Hi Everyone, it’s time for the July 2019 challenge at AAA Birthday. Come along and visit our blog and see what the Design Team has created and a special welcome to Michelle Lupton as this months Guest Designer.

This months challenge theme is For the Girls and what could be more girly than a pretty queen. As soon as I saw this digital stamp I knew I wanted to use the paper piecing technique and I had the perfect paper packs from Sunny Studio Stamps (see section Dress below).

Image

• Print out A Day for Daisies digi stamp Fairy Queen Violet onto copic friendly card stock.
  • Wings – Copics B00, BG000, BV000 and Prismacolor pencil PC1026
  • Skin – Copics E000, E00, E02, E04, RV21

• Print image onto four paper sheets and hand cut out individual layers.
• Before adhering dress layers add some shading with Prismacolor pencils
  • PC995 Mulberrry, PC994 Process Red, PC1014 Deco Pink

background

• Print out another image onto copy paper or masking paper and cut out image. Adhere mask over image (use temporary adhesive if using copy paper as the mask).
• Sponge a light layer of Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade to background then place flower stencil on top. Sponge Distress Oxide Twisted Citreon over stencil.

sentiment

• Stamp Happy Birthday from the Mama Elephant – Occasional Labels stamp set using Versafine Clair Ink in Acorn. I used this rich brown to tie in with hair colour.

I hope this has inspired you to join the AAA Birthday Challenge for this month. Looking forward to seeing your creations,
