WSC118 - Hello Spring

It's sketch time again at My Favorite Things and this week I've taken the sketch in a shabby chic direction!

I've used crayons and crackle paint to get lots of texture in my design today. 

Don't forget, you'll find all the details about this week's sketch and the PRIZES on offer, at the MFT Blog.

Here's my card...

I went with a pink, kraft and sno cone colour theme for this card. The main panel features stamps from Inspired by the Front Porch - Spring. I coloured with watercolour crayons, then applied a couple of thick layers of crackle paint. I wanted this panel to look quite grungy. One cool thing I noticed - my colouring was smooth, but when I brushed on the crackle paint it left brush strokes in the crayon - I like it!

My base layer was a little boring, and definitely not shabby enough, so I stamped it with Finishing Flourishes and the stitched border from Hearts and Stitches.

I had so much fun with the first cracked panel, that I made another one for this inside of my card!
