' ' ' 'Crafty Endeavours: Brrr!!!

Monday 5 October 2015

Brrr!!!

It's October and Autumn is truly upon us, flamed coloured leaves are falling and it's getting cold and windy over here. I feel like my Flonzcraft Girl with dog (also available as part of this full sheet) who is bearing the brunt of those nasty gusts that blow the remaining leaves off the trees, although not so elegantly!


This month's theme at Vintage Stamping Challenges is die-cuts and I pulled several of my dies to create a background for my Art Nouveau silhouette:
  • 2 sizes of  Spellbinders labels (image and mat)
  • leaves (Joy crafts)
  • Jumbo rick rack (Papertrey ink)
  • Notebook Edge (My Favorite Thing)
I used some designer papers from Prima and HOTP adding some machine stitching with a multi-coloured metallic thread (the TIMI challenge at Craft Stamper gave me the idea).
The leaves have been coloured with Gelatos or copper powder (plus vinegar for a verdigris effect!) to highlight the raised areas.

The brown mat for the image has been embossed with a Tartan X-cut folder for some added texture.


Hop over to the Vintage Stamping Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT has made this month. Join us and Use your die-cuts for the chance to win a $20 voucher for the Flonzcraft shop.  Remember your make doesn't need to be vintage but is does need to have some stamping, no digis allowed!

Thanks for coming by,

  11. Elle est belle ta carte !!! Et décidemment, j'adore moi aussi ce tampon et cette planche... Je note le thème du nouveau challenge, encore désolée pour le précédent mais je sais que tu en comprends les raisons. Pour info, je viens d'arrêter ma DT Katzelkraft, j'espère ainsi avoir plus de temps pour me faire plaisir avec d'autres tampons que ceux de mes DTs... :)
