Thank you Pamellia.
I had a couple of challenges in mind when I made this project.
and
I loved the theme and colours on the Mood Board at Anything But Cute.
and
Frilly and Funkie Challenge-A Touch of Gold
and
Frilly and Funkie Challenge-A Touch of Gold
From The Mood board I have tried to use some of the gorgeous colours
and in particular the Turquoise, Greens and Gold.
Although I never seem to capture them with my camera, however many photos I take!
I was inspired by the picture of the forest with shards of straight lines of light.
This is depicted on the right hand side of the heart.
I have used sprays (from Lindy's stamp gang), a stencil,
gold paint, crystals and glass glitter in lines.
The stencil represents the bark.
I have picked up the swirls from the shoes on the top left hand side
by using a stencil, mica, sprays and mini gold beads.
I used the Zen Leaf 2 and the Zen Single Grass Stamps
from Lavinia to pick up on the shape of the eyes
and the rain/glue like shape on the leaves from the mood board.
I stamped and embossed the stamps in gold,
coloured them with mica and hi-lighted them with crystals.
The 'Love' sentiment has been stenciled with clear gloss gel.
I hope I have captured the Mood board in some small way?
This type of crafting is way out of my comfort zone
and I have never made anything like this before.
I am really keen to try Mixed Media projects even more
as I had so much fun making this project.
I am also entering my project into
The theme co-ordinates with their monthly classes.
and
Mixed Media Fun using my
mediums, paints, sprays, glitter, mica, and loads more!
and had a play x
