Elphine House Australia Challenge DT Card

Hi there and thanks for stopping by. Well today is Wednesday so that means we have a brand new challenge for you at Elphine House Australia and this week we have a photo inspiration theme for you. 

The prize for this fortnight is two stamps of your choice from Elphine House Australia.

 

I decided not to make a card this time but I made a wall hanging instead. I got some cardboard and cut out the shape by hand and then I painted it using white acrylic paint.

The gorgeous image that I used is Daisy and I coloured her using my ProMarkers, FlexMakers and AquaMarker pens.

The DP is a mixture of Prima, DCWV and Tim Holtz and I’ve painted the edges and then distressed them using scissors and inked them up using Brushed Corduroy distress inks.

The flowers I made myself using my slice machine and also a scrap piece of ribbon.

Challenges I’m entering this card into are as follows:
