Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend...... The weather here went from 80 last week to 34 today. It actually snowed! Needless to say I AM disgusted with our weather here in Western NY. Today I have for you my challenge card for "Midnight Madness" #52. I have also submitted this card for this weeks "Pixie Cottage" challenge. We were to make our own charm. I used a jump ring and a gold disk to hang of of my tag. The sketch and details can be found
HERE. This week I was excited to use my new digital images from
"Priscillastyles" Store. They are a lovely set of birds and flourishes. I already have a card in mind using the flourishes. First off I created the scalloped frame using my KNK digital die cutter software. I programed the design so the beading holes would be cut out with the frame. Next I applied a coat of Ranger Distress Crackle Paint in "Tattered Rose". I sponged the edges and hand sewed the beads. The "Birds" were resized and printed out on "velvet" paper. After trying several mediums for coloring, I got the best results with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. You can see the texture of the velvet paper better in the close-up photos below.
The Details:
Stamps: Digital Images from "Priscillastyles", Tim Holtz Collection "Flights of Fancy"
Paper: Gina K "120# Ivory", Creative Imaginations DP purchased @ Michael's, Various papers from
"Bazzill Basics", "Velvet Paper" The Paper Company (Joanne's)
Ink: SU "Bravo Burgundy", Colorbox Chalk Inks, Copic RV32 (airbrushed gem flourish)
Other: Sizzix decorative strip "Swirly", MS Glitter "Smokey Quartz", Prismacolor pencils/Gamsol,
SU large and small tag punches, Pink Hem Tape from Joanne's, Spellbinders Fancy Flourish die,
Ranger Distress Crackle Paint, Beads and crochet cotton/beading needle, Jump Ring and charm.
Thanks for looking and have a GREAT week!
