Deep Ocean Challenges - New Design Team - 'Sporty & Outdoor'

Hello there - today I have a bit of an announcement to make, as I am going to be part of a new design team over at Deep Ocean Challenges. If you've never seen the site, then you're in for a real treat. The style of it is just amazing & their breath taking header really gives you a taste of whats to come. They have some unbelieveably talented designers there, who have fabulous inspirational creations & blogs for you to drool over! ha ha. Anyway - so chuffed to have been asked to be a part of such an accomplished team & can't wait to get started...
 
...So without further ado, this challenge is 'Sporty & Outdoor'. As an ex-dancer I tend to favour the more pretty, visual sports - so I reached straight for my trusty 'Ice Tilda!'

 
I used my new Go Kreate dies to make the shaped cardblank, the pretty background stamp is by Stamps Away, all coloured with DI's.
 
 
Distress Inks:
Skin: Tattered Rose, Old Paper
Cheeks: Fired Brick
Hair: Old Paper, Walnut Satin
Tilda's Outfit & Skates: Weathered Wood
Ear muffs, socks & hand warmer: Pumice Stone
Thatched roof: Brushed Cordroy, Frayed Burlap, Walnut Satin,
Bushes/ Greenery: Shabby Shutters, Bundled Sage, Brushed Cordroy, Frayed Burlap
Windows & Sky: Tumbled Glass, Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone
Path: Pumice Stone, Frayed Burlap
Ladies Dress: Fired Brick
Shading: Pumice Stone, Black Soot
 
 
Doo Hickeys Dies:
 So Wrapped 'Lovely'
Vintage Tag
Lovely Fence
Heart Swirl
 
 
The tags are decorated with metal spacers painted white & set with pearls
Paper, Butterflies & Letters: Pion Design
 
 
Sentiment reads 'live from....the heart!'

MINI TUTORIAL:
Out of the box technique using a frame die:
Materials:
Go Kreate Large Frilly Frame #5
Magnolia Stamp 'Ice Tilda'
Stamps Away Individual Stamp (L 1024)
Staz-on Ink Pad 'Jet Black'
 
Stamp Tilda as usual leaving enough space to her right.
Stamp the image again onto a piece of scrap paper (cheap printer paper works well!).
Cut out the image & position it over the origional Tilda (you can use removable spray adhesive to hold it in place if you wish).
Now stamp the background image over the top, in this case slightly to the right of Tilda.
Line up the edge of the cutting matt with the 2 points where Tilda meets the background so she is partly outside of the cutting area. (In my case the top point is just above Tilda's left ear muff & the bottom point is the tip of the left ice skate.)
PLEASE NOTE: This will vary depending on where the background stamp is in relation to Tilda.
Run through the die cutting machine, remove the die & finish cutting out the rest of Tilda with scissors or a sharp craft knife.
You should now have your finished image - Colour as desired!
