Make do and mend

It's new release inspiration day at All Dressed Up.



I've coloured the image with Copics.

With the theme of the sentiment, I thought I'd distress the image and design paper.  But more than that i decided to cut slips into the image card, distress those and then add some faux stitching.


The design paper is from First Edition.  I've added a selection of buttons from my stash to go with the sewing theme.

You can find more inspiration on the challenge blog and in the Facebook group today.

Feeling Snappy......

We've sponsored this month by All Dressed Up!

The sketch made me think about photos and I knew there was an All Dressed Up Girl with a camera :)







I've teamed her up with Perfect Day, Sight Seeing in Paris and Sea View.



This is our sketch for May.


The images were cut out with dies and matted onto black card.  Afterwards I though I should have done them as little polaroid photos, but it was a bit late haha



There are some scraps of paper in pink and blue, great way to use them up ;)
I've cut a heart out of the same pink scraps (Studio Light paper) with a die.  The sentiment was made from a Tim Holtz sticker matted onto a scrap of Sarntoro paper and some more black card (hand cut).

Thanks for popping by today, we hope to see you at the challenge.
