The Crafting Cafe Challenge Blog - First Challenge

Hi there

It's the big launch of The Crafting Cafe Challenge Blog.

The first challenge is up and running over here.

The Challenge is sponsored by LEJ Designs

 and you can visit her wonderful digi images here.

 

Now the First Challenge on the blog is nice and easy, Anything Goes! I have used a digi image from LEJ Designs called 'An Angels Touch' and it is available to buy from LEJ Designs website.

 

This is my card

It's a twisted easel card (only my second time doing one of these and I do quite like them). I used very muted colours, I was originally going to just stick to white on white, but decided that the wee touch of gold just set the card off.

 

This is a close-up of the image

 

I decided to try something a wee bit different with the wings and used some maribu feathers to decorate them. I think they look really effective and like a real angels wings (Yes - angels are real, and you won't change my mind!). I coloured the hair and skin with my promarkers and used gold mirricard for the backing. The butterflies are also from gold mirricard with some bling added.

 

This is the sentiment

 

Very fitting for the card. I have a guardian angel, but that is a long story for another day :) xx

 

Now pop on over to The Crafting Cafe Blog to enter your card, you might even win 4 fab digis from LEJ, and see some more inspiration from the other members of the DT. New wonderful inspiration will be posted throughout the month!

 

Love n Kisses
