More than half way through January and another new challenge over at Sugar Creek Hollow. The theme is 'Fibres and Textures'. [not just ribbon and lace].
This time I decided to look in my material scraps box to see if any could be used as a layer for my card.
Well its not very square, but it was just what I had in mind for a background layer.
Next came the muslin , closely followed with some waste scraps. To make the bow, I sprayed the honeycomb waste with gold, this made it quite stiff and easy to gather up in the middle.The rose is made/molded with wax and coloured with mica powder. I have made a promise to myself to get more use out of my melt pot this year, it has been gathering dust for months on a shelf.
The little girl is from Graphic 45 Secret Garden stack.
All the layers were stuck down using a material spray adhesive, its great stuff it even worked with the card stock.
Thank you for your comments, I do so appreciate you taking the time to stop by.
Beautiful card, love the use of the textures and the soft colours. Hugs, Valerie

ReplyDeleteThanks for your message, bill has got his leg in traction for 21 days :-( but so far no surgery, will have to wait to see if they decide he needs artificial joint! Had another 4-5"" of snow today....

ReplyDeleteI do agree with all the ideas you have presented in your post. There really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for beginners. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post

Hi Yvonne! Your card is stunning. Another one to print and hang on my bulletin board; if I can't replicate it, I can at least drool over it!! You're amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, I love the colours and the moulded rose is fab! I too have a dusty melt pot in my cupboard - lol xx
