Dream Valley Something Old, Something New

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with my DT project for Dream Valley Challenges where our theme this fortnight is 'Something Old, Something New' so I chose some of my favourite old papers, My Minds Eye Stella papers I adore and a stamp that is technically new because I havent used it at all before this month because the animals scared me to colour them! I coloured them with Promarkers and Flexmarkers and cut round them with a nestie. I then cut a frame from Coredinations Distress cardstock which complimented my papers. I then added another colour of Distress cardstock to make panels with papers on top and placed in each corner. I then used American Crafts polka dot ribbon, buttons and a 3D vellum butterfly as my embellishments and lastly added three heart pearls on each corner of the image.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
I love Promarkers: Anything Goes
My Mums Craft Shop: All the Threes (Three lots of three things)
Stampavie and More: Animals
Shopping Our Stash: Our Favourite things
House of Gilli: Your Favourite Colour Combo
Totally Stampalicious: Anything Goes
Use Your Stuff: Polka Dots
Little Claire's Designs: Best Friends
The Secret Crafter: Animal Antics

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments, I really appreciate them all :-)
