The latest challenge is up and running over
at
Sponsored by Kj Arting
The theme ,as always, is
and this is my first post as a DT member.
I chose to make a tag shaped wall hanger,
using "Cheeky Greek Chibi"
I started by cutting 2 tags, 1 from watercolour card
and 1 from regular 250gsm card stock...
I used the watercolour card to create a grungy
background using gesso and letraset alcohol inks...
and more gesso.
I had seen a video by Tim Holtz where he used
3D embossing folders to create deep texture...
So I got out some embossing folders...
inked them with TH distress inks...
and ran the damp tag through my cuttlebug.
Thrilled with the outcome. I was trying for
a look that said "ancient ruins" so that this
little cutie would feel at home :D
The image is *of course* coloured with
ProMarkers.
I finished off with eyelets, silk cord and
words from my paper stash :D
Enjoy :D XXX
I would like to share this in the following challenges;
(grunge/texture/ProMakers/inks/Gesso)
I love the roundness of the image--her wings, her hips, her hair... There is a smoothness to the sticker that gets accentuated by your coloring, which makes the dreams even sweeter. I like it!
