Well here goes my first published challenge: Thanks to Studio L3 Grungy Monday 14 challenge, using Tim Holtz's March 2008 technique.
Using my Cuttlebug I cut a Tag using my Go Kreate Concentric tag die, and used the mannikin and tape measure to stamp with from the Creative Expressions Vintage Sewing set (thank you Bev) using white acrylic paint. Once it was dry I sprayed with misters made up of Rangers Tea Dye distress re-inker with Gold Dust and several sprays of Red Brick re-inker with Lemongrass.
Once this was all dry I stamped on the Thank You using Black StazOn and distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Black Soot. Well that was the tag almost done what now ? I couldnt decide so a little while later (well 2 days later) I decided to emboss a piece of card using my Cuttlebug and the Spots and Dots folder, followed by a dolop of Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress ink around the edges.Once I mounted it all onto the card I realised I needed a little something else so made my own ticket using the Autumn Leaves Ticket always/forever stamped in Rich Cocoa using Memento ink. So there it is all finished and already on its way to the States as a thank you.
Fabulous! Love the colours and the ideas - you have embraced the challenge and made something beautiful as a gift! Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteSara congratulations on your first challenge, and may I say, it's a spectacular debut! You did a wonderful job on the GM14 technique-- the dress form looks amazing against the rosy red background, and the entire piece has a perfect shabby-chic feel. Truly wonderful work, and I hope we see you again next week!
