A Coronation inspired caterpillar

Yes you did read the title of my blog correctly 😂 It's time for my fortnightly blogged design team make for Visible Image. As the King's Coronation is just around the corner now I thought I would make a red, white and blue card. I can also reveal the very exciting news that Visible Image will be back on your TV screens this Sunday 30th April and this card is one of my samples for the show.

I used the fab new Change is coming stamp set

with the ever popular Fibres stencil

This is what I got up to; I blended candied apple distress ink through the stencil onto a piece of white card

and did the same with Prize ribbon. 

I stamped and matted the sentiment and cut out some holes (eaten by the hungry caterpillar of course) using hole punches.

O

I die cut an 11cm circle  from the blue stencilled piece of card and a 12.5 one from the red.

I stamped the caterpillar onto the blue circle 

I also stamped the caterpillar and leaf twice again onto white card and cut 1 out completely and the other just the caterpillar.

I used distress pencils to colour my cut out caterpillar.

and then stuck it over the whole image.

I then adhered the layers together

and matted the blue circle onto the red one.

To make the rocker I die cut a 14cm circle from red card and folded it in half. For a final touch I added some sequins. 

Here is my finished card;

with a close up

and 1 final shot

My caterpillar is all ready to celebrate at the King's Coronation!
