OSAAT #174 - Anything Goes


Anything Goes this week! Hurray - everyone's favourite theme. Come and join us over at One Stitch at Time. It was time for Josephine to pick an image for the two of us to use and she chose Claire's Christmas Rooftop. You can get this at the Hope Jacare section of the Stitchybear Digi Outlet.

I coloured the image with Promarkers, using Distress Ink on the sky. The stars were glittered with Sakura's diamond gelly roll pen. The pen adds just the right amount of glimmer to the stars. The snow on the roof and the window sill is done with Floracraft's diamond dust and a touch of glue.The card blank is by Craft UK and the beige card is by Papermill. I printed a sheet of gold/silver stars from a free download site and matted it on to the beige card. I cut the image with a Spellbinders die and matted that on to the beige card too. I placed it to the top left on the design and added a silver Christmas tree, cut with a Memory Box die, to the panel on the right.

A small neat card which won't cost too much for postage.

The winner of this week's challenge will win all the images that the design team used on challenge 172 - lots of beautiful images so you must check out the OSAAT challenge blog to see how you can win.

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:
