Hey there Happy Crafters
My my have I had a busy week, so much so that I missed one of my favourite challenges at
Left Of Center :-(
But now that my little project is finally finished, I guess that means I'll be the first person to enter this week............every cloud and all that :-)
As the title suggests my project actually isn't a card, I couldn't believe it myself to be honest as I LUURV making cards. But I had a moment of inspiration and just went with it (I'm secretly impressed with myself).
So what I have made is a door hanger thingy...........I know some crafters may think "that's so yesterday", but it was a first for me, I REALLY enjoyed making it and I think it's broadened my horizons a wee bit to do new things.
The shape itself was cut out of mount board, then I used that as a template to cut out the backing paper. The paper was distressed around the edges and I randomly stamped the cobweb design with Tim Holtz Black Soot ink pad. Then all the inked areas were embossed with a clear fine embossing powder.
The image I've chosen for this project is
The Harvester from
The Goblyn Workshop. He was coloured with my fab promarkers and flexmarkers :- Burnt Sienna, Cappuccino, Sandstone, Champagne, Pesto, Marsh Green, Apple Cider, Cool Greys and Blue Greys.
Randomly splattered around the edge is some fab Aged Black Frantage. This stuff is great but really tricky to heat emboss without it flying everywhere...........always a challenge. I tried to capture the detail as best I could in the pictures.
Lastly the letters were die cut twice, in black and white then stuck together, just so that they wouldn't get lost in the background. Ta dah.........my work here is done.
Thanks for dropping by and come back soon xx
