One Stitch at a Time #190 Anything goes

Hi there and welcome to another wonderful challenge at

  One stitch at a time challenges 

and the theme this week is ANYTHING GOES

This week we are sponsored by the lovely Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet 

with a complete set of images that we used in challenge #188

 and the runner up gets a $3 prize.

But to win main prize you have to use a digi available from the site .

This week i was given a lovely image called Fancy Free and is made by Barbara Jensen Designs and available at the store.

I had great fun in colouring her as she was a digi era i have not used before as reminded me of the 80's but at the same time youngsters seem to be wearing similar these days ......

I used an 8 x 8 kraft card blank and then used a piece of paper from My Minds Eye from 21st street and then topped it with a piece of yellow card. Then i mounted my image coloured on Copic paper that didn't blend as well as i thought it would onto another piece of MME, yellow card and the MME dotty paper. Before mounting it at an angle on the card i added a purple ribbon with some blingy flowers and put four at the corners of the picture.

To finish the front off i added lilac flower/circle rhinestone combination in alternate lines round the edge of the image. Inside the card i wrote a poem for my 13 year old niece for her birthday as she just turned 13 last week.

It reads

To help you celebrate your special day

A little ditty i send your way

A little girl no longer seen

Just a young lady entering her teens

On your journey you will see

How much fun it is to be a teen

But be aware as you will soon see

Those pesky boys will be a tease

So dont be turned just follow your dreams

To be a vet or whatever you deem

So have lots of fun and times anew

And if one day you feel unsure

Your family will be there with snuggles galore

I then mounted it onto two sets of paper and put a couple of pink lilies at the corner and around the edges on two sides i added a little bit more of the lilac bling.

 I used the following Copic colour to colour my image
