Today's project ended up totally different from what I had originally planned. I was trying to do the Faux Mother of Pearl technique, following a tutorial posted by a very creative fellow demo, France Martin. Must have missed the part where she said to use glossy white paper. I used Whisper White. Had the image all stamped and coloured before I realized my mistake.
So I decided to tear and smear and curl corners and rough up edges instead to make this.
Here's what I used:
Stamps: Bella Toile background stamp, Elements of Style, Four Frames
Paper: Whisper White, Marina Mist, Crumb Cake
Ink: Stazon Black (to stamp the Bella Toile); markers to colour image: Crumb Cake, So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Marina Mist, Pear Pizzaz; edges and image are sponged with Soft Suede.
Other: Crochet Trim, Decorative Label punch, Stamp-a-ma-Jig (to place sentiment).
Creativity is always a journey - at least for me it is! Sometimes a project takes a detour and I end up in a totally different place from where I thought I was going. But that's what makes it fun!
