Funny Sunflower

 


After a 6 month break I am back creating for The Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge.


The Ning group has closed and all the challenges will be moving to a new blog that is being set up at present. The Progressive freebie is being hosted on the Facebook group this month. If you have previously taken part in the last month's challenge you will be automatically sent the following month's image. If however you have not taken part before you can head to the group, request the image and take part.


This month we have been given the super cute image Funny Sunflower from 
The Paper Shelter. 

The pack includes a pre-coloured image and the black line are to colour yourself. I of course opted to colour it myself with Promarkers and added some pencil shading.

I created a base layer by adding a sentiment from Desert Diva to the background. I then copied the main flower head and the central face to create 2 more layers to decoupage the image and raised on foam pads.

The base card has a layer of textured paper inked around the edges. The glitter border and glittered sunflower are from DCWV.  

I added some bee, ladybird & dragonfly stickers to embellish the background and add a few more little friends. This image really makes me smile so I think the sentiment is just perfect.

Card Details -


Size - 6” Square

Digital Image - Funny Sunflower (The Paper Shelter)

Colouring Medium - Promarkers & Arteza Pencils

Digital Sentiment - Old Freebie (Desert Diva)

Embellishments - Glittered border & Chipboard shape (DCWV), Foam insect stickers



I would like to enter this card into the following challenges (in Alphabetical Order)
