One Stitch at a Time Challenge 130

This week at One Stitch at a Time, the challenge is 'Under 18s'. So, you could make a card for a child, or maybe even just be inspired by one. I've gone for a bit of both ...

Our sponsor this week is


This week I chose a lovely and unusual fairy image from Pookie Designs called Fae 1.

I added the wording in Photoshop Elements before printing. I coloured the image with Promarkers, cut it with my circle cutter then added some Distress Ink in Mustard Seed by sponging around the edge, then added a more subtle shading towards the image using an Ink Duster brush. The background paper is from Papermania, and I've sponged on some Distress Ink in Peeled Paint before adding the matted image and  a doily.

The wording is a quote from a book called Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae. It's a book I've become very familiar with this past year, as one of the boys I work with loves it. If it's available, he'll push you onto a chair, hand you the book then touch your lips in a silent command to 'Get reading,'. The image, when I saw it, seemed perfect for the wording. So, thanks to that child for the inspiration, and I've got a card suitable for just about anyone, but definitely for a child. 

I hope you can join us this week.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
