Hi there, this is the first time I have posted on my blog since September, 2016. I was diagnosed with severe Osteoporosis last year and needed two total hip replacements, which I have now had and am recovering now, and I am able to resume my card making. I made this card to enter into the June 2017, theme challenge "Toy soldiers or Nutcrackers" from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, http://52cct.blogspot.com. I used red cardstock for the base of the card and stamped two images of the Tim Holtz blueprint stamp, toy soldier, onto white card, I used Tim's distress tool to distress the edges of the white card and shaded it with "peeled paint" distress ink pad. I coloured the toy soldiers with Faber Castille water colour pencils and used a piece of glitter ribbon to use on the side for a bit of glitter. Hope you all like this card.
Welcome back - good to know you're recovering. I think your toy soldiers are just super. Love the distressed edges. Thanks so much for playing along with our Theme challenge at Christmas Card Throwdown. Deborah, DT.
ReplyDeleteI love the sketchy, distress look of this image and card. Glad you're well enough to get back to card making. Thanks for joining us at the Christmas Card Throwdown.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your troubles but pleased to hear you are crafting again. That must feel good. It's a fun card and the glittery ribbon adds a lovely bit of sparkle.
