ROP challenge - Gatefold & Stitching








This weeks challenge is to make a gatefold card, i have never made one of these before so this was quite a good one for me. The second part of the challenge was to use stitching on your card, i decided to get the sewing machine out for this. The papers used where given to me ages ago so i dont know what make they are. The image is from the greetings farm (i love these images there so lovely to colour)i used water colour pencils as always and i added stickles to the trim of her dress, bow, flowers in her hair and eyeshadow (but it doesnt show well in these pictures). i used nesties lables to matt and lay my image. The white flowers were from Tara and the silk pink ones ive had for years in my stash and have finally used them !!! The sentiment and bell images are also from the greetings farm (sorry about the pictures there abit dark)
