I made this yesterday when I promised myself that I would have a bit of a craftroom tidy.
A piece of Kraft card was just waiting to be used a a base layer .
Then the torn page from an old french book, not to mention the painted corrogated card.
I had no problem finding a few more bits and pieces lying around.
So onto the main image. A Lynne Perrella stamp from Paper Artsy.
The set I used a little while ago and was still on my desk.
This was stamped and embossed using a dark powder, onto a piece of left over, home created backing card.
I re-stamped the image using Chocolate Brown Staz- on.
The top half of the image was shaded with water colours, then I embossed this piece all over with clear embossing powder. There is a line of Cerne relief paint [Pebeo] along the join. Hard to see on the photo.
A little Aged Aqua Frantage powder at the corner gave a little added texture.
All the extra shading on this project is Vintage Photo distress ink
By coincidence this piece will fit these challenges, I found when looking around blogland today, so I will be off to join the fun at-
The Craft-room challenge 56 which is Heat Embossing
