Time for another challenge at Truly Scrumptious and this we we have another of Mina's fabulous sketches with the extra option of embossing - any kind of embossing you like - it's up to you.
We have a fabulous prize in store for you this week from Digital Delights of a $10 voucher to spend in the store - a magical place filled with digi creations from all walks of life.
I used one of my new Hanglars (I've always loved hAnglars, but love 'em even more now I've got some - they are such a delight to colour). This little cutie is coloured with distress inks, and her wings sparkled using Stardust stickles. I cut here out and mounted her using foam on a frame cut with a Marianne creatable stencil. The pink debossed paper is from my 'bit box' and the coloured from the Crafty Individuals background paper pack - Trees. The border is cut with a MS deep punch and the flower made using the EK Success retro flower punch and Mulberry paper. I hand cut the leaves and cut the hearts using Spellbinder heart nesties. I cut several layers, stuck them together, stamped the sentiment on them (Lily of the Valley), inked the edges and covered them with crackle paint. I didn't want too much crackle effect so just used a thin layer - another experiment gone wrong - you can hardly see the crackles at all.
Distress inks used
Skin - Tattered Rose and Walnut stain
Clothes - Dusty Concord and Victorian Velvet
Hair - Vintage photo and Mustard seed
Shoes - Vintage photo
This is the fabulous sketch we worked with - check out the other DT's fabulous interpretations.

Heather, Thanks for not being perfect. As a newbie to crafting I'm struggling because I'm a little bit of a perfectionist. Someone who has been doing this a while and still occassionally has a oops moment, you make me feel that its okay to make mistakes. Thanks for the inspiration. Love the card and love the Hanglar stamp.
Beautiful card Heather. Gorgeous colouring of the image and love the flower also. Hugs Michele x
