The Rose Quartz Castle

 

 

Once upon a time there lived a princess in a rose quartz castle after moving out of her evil step-mother's house......

Hello and welcome.  I'm guest designing over at Park Hopping My Happy Place challenges this month and the theme is Let's Celebrate.  Be inspired by the castle's pictured or you can use any other theme park related inspiration.  For my card, I chose to go be inspired by ALL of  the Disney© theme park castle and dug out an Impression Obsession digital stamp called Castle With Swing (NBUS).  It's part of their Gary Robertson line of digital images so if you haven't tried their digital stamps, you really should.  The detail is amazing! 

After I printed it onto Neenah white card stock, I pulled out my Castle Arts watercolor pencils and got to coloring.  Now with the way my migraines have been lately, this did take me about two weeks to color.  Once the coloring was finished, I layered it, added silver mini brads and then distressed the edges of the layered panel using my Tim Holtz paper distresser then set aside.  I then pulled out my MFT brick wall stencil, paper pouncers and mowed lawn distress ink to create the card's background.  I then adhered my layered image using pop up glue dots for a little dimension.  The final touch was crystal ice stickles highlighting the water, crown and purple mushroom.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.  I hope you can join us at Park Hopping My Happy Place for this month's challenge.
