When this new image came out at the beginning of September I had a few ideas for it. So here I am today presenting my second idea for it.
The image is called Follow Your Dreams and is now available on Etsy.
I've coloured the image in sepia tones using ProMarkers and even sketched in some clouds in the same colours in the background. I think you can just see them in this close up.
The die is definitely a fancy one from Spellbinders - it took a while to extract the card from the die :D
Once I'd managed to do that I distressed it with Antique Linen distress ink from Tim Holtz.
The design papers which have been distressed then layered up are from Santoro Gorjuss and Lili of the Valley. The sentiment is from one of their art pads and I've added some sepia tones to this too.
Finishing touches to this one are two different types of lace. The one at the bottom of my card has been in my stash for a while. The top lace can be found at Live and Love Crafts along with the white clay hearts.
Before I go I just need to remind you we have two different challenges going on at All Dressed Up. he challenge on the blog is Anything Goes with an All Dressed Up image. The second is Summer Colours on the All Dressed Up Facebook Group.
Hope you like my second bit of inspiration with this image
