The Gate

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for calling in and I hope you are ready for our new challenge theme at
Try it on Tuesday.

Great ideas from the team as always so do join us if you can.

                            

The theme this time is COLOURFUL. 

We would like you to use COLOUR on your entries for this challenge.

with hardly any or NO white areas.

My take on the theme is a wedding card with heart chipboard gate.
As usual I provide you with some steps of the process:

1. Stencilling some texture paste.
2. Coating all with white gesso.
3. Colouring with Gelatos.
4. Lightening the background with white paint.
5. Heat embossing the chipboard gate.
6. Finishing off by adding some colourful embellishments.

Home Sweet Home

We start a new challenge today over at Try it on Tuesday and our theme is 

HOME, SWEET HOME.

                                          

Great ideas from the team as always so do join us if you can.

As always what you make, the style, the mediums. format etc. is entirely up to yourselves as long as you have in some way used our theme.

My take on the theme is a fridge magnet I made of various sized match boxes.

I started with gluing some scrap  papers to the boxes inside and out.
Then I added some white gesso, Dried Marigold Distress Ink and Crackle Paint on the edges. 

The best part was to put it all together: paper scraps, faves metal parts and  plastic junks I hoard in my drawer. 

Hope you like it!

I'm also linking the magnet to:
