of our sponsors)

To began with I used an A4 Sheet
of White Card
(stash)
which I folded in half, to make my Base Card,
trimmed to 14.5cm x 20cm

I then printed off the Image on
White DC Paper,
and coloured it in 
using WaterColour Paints
(Artist Grafix Collection).


                                   - Chinese White
                                   - Lemon Yellow
                                   - Sap Green
                                   - Green Deep
                                   - Burnt Sienna
                                   - Raw Umber
                                   - Crimson Red
                                   - Vermilion
                                   - Prussian Blue
                                   - Lamp Black

Using Oak Brown pre-embossed Wood Effect Card,
(stash)
I cut four 2cm and four 1cm strips. 
Using the 2cm Strips I punched them out using
my Delicate Lattice Border Punch
(Tonic),
and cut them to the sizes I needed 
for the Inside Frame,
2x 11cm and 2x 7cm.
The 1cm strips I used as the Outside Frame 
2x 14cm and 2x 19.5cm,
then mitred the corners to fit each other.

To finish my Card off I added
Silver Bobbled Peel-Off Strips
around the edge of the 'Frame'.
