Swirlydoos Ultimate Design Challenge Week 3.  

This week the challenge was to use metal tape on a project.  This was not my favorite challenge, because I really do not ever use anything that is not designed for scrapbooking.  I decided a page with a picture was out of the question, so I decided to make a tag.  I went to Lowe's, and bought the tape, and right away I embossed the tape, and then die cut it with a spellbinders iron works motif die. I aged it with Gesso, and different color paints to shabby it up and make it look old.  The picture doesn't look right because it shows up white in places and that die cut is old and rustic looking in person.  

I used a Tim Holtz for Ranger tag.  I stamped with Gesso in no particular fashion.  Heat set it. I then inked up the tag with Tim Holts distress inks in Worn Lipstick, Victorian Velvet, and Spun Sugar.  The picture again is off because the tag in person is pinker.   I added a piece of Kaisercraft paper, a doily, and some lace.  Then I added the die cut, and some flowers. 

Swirlydoos Ultimate Design Challenge  week 2

This week was all about paper layers.   Here is my take on the challenge.

I used Kaiser Craft Sweet Nothings collection papers for this page.   I also used a piece of Bo Bunny chipboard from the Et Cetera collection.  I created a border around my photo with flower cut outs.  I also cut out the butterflies from one of the Kaiser Craft papers.  I bent the wings for a little dimension.  Here are some close up details.

Thanks for taking a look.

                                               Ultimate Design Challenge.  Week 1.

This is a Valentine card I created for the week 1 of the challenge.  Use a piece of chipboard and use 2 art mediums on the chipboard.  You can also die cut or stamp and image and use 2 art mediums on it.  I used Anna Griffin papers and embellishments.  I also hand cut my title and the heart embellishment from a piece of K and Company paper I had in my stash.  I cut 2 of the same heart and added a foam tape by EK Success, and made a 3-dementional embellishment.

This is the Dusty Attic chipboard I used on my card.  I broke it in half.  I added a little Gesso here and there.  When it dried, I added green paint, and then wiped it off.  I then added copper paint, and then wiped it off.  Last I added gold paint, and wiped it off.
