' ' ' 'Crafty Endeavours: Textured Flowers box lid

Wednesday 24 August 2016

Textured Flowers box lid

Today I have a larger than usual project to show and it has the honour of appearing on the Rubber Dance blog.

The inspiration for that piece is Trish's Latimer art. If you aren't familiar with her work and images, take a tour on her blog here. In the August edition of Craft Stamper - warning: shameless plug ahead - in which one of my card feature -  one of her designs was available as a digi stamp. [1]

Also on her blog, you can also find a link to a video showing Trish's background building process, which I followed for this project, making it my own with "my" colours and motifs and the foreground scene!

My substrate is a humble box lid but it is canvas size at 28x32 cms (11"x12"1/2) and will be in constant use during my crafting hours as it will hold some of my stash...


Paints:
  • DecoArt: White tinting base, Primary Cyan, Pyrrole Red, Quinacridone Violet
  • Paper Artsy: Yellow Submarine and Nougat Frescos
Stencils:
  • Sequin waste (small and large),
  • Harlequin die-cut -Tim Holtz Mixed Media die set
  • Memory Box Piestra tile die cut .
Rubber Stamps: all by Rubber Dance
Other: Wow Embossing powder in Grape, various lids and credit cards as mark making tools.

If you want more details on how I made this do hop over to the Rubber Dance blog.

Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the Craft Stamper, We Love To Create, Allsorts, Colour Crazy, WOW Embossing powders and Vintage Journey challenge

[1] Trish now sells her designs as rubber stamps, you can find a link to her Etsy page on her blog.
