It's challenge time at Whimsy...

It's Wednesday so that means it's time for a new Whimsy Stamps Inspirations challenge! Our theme this week is Monochromatic.

I have used a fab image from Lia Stampz called Haley and is available to purchase here. I have used her to decorate a blank kraft gift bag. I opened the image in Word and used a text box to add the word Winter to the board Haley is holding. To highlight all the brown I have used touches of black. The pearls started life white and I have coloured them with a black Promarker. I will definitely do this again, the ink dried so quickly. The only 'colour' on the image is a bit of Frosted Lace Stickles...

I added some ribbon and twine to a little paper clip to seal the bag, hopefully to prevent peeking by the recipient ;-)


Don't forget you don't have to use a Whimsy image to enter the challenge (it would be great if you did though!) The prize this week is...


Don't forget also...As well as a random winner being chosen each challenge one lucky player who has used a Whimsy Stamps image (rubber or digital) will have the opportunity to be a Guest Designer for a future challenge. If you have used a Whimsy Image and would like to be a future guest please add GDT to your name when entering. The Guest Designer will be able to choose a digi stamp of their choice from the store to create their guest card too!

Remember anyone can enter our challenge and we don't mind you combining with other challenges either!
All we ask is that you add a link in your blog post to tell your friends you entered the Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Challenge.


Supplies:
Image/Sentiment - Haley by Lia Stampz
