This is the sketch.
The second challenge is another one for 'Pixie's Snippets Playground'
The snippet used was the focal layer, which had originally been the size of a full card front, but I had made a boo boo and had chopped a piece off, which then made it too small. So it has been lying around ever since, but it worked out the right size for the sketch card.
I used a new stencil that arrived yesterday. It was a Crafter's Workshop stencil, called, 'Four Feathers'
and it is two feathers, each with two layers (or four separate) feathers.
First, I sponged the base feather with lilac pigment ink and then I used some new Cosmic Shimmer 'Gold Pearl' texture paste through the top feather layer and heat embossed the sentiment in WOW 'Gold Pearl' embossing powder. The sentiment was Clearly Besotted's 'Fancy Feathers'.
I finished the whole thing by drawing a fine line border around the edges with a gold glitter gel pen and a pearl on the 'stem' of the feather.
Thank you for visiting! You make my day with your lovely comments! Have a great one! Hazel xx
