I made this for today's colour challenge, real red, basic black and Kraft....
Main image stamped three times, twice on water colour paper and once on Kraft. I cut out the tree stump from the Kraft and ran it through the cuttlebug with the distressed lines folder. Water coloured the mouse - black and the bird - real red and ruby red.. Layered over top of the main base image. Punched out the leaves from Kraft. added the puffy paint and stickles to the leaves and bg. Inked edges creamy caramel. Matted with black nesty rectangle. stitched around edges. main card is 5 x 5 white, next is basic black, then Kraft. Added the musical and the striped dp. Musical panel was CB with script folder and the striped was CB with distressed lines folder. Stitched around edges and inked with real red. Added the Kraft paper strip and layered black ribbon over top. Attached the 4 black large brads. Sentiment stamped on w/c paper and coloured with creamy caramel, matted with Kraft and stitched. added red rhinestones and the puffy paint and stickles. Sentiment and image are up on pop dots for dimension.
