Today I've got a piece to share with you that I've made for the creative-expressions.uk.com DT call.- I know I don't stand a chance but you've got to try!!!!! The idea is to make a piece relating to texture - this is what I've done:
The tag is a regular manilla tag and first of all I've made the background using decopatch - its fab - and involves multiple sheets of tissue paper of various patterns cut into squares and applied with an adhesive that is a mixture of glue and varnish - very therapeutic - love it! After that had dried i\ stamped the words and butterflies in versa mark and added brass sparkle wow powders before heat setting. The words are Indigo Blu and the butterfly is a freebie from craft stamper magazine. I made the flowers using the technique with the medium tattered florals die pioneered by Hels Sheridan - tutorial here.
I'm very happy with my work and I guess you never know your luck!!! I'm just incredibly aware of the mega talent out there in blogland - I see so much of it everyday!
Anyway - this is my piece for the DT call at Creative expressions
but I'd also like to enter it into these challenges:
joannasheenchallenge: totally sentimental
Anything goes CBanythingchallenge: Make your own background.
Thanks for looking and see you tomorrow for my candy post!
