Girl in Bonnet

Hello, everyone! The Design Team at The Outlawz has showcased their creations for this week's Twisted Thursday challenge. Thursday's challenges are always "Anything Goes"........but there's always an optional "twist." This week's twist was to make a "birthday card."

If I haven't mentioned it in previous posts, sponsors for April's challenges are Nicecrane Designs and Paper Temptress.

For my card I selected a Nicecrane Designs image from a set called Adorable Girls. I printed out the image on white card stock and colored it with Copic markers. Next, using a die from Spellbinders Classic Squares Large, I cut the image into a square and using craft decorative scissors, I cut around all four edges. Then, using the next larger size from the same set, I cut another square. I used decorative scissors once again on all four edges and then sponged GKD Grass Green ink on those edges. I used this square panel to mat my image panel. I then put this aside while I worked on building up my base card.

I used purple card stock to make my base card. Next, I layered it with patterned paper. I die cut a frame in purple using Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles and adhered it to my base. The base card was now ready for placement and positioning of my focal point image.

I used dimensionals to adhere my focal image to my base card. The sentiment was computer generated and die cut with Spellbinders A2 Distressed Edges and then the edges were sponged with the same ink as those of the focal point.

To finish off my card I die cut ivy leaves in green card stock using Cheery Lynn Ivy Corner Flourish. I adhered the leaves to my card, overlapping parts of my focal image, and my project was complete.

I hope you enjoyed this post and were inspired to create and participate in this week's challenge at The Outlawz. Have a wonderful day!'

And one final note......wishing all a Happy and Blessed Easter!
