Crafty Cardnakers Challenge -262 Things with Wings.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Hi! back again to tell you that it's time for another challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers.

Mary is hosting today and our challenge is "Things with Wings". 

As usual you can enter anything you fancy, it doesn't have to be cards as long as it meets the challenge.

Hope you will join in.

And here is my project for the challenge:



Love these stamps by Dark room Door.

I'm making a card today using this Masterboard which was printed using the Gelli Plate.

Next I added some texture using a stencil and some crackle paste.

Which gave me this.

These close-ups show the gorgeous crackle paste really well.

And here is the finished card.

I stamped and fussy cut some birds by Dark Room Door and added some Stickles Glitter glue and a little shading around the edge.

Added some shading to the background using charcoal pencil then rub it with a finger. 

You can set this with a fixative if needed.

Attached the birds. 
The shadow just helps to ground them a little so they don't appear to be floating.

And we're all finished with the addition of a Tim Holtz die cut sentiment.

I hope you will pop over to see what the rest of the DT have been up to and maybe join in the challenge.

 I look forward to seeing what you come up with too.

Happy crafting.

Masterboard Monday.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you a card made with this Masterboard:

 

 Another left-over from an earlier project which started off as a pink A3 sheet of card, coloured with Distress Oxides and some light stencilling until I added the crackle glaze.

 

 

The stencil is 'Large Holes' by Dylusions.

 

 

At this stage I stamped some birds by 'darkroom door' called  'Carved Birds Vol 1'.

Not sure what colours to use so stamped a few in different ones and heat embossed with clear powder by WoW.

And this is where we ended up.

 

Cut the Masterboard to size and using the Faux Stitch stamp: 'Stitches and Dots' by crescendo create the border.

Cut out the birds and attach to the masterboard.

 

The text is by Sizzix Thinlits. I cut this in black and white and then overlapped them to create a shadow and attached this to a black DL card.

 

Then completed the card by adding black gems to the corners and the eye of the largest bird.

I couldn't resist adding one of the birds to the inside and the sentiment is by Inkylicious 'Be Whatever'. 

 

Still have some of this Masterboard left so you can expect to see more cards made soon.

 

 I would love to hear your comments.

 

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,
