I'm sorry about the long silence here on my blog, but my excuse was Paris and of course arranging the things before and after the traveling.
But I'm here with a new make :-)
It was about 1 month ago when I ordered the Sizzix Sewing Room Bigz Die by Tim Holtz and I was really eager to make something with my "new" die. So it was quite a lucky coincidence when I saw the May Challenge of the A Vintage Journey. It was just for me: Sew Special!
So for this Sew Special challenge I have made this:
I will show you how I created the background:
I cut out a tag from chipboard, I put two layers of gesso on it. After drying I painted green with a kind of soft olive green paint.
I stamped script on it with brown ink.
With one of Tim's stencil I made some measuring background and when it was dry I rubbed some white paint on the surface, more to the edges.
What I used:
Ranger Distress Spray Stain, Brushed Pewter by Tim Holtz - for the scissors
embossing paste
self adhesive lace, embroidery thread, organza ribbon
chipboard
And as I used embossing paste I would also like to enter the Monday Challenge of the Simon Says Stamp: Emboss it!
And also there's a great challenge on Anything But Cute -Celebrate your style! - where I would like to join too.
