Raspberry Ribbons Sketch 21 - Once Upon a Time…In ye days of olde, when knights were bolde…

Hmmmm, I’m not sure this card turned out how I wanted it to, my Dad likes it, but I’m not sure. I like the stamped images and my first attempt at distressed edges :o), it’s just the card and paper I’m a bit dubious about. But It’s done now and it’s for the Raspberry Ribbons challenge sketch 21 and also my third installment of my Once Upon a Time cards…


Ooops, forgot the "Once Upon a Time" Stamp !

From the base up...

• Stardream Pearlescent “Antique Gold” card.
• Bazzill card – Edges distressed with Brilliance “Coffee Bean” ink pad and Tim Holtz paper distresser.
• Scalloped Panel – Bazzill Card, Friskars “Threading Water” punch. Edges first gone round with with Brilliance “Coffee Bean” ink pad and then gone over again with Versamark pen and then heat embossed with Heat It Up Gold EP. Gold Organza ribbon.
• Top Panel – DCWV “Once Upon a Time” 8x8 pad, cut out with my largest deckled edge Megabilities. Gold silk Mirri card that was cut out by tracing round the deckled edge die with a fine embossing tool then cutting out by hand.
• Main Image – Whiff of Joy “Warrior Charlie” and “Charlotte’s Horse”, coloured with Derwent Coloursoft pencils and Sansodor. The “metal” parts (armour, shields etc) where gone over with Sakura Gelly Roll clear glaze pen. Oh and the swords on the little image where coloured with a silver gel pen. For the smaller image I used Deckled edge rectangle Nestabilities.
• Fleur de Lys – these where made from a small punch I have (unknown make) and then heat embossed with Heat It Up Gold EP. I only did one layer of EP as I wanted an uneven finish to make them look old.

So there you have it, I’ve got to wait for three stamps to be delivered before I can carry on with my little series, one of the stamps has got to come from America, so I probably won’t get it until the end of next week :o( Oh well in the mean time there’s always Tilda :o)
Take care & keep smiling
