Crafty Catz DT - Fairytales and Nursery Rhymes

Morning all,
 
How are we all today? it's Friday and that means it's time for another challenge over at Crafty Catz. This weeks theme has been set by the lovely Nick who challenged us to make a card inspired by a Fairy tale or Nursery Rhyme.
 
We are lucky to be sponsored this week by Bugaboo Digi Stamps who are very kindly offering our lucky winner 7 images of their choice.

We were also very lucky to be given an image to play with for this challenge and I decided I wanted to play with Princess Charlie in a Tower as I instantly started to recall that classic Fairy tale of Rapunzel. There's only one problem with Fairy tales,  I always get a bit sick and tired of the women being so helpless! not that I'm a feminist, because I'm not, but I always thought the men got to have more fun and I was one of those kids that wanted to be off chasing dragons not sitting learning how to sew!
 
Anyway, enough of my rambling and on with this week's project:
For this week's project I thought I would finally try my hand at making a drawer card. I have to say it took me longer to make the drawer than the make the rest of the card all together!
 
Anyway, I coloured the lovely Charlie with the following promakers: Ivory, blush, satin, dusky rose, gold, pastel yellow, mustard, poppy, honeycomb, sky blue, sandstone, caramel, cinnamon
 
The papers are from Stampin Up and I hand drew and cut the inset papers. I hand drew and cut the clouds as well and the flowers are from woodware two sizes of woodware punches. The ribbon and brad are from stash, the card is edged with stickles stardust and cream gems to finish.
 
So there we have it. I do hope you like it and don't forget to pop by the challenge blog to see more inspiration. Until next time though, happy crafting!
