Manda’s SGC challenge isn’t easy: she dares us to ink, chalk, paint and mist everything we can think of. This is my entry, using the Beggahuna sketch that was included in the kit.

The pp is pretty much covered in GM, except for the bird in the corner. The lace was dipped in coffee (I hope that counts) and dried. I colored and glittered the title alphas using Marion Smith’s great technique.
I got the idea of using a pebble on top of the lamppost stamp from Robin(Robinzbirdz).
I die cut a strip of transparency and used the negative as a template to smooch the flourish onto the velvet paper. The chalked flower images on the pp behind the photo were made using the negatives from the die cut flowers.
I scanned the CI negative strip and reduced the image somewhat and printed it out onto a transparency. The small photos were colored with PhotoShop and then stamped around the borders. The large one was adhered to the dot die cut and then stamped; I used chalk ink to color the edges.
All but the flower in the upper corner are made from coffee filters. I used Lisa(StarSailorScrapper)’s watercolor technique to make the large one. I used a 3-petal die twice to get that particular flower. I then painted it and allowed it to dry overnight in an egg container. A few snips and folds and voila!!!
The smaller flowers are from the same die; I GMed them twice over to get the shade I wanted.
The flower in the corner is lifted from Irene Tan(Scrapperlicious)’s February Swilydoos DT layouts. I curved the corners and distressed and inked the edges.
I did not color the flower centers or the Swirlybitz that are dangling from the title; I think that they’re prettier left alone.
