July Not Just Cards Blog Post

Hello everyone!

This is my post for the

Not Just Cards Challenge Blog

for July 2017

This month our sponsor is 

The Fantasy Art of Nikki Burnette

The image I worked with is an 

Adult Coloring Page

Karmina is the name of this magical being.

At first I wasn't sure what I should do with this image,

so I just started coloring her with my 

Fantasia colored pencils.

I also used my Prismacolor colorless blender pencil 

to blend the colors.

Once I had her colored I decided that I wanted to go with 

a magical theme.

I found a quote that I loved and stamped it with 

Sophisticated Script stamp sets from 

Concord & 9th

using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

I used both upper and lower case sets.

"Magic is believing in yourself.

If you can do that, you can make anything happen."

It takes a little time to stamp something like this

as each letter has to be stamped separately,

but I think it's worth the time and effort to get that

beautiful script.

I matted the image with a purple card stock and

mounted it to the 12 x 12 stamped card stock.

I added a few sequins and it was done.

I have made several 12 x 12 pieces for the walls at

"My Happy Place" 

which is the crafting studio where I do most of my creating.

All of the pieces have crafting or inspirational quotes on them and

I think this one will fit in perfectly.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you have been inspired to think outside the 

box and try something a little different.

I also hope you will join in the fun of this months challenge on the

Not Just Cards Challenge Blog

Come again soon.

Until then,

create something beautiful!
