Hello Crafters,
Am back after a holiday, A warm welcome to all my new
followers and hearty”Thanks” to all those of you who took the time to vote for my previous post!
Its autumn/fall challenge every where and a lovely sight to
see the leaves change colors !
You can create a card, LO, Mini album or "off the page" creations too!
As for what I created, here it is…
Looks like a lovely canvas
eh?
All you restless souls, can scroll down to see the end product …but for the others, here are the
details!
Firstly, gessoed the top
and then created this lovely grainy texture with acrylic colors and
applied distress crackle( Clear rock candy) in areas and at it dried , lovely
cracks appeared! Rubbed walnut stain in the cracks to age the look and also
inked the edged with Black soot to give dimension.
Next took a leaf stencil from my local craft store and used home made texture paste to add some falling leaves effect! Highlighted these leaves with Inka gold.
Now comes the interesting part…the wreath!
What do you think
it is made of??? Have a look…
Yes! You got it..an empty tacky tape ring + burlap twine
from packaging + WREATH!
Isn’t that cool… the rest of the project was just about
embellishing the wreath.
The lovely leaves are from CLD Tropical leaves and
Spellbinders, all cut from an old wedding invite and have inked the edges with
Walnut stain.
The sun flower is also from CLD and the buds are using TH
Tattered florals.
A little vellum butterfly, heat embossed and colored using
markers is seen hovering around the flowers!
The wreath is held on the top with hand dyed seam binding in
autumnal colors.
Keeping the theme in mind, I have chosen the words that best
describe the season and pulled out the Ideology chit chat stickers! These are
all inked with wild honey and randomly placed around the wreath!
That’s it..my canvas is ready!
So…is that the end…
Do you want to see the final look???
here it
is...
The box was so irresistible and had to have another lease
of life!
