Tropical frame


Hello crafters, today I have another inspiration make for the Country View Challenge on the theme of 4 Legged Friend, hosted this month by Sue. 



I first stamped the sloth image (Creative Stamping magazine issue 57 from 2018) in Versafine Clair in Acorn and masked it. 
I used Distress inks and a brush to add a sky and greenery around the sloth. 



Then with many leaves and hibiscus die-cuts I created a frame around the sloth as if peeping through the jungle. The leaves and flowers are popped up on foam pads of different heights and the very fine ones are supported by the bigger die-cuts. 

Unlike my last card (here) this was time consuming, but a technique I do enjoy as something different, inspired by my Floating Frame card.


I have 1 more inspiration make for you next week, but don't delay and create a 4 Legged Friend (domestic or wild) project and link up to the Country View Challenge. You can enter up to 5 times and there is a £20 voucher for the Country View Craft shop. to win.

Heads up: Country View Challenges we will be taking a break in August and September whilst changes are made to the way the challenge is run.
