Gold & silver At That's Craft Challenge Blog

Hi Everyone

and a big special hello to my newest followers its great to have you along to share my crafty journey.

Today see's the start of a new challenge at That's Crafty Challenges and for the coming fortnight we want to see your projects that are

"Silver & Gold"

Now this one has taken me right out of my comfort zone but it's good to do something different for a change and I like a challenge!!!

I made the background using a square acrylic stamping block as a stamp using Aquatints

 in gold and silver to make a chequered effect background. I then added the circles in both silver and gold acrylic paint through a stencil.

I then stamped the Paris postmarks stamp from Tim Holtz "Paris memoir" set with versamark ink  and heat embossed in gold.

To the edges I heat embossed "aged Ivory" embossing enamal and whilst still hot added some "gilded mica", both products from Stampendous.

Some gold trims were machine stitched on with gold thread, I then added some metal flowers which came from an old broken bracelet.

Finally I added my image stamped and heat embossed in gold and lightly coloured with antique linen distress ink. I have used one of the stylish girls from Tim Holtz recently released  "Runway"set

I finished by adding my sentiment from Tim Holtz "Small Talk" Stickers.

We would love you to pop over HERE and come and join in with us all, The Design Team have come up with a variety of fabulous projects to inspire you.

Love
