Morning all, well its my first day back to work today, the first is always the hardest..lol
Today is also a new challenge over on
and the theme is a really good one
Vintage / Shabby Chic
We also have our new design team's first outing so pop on over to the challenge blog to see all their gorgeous creations..
Here's my DT card for the challenge, sorry but I have a photo over load on this card I love it so much.. :3
I have used again my dies from Go Kreate these are the XXL scallop circle dies. I used the biggest die on this card and worked my way down to the smaller ones.
Here you can see the muslin and netting I used to make the bow then added a big pearl brad in the centre to finish it off. Just behind you can just make out the grapevine heart that I recently found in one of those pound stores. The pearls on the twisted string I found in my Christmas tree box and knew it would be perfect for this card. Talking of Christmas I love going into all the stores and finding different bits that I can use for my cards.
The flowers I have given a light spreading of PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Acrylic paints to given them a slightly worn look. I have also done this on the bird cage which is behind the sentiment.
This metal embellishment I used gold paint then painted over with a cream colour I was going for a more crackled look but got to impatient waiting for it to work its magic but I'm still happy with the result. I have on order from the Craft Den some of that Viva Decor inka gold which has been on a well know craft challenge and is suppose to be brilliant. You can buy it from the Craft Den along with many different colour ways, paints and effects.
Here's a better view of those grapevine hearts I was talking about earlier and the organza rose that came on a 1 meter length so you will be seeing a lot of these on my cards and projects.
The Design papers are from a new paper pad from My Minds eye from the lost and found collection available from the Craft Den.
Sorry about the over load of pictures there is just so much to show. Behind Tilda I used one of the Doily dies from Cheery Lynn, I think this one is the French Flair doily.
For the background I used some white lace and Scrim
Tilda has been coloured with Copic's
Colours are:
E35, 34, 33, 31, 30 - Dress, hat and boots
R29, 27, 24, 22- Hat band
E000, 00, 11, 21, 30, R20 - Skin
E27, 25, 31 - Hair
The last and final photo is of the inside of the easel card and a closer look at that organza flower that I have used German Glass Glitter to add a little sparkle.
