The Willow Lady



Over at the Craft Bubble forum Rosie set us our 'just for fun' sketch which I used for my card layout. The backgrounds were all created using Inktense Blocks. I painted on the background and then used a stencil to add some detail. The image is my favourite Clarity stamp called 'The Willow Lady' and I created the reflection by using my brayer, a trick I have seen Barbara Gray use many a time. I decided to keep to the rustic distressed look by mounting it onto a corrigated kraft cardblank and some twine. I have designed this card with the following challenges in mind:
The PlayDate Cafe: Plum, Pear and Mouldy Cheese
Craft Your Days Away: Distressing
The Stampman Challenge: Embellish it!
Simon Says: Anything Goes!
