My papercraft and card making projects

Sunday 26 February 2012


edited version with added sentiment
 and butterfly and wishes tag
had a little play with some art parts today

i found these plain wooden wall sconces in a charity shop.
covered in black gesso and some metallic goldfinger paste on the edges.
i covered it in some of tim's stash with multi medium
i found a great way to trim it off ;---- when it was completely dry i used a sanding grip on the edges of the card and sanded right through it against the edge of the wood ... it gave a nice edge with a distress to it.  i smooshed some white gesso through a dot mask as part of the background.
i coloured the art parts with stains and stamped in coffee archival various patterns on each shape, then cut a grungepaper flower using the shape of the art parts and added a button to the centre
the front edge has a piece of 'dots' grungeboard cut with the edge scallop die

i think it needs a sentiment or something .... it doesnt feel finished yet

thanks for looking xx

  1. I Love art parts and I think you've done Wendy proud here! I see what you mean about a sentiment - but she's done so many I'm not sure which one to suggest! Looks like you've had a very enjoyable Sunday!
