AHOY it’s another AnnaBelle Bling Challenge!

~ lostinpaper

Welcome back to another AnnaBelles Stamps Bling Challenge!  I honestly had sooo much fun putting this card together and that’s me who shys away from sketch challenges, I’m usually a colour girl!  I finally got a chance to try out Sue’s fabulous ‘fur’ technique that she showed at her tutorial Copic Textures (tt004).  Awesome!  There is a new tutorial every Tuesday so head on over to the Stamp Embellish Create social site and take a peek!

More BIG news today we are welcoming a new Belle, I’ve long been a fan and am totally in awe of her colouring skills, it’s so exciting to have Danielle Daws join our team.  Please visit  her blog HERE and say a welcome hi, and dont’ forget to say a big hello to the rest of the team too, they are FABulous!  You can find their links in my sidebar.

    1. Hi Chunyuan,
      For the front of the card I used kraft paper that I cut into strips after stamping it with AnnaBelles Background stamp and then distressed the edges. It was easy to piece together like planks and then just draw the ‘nails’ with a Memento Dual Marker (Rich Cocoa).
      Hope this is helpful. Therese
