This week's challenge at One Stitch at a Time is Anything Goes. It does exactly what it says.. you can enter any kind of project you lie, using whatever materials you want. :)
For my creation, I made a pretty thank you card using this sweet Blue Bells image by Gingerloft:
I coloured the image in with my Prismacolor pencils for a nice soft effect and cut it out with my favourite Spellbinders die:
To decorate my card I decided to have a play with my washi tapes. I spent last weekend at a great scrapbooking retreat with some online crafty friends and one of the classes we did was on ways to use washi tapes. I loved the idea of covering a piece of card with washi tape to make a patterned background and thought I'd try it out on this card. :)
I added a stamped greeting (using a Stampin' Up! stamp) and mounted my die-cut image on foam pads.
You don't need to use a Stitchy Bear product to enter the OSAAT challenge but if you do you'll have a chance to win our main prize. Entries not using a Stitchy Bear product will be entered into the draw to win a $3 gift voucher to the Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet.

I adore bluebells Ali - I can smell them by just looking at the picture. We had a wood full of them nearby when I was a little girl. Your card has made me think back - this is a gorgeous image.

Oh Ali, I just love your creation...so lovely with all the soft colours. This card could be a card for many occasions, not just thank you...you have inspired me to pull out my washi tape and create something too.

This is gorgeous, Ali! Love the softer effect you get with the pencils. The stripey background and die cut are fabulous too.
Loving this Ali, what a great way to use the washi tape. The pencil colouring certainly creates a beautiful softness on the digi, I can almost fee the bluebells moving in the breeze :) Hugs Jane xx
