This week at CRAFT Challenge we have a very special challenge for you. This week's sponsor is Your Special Delivery and Gina has given us her latest digistamp to work with. It is depicting several nursery rhymes and we felt it would be ideal to therefore make this challenge 'Nursery Rhymes'.
For this card I used the said digistamp, which I coloured with waterpaint. I had to doublecheck what the colours and their order in the rainbow are with my eldest to make it as true to life as possible. I then searched for the text of some of the rhymes I could recognise on the web and added those to a nursery rhyme background I found. The other backing papers are actually misprints from a paperpack from Sparky's Scratches, a Christmas freebie tartan in red and green, but due to ink running low on the cartridge came out in these gorgeous colours instead. I have scanned this one for future use, you can't look a given horse in the mouth now, can you?
I then added some extra details from the recipe challenge at One Stitch At A Time: 1 ribbon, 2 backing papers, 2 brads or eyelets. 1 of the brads used has gone through the ribbon to hold it into a bow shape.
On the inside of the card I repeated the backing paper from the front. I edited this in Corel Photopaint to add the lyrics of the nursery rhymes again as well as a birthday message for my youngest nephew. This is a very early birthday card for him as he does not have his birthday till November!
As I used the recipe from One Stitch At A Time, I will also be entering into their challenge this week. Who knows, I might just like this week, win again and be in with a GDT spot. I'm really feeling very honoured with that.
