WMS Harriet and a few other Challenges.



Hi all, I have a card today in honour of World Card Making Day, which was Last weekend, but, I'm horribly late as usual!

Waltzingmouse Stamps has a digi freebie HERE, where you can enter a challenge and win a stamp set of choice! So, I thought, and thought..... and thought a bit more, and came up with this card, using Harriet, and WMS Victorian Fripperie stampset.



I have used the border stamp from the Victorian Fripperie set and Versamark Bamboo Leaves ink for the circle, and coloured Harriet in with Faber Castell Watercolour Pencils.



She's a real cutie, but it took a lot longer using pencils to colour her than my Promarkers! I have a little issue in that using my promarkers it makes the ink that the image is printed with run, so pencils it was!


I added some gems and a silky gold ribbon to finish the card, and I'm very pleased with the end result!


Harriet is layered up onto some green bazzill, and cut with Nestabilities Labels 4. Have used Small standard circles also by Spellbinders Nestabilities.


For the sentiment I have used Oven Fresh Gingerbread Joy stamp set, and Nestabilities Fancy tags. Finally, I used Sage Versamagic Chalk ink to distress around the edges of the sentiment and the circle panel.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

WMS Harriet Challenge

Annabelle Stamps

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

Fab n Funky Challenge

Basicgrey Challenges

Thanks for looking and have a great day
