Vintage Journey and Wicked Wednesday
Hi Everyone.
We had a sunny day here yesterday and no forecast for rain today or tomorrow so I am smiling :) Dull and cold but not wet is good I think. I will be racing into town and back as there is tennis on the telly and it is Nadal playing first then Andy Murray later. Hope the weather is good where you are and thank you for visiting Jumbled Crafts-always nice to have friends pop by.
At A Vintage Journey this time we are asked to 'get some texture.' As always the challenge is based on Tim Holtz- products or techniques.
I started off with part of a cardboard box and painted it with lilac emulsion paint--I coated it on so that added texture. Next it was sprayed with Rangers Ink Spray and dabbed with distressed ink
I found a book page I had used to soaked up various blobs from other projects so I filled in a few gaps with
Rangers Distressed stain, put it through the clock embossing folder and cut out a piece to add to my cardboard. The tape down the side is a Tim Holtz stencil with Grunge Paste and I distressed it with a couple of colours. The tattered flowers were also made from a splodgy book page. Not sure what this will be used for--I think maybe a book front cover.
Tim Holtz things used on this
Now to Wicked Wednesday where the theme is Fairy Wonderland.
and I drew some wings on the image in Paint Shop Pro and filled them with part of the image so that they matched.
The background is spray ink and a sponge and I added glitter around the edges for the wonderland bit.
Still a few days left to join in so hope you will get out your fairies and have a go with an ATC. Not many of us join in and it is a lovely DT with great ideas.
Have a great day
Love Chrissie x

I think turning your fabulous altered card project into a book cover is a great idea. Thanks for joining us at A Vintage Journey. Jenny x
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love your textured piece... the way the colours move and blend across all that delicious texture is fabulous, and I love the book page flowers - just wonderful! And perfect for a book cover, I'd say, with all that book text hovering. Thanks so much for joining us on A Vintage Journey.
