Midway Post, Challenge #35 at Open-Minded Crafting

It's Saturday, 
which means its time again for the Midway Post
over at Open-Minded Crafting.

Well College is going amazing cant believe how easy I am finding it all.
wish I had thought of doing this years ago.

Also this week we have celebrated
a Niece's 1st Birthday.
So yes it was a 'Frozen' Themed Party
for which all the males seem to take in their stride very well lol.

This weeks Theme is out of my comfort zone
and I still am not really to sure what
Shabby Chic is,
but here is my Interpretation of it,
hope you like it.

The Theme at
Shabby Chic

Our Sponsors are:-

All Dressed Up who are offering
2 Images.

Kith And Kin Digital Stamp Co who are offering
3 Images.

Ppinky Dolls Art who are offering
3 Images.


The East Wind who are offering
3 Images.

My Project for this
week is:-
Funky Antique Lady Doll Digi Stamp
from The East Wind 
(one of our sponsors)

To begin with I started with an A4 sheet of Stone Card
(stash)
which I folded in half and Cut to make a 14cm Square Card.

Next I cut a Piece of brown Script Paper
(stash) 
so that it fitted on the Stone card.
And using 5cm Cream Lace
(Craft - Range)
I covered the Left hand-side and the Top of the Paper.

Next I used some Vintage Flower Paper
( Electique - Fynmark)
which I Die-Cut with Concentric Tag #3
(Go Kreate)
And from some Pearlised Bronze Brown Paper
(Ross Papers)
I Die-Cut out a Delicate Doily Edge
(Molly Moo Dies - Aly's Inky Fingers)

Next I printed off the Image 
on White DC Paper.
coloured the Images
using my Promarker Pens.

                                                            Ivory                - Eyeshadow/Hair Comb/Wrap

                                                            Satin                 - Skin
                                                            Vanilla              - Skin
                                                            Blush                - Cheeks
                                                            Dusky Rose     - Lips
                                                            Cyan                 - Eyes
                                                            Pastel Yellow  - Hair
                                                            Mustard          - Hair
                                                            Sandstone       - Eyeshadow/Hair/
                                                                                        Hair Comb/Dress
                                                            Cocoa               - Eyeshadow/Hair Comb/
                                                                                        Dress/Gloves/Brooch/Bag      
I also used a Metallic Gold Gel Pen,
on the Hair Comb, Brooch, Bag,
and I also used it to go around the Swirls of the Frame.

Then I Die-Cut it out using a Scalloped Oval
(X-Cut)

To distress everything I used Tom Holtz Distress Inks.
On the Digi Image Oval I started off with Antique Linen Ink
then built the colour up with Vintage Photo Ink
and finally used Walnut Stain Ink for the very outside.
On the Tag I used the Vintage Photo Ink 
and finished the build up with Walnut Stain Ink.
On the Doily Edge I just used the Black Soot Ink. 

Then I put my card together Layering it up,
using a Cream Feather 
(stash)
under the Image.

Finally I added a Cream Paper Rose
( SIL - Craft Shop)
and 2 Brown Skeleton Leaves
(Habico)
on top of the Tag.
