Me time is when i get up to date with a few of my dt commitments and family is all taking care of themselves, kids included and i get to do what i love- CRAFT! I got myself an airbrush system and have been itching to use it, but am also terrified and intimidated, but decided that i would give it a tentative try today, first time ever that i have turned it on or tried anything like this so be kind. I masked a few clouds in the sky behind my image, i know. too soft, and then i added little hills in the grass that are hardly visible and then added a few blades of grass over that since you could hardly see the little dips in the grassy field, ah well, better luck next time.
I followed the sketch on: Magnolia down under
Paper pieced the dress and the hat, adding a few shadows, so it fits the bill for Totally Tilda challenge,
Sketchy colors wanted blue beige and white
Stamptacular Sunday want you to "Pile it on" which is what i normally do, so no problems there, at least five layers.
Cupcake craft also looking for loads of layers
Stamp and scrap want you to have a tag somewhere on your creation
Papertake weekly spots and stripes, her hat and dress and some of the dp have stripes and spots.
Wow i dont think that i have ever managed to squeeze a card into so many challenges, and really this was a complete fluke. I used "Tilda in rubber boots" item # 3005 available from Diana's store Magnolia-licious.
the tag was cut using a new Marianne Creatable die, the image i used a Octagon Nestie to cut it out with. All the embellies, flowers, ribbons, pearls and charm are all from my stash.
have a great week

You did a lovely job on your airbrushing! Do not be so hard on yourself. I could easily make out the clouds. Very pretty card.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable, Paola! Your airbrushing tentative is a thorough success if you ask me, no idea why you are not satisfied, the clouds and teh grass look amazing and seem so real! Great paper-pieceing result on Tilda's dress and I just love all your embellies, make this card so elegant and fancy!
