I combined yesterdays sketch challenge, today's Ways to use it challenge (use Silver) and the holiday Challenge Extravaganza - #13 - paper tole. I stamped main image twice on whisper white, coloured face, hands and hair with prismacolor pencil crayons and gamsol and water coloured the rest with reinkers. Cut out top part of the pot, flower and bee and popped up (paper tole). Sponged edges of the white and red paper. Used ticket corner punch on the white, matted with red and silver. Added the heart brads. Main card is 6 1/2" x 5 1/2" riding hood red, next is metallic silver. The large striped panel is My Mind's eye "Kiss and Tell", I overlay-ed the silver hearted vellum - to soften the colours. Smaller striped panel is riding hood red, silver and SU dp, I ran this panel through the cuttlebug with the heart EF. The smaller strip is RR, Silver, RR and vellum. The white, red and vellum edges were sponged with RR. I stitched around three of the panels. Attached the RR and Silver photo corners and brads. Also attached the Stylized silver circle label holder, 1" punch circle, heart brads and the silver corded bow.
