Hello Creative Friends..
It's time for a new theme over on the That's Crafty Challenge Blog
If you would like to share your creative side with us we'd love to see you over HERE
There's prizes to be won so pop on over read those entry rules and check out
what the talented That's Crafty Team have created to inspire you.
Here's my interpretation of the challenge..
Using the keyhole MDF book cover Surface I smeared on texture paste
and used the back of a fork to make marks in the hope of simulating bark.
Leaves from the Butterflies and leaves set are stamped onto Kraft card and cut out.
Using Flat Matte Sprays the leaves are painted with white also added to some of the areas.
This completely changes it's transparency creating more new shades.
With the Book Cover painted in multi surface paints, black is scraped around the
edge of the key hole and heated with a heat tool till it bubbles to create a raised edge.
Strips of dyed card help map out where the leaves will fall, all held down with gel medium.
Gel medium and twisted wire holds a variation of beads in place adding
embellishment and breaking down the similarity of the leaves within the design.
The stencilled Rose used to test out texture and colour has been cut and applied to guide the eye to the key hole where you can just catch a peek at what lies behind the door.
The sentiment from Lynne's Wildflower stamps fits perfectly with this cover.
I'm building up a collection of pictures and boards that create
intrigue through that keyhole before I string it all together.
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett was one of my Favourite reads as a child.
I would have loved to discover a Secret Garden just like Mary Lennox did...
Tomorrow I will share what lies through that keyhole.
Look forward to seeing your take on
Creative Wishes
