Hey Diddle Diddle

This week, Simon Says Stamp and Show...Ever After. I've gone for a nursery rhyme theme after coming across a scene on the Graphics Fairy's site.

"Hey diddle diddle, The cat and the fiddle..."

 The background is built up with multiple layers of sponged distress inks and left to dry.

"View showing dimension in decoupage"

 I printed a few copies of the image, then cut out all the characters and layered them up individually so that I could arrange them on my own background.

"Perfect pearls shimmer"

Various stamps are used with distress inks and brushed with Perfect Pearls to achieve the shimmery otherworldy effect. Distress markers are used to add some shading beneath the dog, cat & dish to tie them in to the background, the scene is matted onto thick purple card, and a couple of strips of lace are added top and bottom. The lace was a fabby present from my friend Lee - thank you :-)

We have sunshine today - whoopee!!
