Fabric and Fibres - Let's add some fabric and/or fibres to our creations this month. You can use linen, burlap, organza, wool, lace, ribbon, rope to name a few. The list is almost endless but whatever you add, make sure there is some stamping or stenciling (or both) on your creation as well.
I decided to use a kit from tando creative in this challenge - and added some burlap!
I started by glueing the sides together ...
next came a bit of painting ....
then I added the burlap and the house bases.
I then added some stencilling ...
for the house tops I painted them using distress crackle paints and distress pens. I also added other items from the kit that I painted plussome pieces of paua shell from New Zealand. The sun is a koru cut by my sister using her laser cutter in NZ. I painted it yellow and stamped some bubbles on it then added it to the scene.
here's a closer view before the glue dried clear! The last thing I added was the words.
I hope you can join our challenge this month - so much you can do with fabric!
Big hugs
