Hi there
I have wanted to enter the challenges for a while now but with all the stuff I was doing for the fair I just never got round to it. Until now.....
The link is on my sidebar. The colours this week are brown grey and silver. I thought it would be easy but actually found it more challenging than expected! Perhaps because my browns did not quite match what I had in my mind at first.
Here is what I came up with in the end; a tag that will be going onto a project I am busywith for a gift (so no final photo!)
I used textured grungboard for the base left it grey and added patches of silver alcohol ink before inking with brushed corduroy and vintage photo distress ink. Onto this I added a brown floral lazer cut filigree of my own design and two grey tone flowers that I had made yesterday (I made 47 flowers in total yesterday, talk about being on a roll!), a couple of brown papermania gens and a silver sentiment. Then everything was mounted onto brown card and grey card to finish.
Hope you like it!
Be blessed
