Todays card has been created for two Challenges, Mo's "All Grey" and Cute Card Thursday Challenge "Flowers" and felt using this image from Mo was easy to cover the all grey challenge, as most nuns are dressed in one colour, and I should know having spent many years as a young girl attending an all girls Convent School in Lewisham in the 50's. And yes the nuns could be like this and fun as well, they werent serious all the time.
Ive printed this image onto white card and then coloured it with my copic pens, after which I used one of my Nestabilitie label dies to cut it out then I drew around the edge of the largest one onto grey card to create a mount for it. The sentiment is one of Hampton Art stamps and felt it was appropriate for this image, Ive done exactly the same with this as I did with the image.
The base card is a 8"x 8" white card with a first layer of grey card, and one of four papers from my Nitwit downloads, this first paper is an all over grey design, and for the second, third and fourth layers are all different check designs with one of my deep edged flower border punches from Martha Stewart. These were then stuck down the card with a piece of lace stuck to the centre of this.
I then positioned my image in the centre and my sentiment to the bottom right hand side. To finish of Ive created two flowers from some of the left over paper, with a grey brad and flower spacer through the centres they were then stuck to the card either side of my image with some silicone glue and some punched out grey leaves positioned underneath them.
