#110 Anything Goes

Today's challenge over at One Stitch at a Time is Anything Goes. My team mate Josephine chose  Sylvie's image of Swans (from the Stitchybear Digital Stamps Shop) for us to use and it was a very challenging image to colour............or not! I gave them just a few tinges of grey with one of my Promarkers and smudged it - mine are not perfectly white swans. I used Distress Inks to make the water and then cut the image with a Spellbinders grand nestie. I mounted it on to the larger size nestie in navy blue. One of my favourite Cuttlebug embossing folders came into play as I embossed the white paper with reeds and birds. The embossed panel was matted on to pale blue card from Papermill. I placed some white feathers just underneath the nesties to frame the bottom of the image. The card blank is a large square from Craft UK.

Our sponsor this week is Creative Craft World with 3 Promarkers as the prize and there will be a Stitchybear collaboration prize too along with $3 runner up prize. Remember to read the rules about the prizes on the challenge blog.
