A GIFT OF A FLOWER – THE NEXT LEVEL – CHALLENGE 3

This week on The Next Level the Challenge is a Sketch with pretty curved detail which can either be cut away or matted and layered into the design. I decided to keep a solid front and chose as the basis of my design some really pretty paper from K & Co. called Chateau Florals. From this I chose a selection of other complimentary papers, all the rest being digital from my vastly growing stash. I have detailed on the Hints and Tips section of The Next Level how I select my papers for a design and this makes it very easy to pull a theme together.

The images I used are from the new collection from h'Anglar and feature a little boy and girl holding a pretty flower. I added some stitching to the front and chose to add just ribbon detail, the ribbon being from a past Raspberry Ribbons kit, and keep the rest of the card fairly embellishment free, as the papers themselves were quite busy.

On the reverse of the pull out tag is another image of the little boy holding the flower and inside the card I have matted and layered the papers and added more stitching.


I made a Box envelope to fit the card, making it slightly thicker this time to take the height of the ribbon comfortably.

The images were coloured with Copics and the colours used were :
Clothes : G000, G00, V91, V95, W1, E31, E43
Skin : E000, E00, E11, E50, R20
Flower : G21, G63, V91, V95
Hair : E55, E57

I hope you have time to leave a comment if you pass by.
