It's Isabella Time!

At the risk of being repetitive, once again I can hardly believe that Wednesday has come around again!  It has been a full and somewhat hectic week in York, culminating in my computer throwing a major wobbly last night and me having to borrow Darling Daughter's laptop to post this.  Oh hum! Technology is a great thing, except when it doesn't work!

Have you checked out Isabella's new look Challenge Blog yet?  Not only is it beautiful, but Isabella has introduced lots of new links at the top of the page, so that you can access everything Isabella from one page.  And, of course, that's where we always love to see your challenge entries - we really enjoy seeing your creations each week. 

Additionally, this Wednesday only, Isabella's Sketchbook will be having a ONE DAY SALE, with all images at $2.00 so it's a perfect time to stock up on Isabella's images ready for your challenge entries.

This week, we are asking you to "Cut It Out" Use 3-D, paper tole or decoupage on your card.  I can't wait to see what my Teamies come up with - here's my 'take':

Image:  Isabella's Sketchbook, 'Seed Catalogue Cover'

Papers: October Afternoon.

 This is a really lovely vintage image, don't you think? I coloured the image with a mix of Copics (for the flower spray, border and title) and Prismacolor pencils (field scene). I printed the image out twice and coloured the flowers on both images, using one of the images to cut out the flowers and layer them, decoupage-style, over the bottom image, for depth. I apologise for the lack of detailed photograph this week.






 So, it's over to you now.  Please remember that you must use an Isabella's Sketchbook image for your challenge entry - sadly, entries that do not use an Isabella's Sketchbook image cannot be considered and will have to be removed from the challenge, which we don't like having to do.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT's creations - with such a talented bunch of ladies, there's bound to be lots of wonderfulness to inspire you.

I look forward to seeing your fabulous creations.

Happy crafting.
