That Craft Place Challenge.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
And here is my new design for :
That Craft Place Challenge Blog.

As usual this fortnight's theme is:
Mixed Media Anything Goes!
So lets see what you can come up with!

But before you start here is my piece using a variety of products from That Craft Place.

 

This is how I made it.

Started with a fairly large Tag and cut away a small section from the bottom.

 

 

At this stage I applied different gels and pastes through a variety of stencils. I used different types of Gels as this gives a variety of relief effects.

Then painted it with Gesso.

I actually taped the two pieces together at the back so it may look like one piece at the moment. This ensures continuity of the design.

 

 

And a close-up

 

At this stage I separated the two pieces and painted the tag.

 

 

I absolutely love these wings from That Craft Place and have used so many. For this project I have painted them and added a crackle effect.

 

Then later added gilding flakes.

 

 

I used craft card to cut these shapes and dragged them through some watered down paint for a grungy look.

 

 

These are the dies used.

 I also added Gilding flakes to the tag.

 

 And so to the finished piece.

The sentiment is a Tim Holtz stamp, the metal embellishments are more from That Craft Place.

 

 

 

I do hope you enjoyed watching me make this and it would be great if you could leave me a comment and then pop over and see what the other DT members have been making and maybe join in the challenge too at:

Masterboard Envelope

Hi Sunday Bloggers  this is a last minute posting. I decided to use the Steampunk Masterboard to make this month's envelope swap for my friend, so if you are watching Gloria, it's on it's way!

I like brown envelopes they always seem to give a nice background to start the design on.

 

 

I have used the bottle again on this piece as part of the back flap.

I do love envelopes, there is so much more we can do with them, they often feel quite left out lol!

 

 

And as always had to finish it off with an ATC to go inside.

This would make a great topper for a card.

 

Hope you are able to pop over to Ali-Craft blog tomorrow to see my finished Design Team effort.

 

Bye for now

Big Hugs, Angela x

 

 

 

Just a Peek

Hi Bloggies  here are a few more of my samples for the Ali-Craft blog, Design Team Project which will be posted over there on Monday.

Thought I would try some different embossing powders, just to see lol!

 

Stamping into Utee.

 

 

Stamping with Brilliance Ink.

 

And finally, just a Peek at the final piece with the Clock face glazed.

 

 

If you want to see the completed piece pop in on Monday or go over to Ali-Craft blog for the full instructions on how I made this.

 

See you soon

Gilding Flakes.

Still busy trying out my ideas  Blogsters  for the Ali-Craft project next week.
Not really giving away what it will be but I have been using gilding flakes  which are available at Ali-Craft. I have used them with the Graphics 45 Steampunk Spells Clock and Wings stamps.

 

I used Flitter Glue and stamped onto black card and as you can see the detail is brilliant and just as clear as it would be with ink.

 

Hope you like it so far?

 

Back soon Angela x
