It is time for another challenge for Team B at Through The Craft Room Door
The Sponsor for this challenge is Sherry West Art and the prize is 2 digital images from her store
Sherry is just in the process of setting up a new store which is due around the middle of October.
For this challenge I chose to work with this cute image Love Cats.
I coloured the image with Promarkers and used pencils to create a sunset scene in the background. I chose a set of 72 Arteza Expert pencils for my birthday from my sister and cracked them open. I'm not entirely sure my skills are there yet but I will keep practicing. They are blendable pencils and I was really pleased that I was able to use a Promarker blending pen on them to soften the lines.
I used the latest sketch #630 from Sketch Saturday for the layout.
I used an A4 sheet of a deep red card for the base. To this I added some offcuts of papers. The small red hearts I have distressed the edges with a black ink pad. The black paper has hearts that are flocked so it feels lovely. I used a Fiskars punch on the edge and added some self adhesive ribbon.
I matted the image on a scrap of black card and raised on 3D foam. The anniversary sentiment I layered onto a scrap of black card and added a small red heart puffy sticker. Finally following the layout I added a sentiment to the top left hand corner and satin fabric heart at the bottom right of the image.
Our challenges at Through the Craft Room Door are always Anything Goes so easy to enter. I hope you will join us.
