All About The Girls
Hi there everyone,
Another month and another challenge.... this month is All about the girls - well I am not a girly girl, never have been - much to my Mums despair!! I love looking at girly things - admire much of it, but am not one for bright and flouncy things - so when I thought about what I would make I steered away from anything really girly as its just not me!
Like most people I surf the net for inspiration and discovering new techniques .... well new to me.
Recently when sharing a crafty session with friends I was introduced to the wonderful world of masterboards and have since spent many hours watching YouTube clips to get the ideas and the process - so I decided this was my starting point.
I took a plain piece of card and a small perspex block which I wrapped some thick twine around, took a Meadow Adirondack ink pad and started stamping an alternate criss cross design across the card base - it was subtle - but I liked it.
Next I brayered in a mix of Wild Honey and Spiced Marmalade Distress ink pads to build up the colour, then - using the small leafy swirl stamp - I stamped second generation Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
I then took the large and small Gerbera Stamp - and using Black Onyx Versafine - stamped part of the card.
I then stamped my sentiment - January NDC 2016 - Life is Just Not Long Enough - so very true for us crafters!!!
I then used my distress ink marker pens to colour in the flowers and highlighted them with a wink of stella pen - just to add a bit of glimmer (sadly the photo does not really show this).
I then chomped my corners and mounted this on to black card and decided to go for a Kraft Card Base - but it looked in need of something - after much back and forth with various embellishments I settle on some burlap.
Hope you like it!
Much Love
