I was asked to be the guest designer for August by Polly from Our Vintage Affair and the theme for their current challenge is triangle. It could be a triangular card, or a pyramid box anything which has the shape of a triangle.Up for grabs is a £20 voucher to spend in The Craft Barn.
I decided to make a pennant out of cardboard which I covered in prima bottanical paper on both sides. I edged the pennant with german scrap which I'd gessoed and then highlighted in Inka gold and a little distress ink. I made the larger scrunchy flower using the Tim Holtz tattered floral die and inked and spritzed and gessoed the poor flower till it was thoroughly shabby, and used a selection of roses from Wild orchid crafts.
The stamped image is Ophelia from The Stampsmith & the dies used are cheery lynn french pastry & spellbinders ribbon banners!
Off to make some Plum jam now! Happy crafting! X
Parabéns Paula por estar lá no OVA! Seu trabalho é lindo! Muitas flores e detalhes maravilhosos!
ReplyDeleteThis is breathtaking. Absolutely adore what you have created, it is perfection.
ReplyDeleteHow spooky as this afternoon I was actually stamping with Ophelia. Considering this is a stamp you don't see very often I would say that is very strange indeed. She is so beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThe colours are perfect!!! Another beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous. I especially love it hanging on the garden post, it looks even more beautiful with the ivy around it.
ReplyDeleteSo, so beautiful and I love the idea of gesso on the German scrap as I have loads and would never have thought of changing it like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my CI challenge piece, especialy so because it led me to your blog - which I now follow.
