DYSU - Clouds & Skies

 Morning all, today I have a card for the new challenge at DYSU, and this week we would like to see you use...

Blue Skies and Clouds in your creations! So you can interpret this as you will, I took my colour inspiration from the picture.

i was given the delightful image from one of our generous sponsors this week, Crafty Sentiments. This image is called Scilla, and I have coloured in using Pro and flexmarkers.

I created the label sentiment using a label punch from Stampin' Up! and the sentiment from Uniko Studios Fontiments Birthday set.

I then created the little flowers using the small punches from Stampin' Up Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack, and topped with some Opal pearl drops.

The papers are a combination of Melissa Frances, Pink Paislee and the blue sky paper is unknown from my stash. It has the look of a rather stormy sky, so appropriate for us here in the U.K, being so sodden and windswept right now! To create the clouds I cut two different sized cloud shapes in some scrap card, and used them as a stencil to sponge Stormy Sky Distress Ink around the edges. Then i filled the cloud space with some Glossy Accents, and sprinkled some Glamour dust over them. They are lovely and sparkly in real life.

I cut the image using a Go Create die, and used a Martha Stewart punch on the patterned papers layered onto some peachy seam binding. Finally I added some Glamour dust to her skirt, and the little flowers in her hair for some extra sparkle.
