So this is my second background piece
done with Tim's Distress Stains... I used Faded jeans, Spun Sugar,
Forest Moss, misted with water, tilted and dried. Then stamped the
small flourish with Versafine Toffee and embossed with Queen's Gold
embossing powder. Made a template and cut out my triangles for my
fan. I scored and folded my
white card, cut out a piece of this gorgeous brown faux leather
paper in a fan shape and adhered it to the front. Adhered my
triangle pieces letting the brown show through between the splits. I
then punched out the Iron Gate (Martha Stewart) to give me a
template for my pikes on the fan which I then hand cut, so my front
is only the fan itself. I also used the punch on the bar to hang my
Kimono, hand cutting the bar between the punched sections. At the
very end I added dots of Liquid Pearls "Cantaloupe".
On the inside I adhered a piece of
white metallic of these gorgeous papers I just got. The kimono I cut
from some white cardstock, embossed with the Sakura Blossoms
embossing folder from the Oriental set, direct to paper with the
Distress Spun Sugar pad. Layered it over an aqua kind of bluish
metallic paper (another of my gorgeous papers BIG GRIN). The Obi is
a slice of the fan decorated paper. The bar it's hanging from is
brown cardstock. I stamped the Asian characters for Happy Birthday
(Sunday International "Kanji" set) with Versafine Black Onyx and
clear embossed it.
The rose on the front is from a
tutorial I found on line (stampartic.blogspot) and made from 67#
white cardstock. I cut the 5 petal flowers with my electronic
cutter, Misted with various Shimmer Mists & Perfect Pearls mists
(Perfect Peach, Red velvet, Heirloom Gold & Copper) doing one tone
on one side and another tone on the reverse. Followed the tutorial
that she explains beautifully. I then cut a rose leaf, sponged with
Distress Shabby Shutters and Forest Moss and put veins on with a
Micron pen. |
