Rainbow Lady's Challenge #134


It's the first challenge of the year from Rainbow Lady and this year she has a new design team and there'll be sponsors too. This month it's a voucher from Joanna Sheen - so do join in if you can. The theme for the new challenge is 'New to Me'. This can be new crafty goodies or a new card fold or technique - the choice is yours. I've chosen to use the new Sheena Douglass stamps which I didn't manage to get at the workshop in Milton Keynes - cancelled due to the snow - but I ordered direct from Sheena and they did arrive in time for Christmas. I've coloured the main image with Pro Markers and added some colour to the background with chalks. The backing paper was made from the reverse side of some scrapbook papers in my stash - stamped and clear embossed with the beer mug, which is a Crafter Companion stamp. I also stamped one and cut it out. The froth was made using liquid applique which I've had for yonks but keep forgetting it's there. The strip down the side is just black paper and the 'studs' are punched from mirri card and scored across the centre with a ball tool.
Thanks very much for visiting today.

Beautiful card Beryl, Love how you've coloured the stamp. The backing paper looks great with it and that strip is a great idea. Love it. I've quite a few of Sheena's stamp, but I didn't get that one. Hugs x ChrisB
