It's a Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog - Challenge 5 - Tina's Sketch

This is the Sketch hch Tina has designed for us over on the challenge blog. She wanted us to use a blue theme.
Here is the card I have made. I used the boy's cd (or Guy's as it is sometimes called) for the papers and topper.



The brads I have customised by changing the colour, by dipping them in embossing powder and heating. I love doing this with brads when I don't have the right colour for my project.

Thanks for looking
Hugs

Mixed media clock

Then used various stencils and embossing paste. I dried this and then added a coat of black gesso and left it to dry over night.  This morning I added some colour onto it using Pebeo Dyna paints. I added die cut numbers cut out of silver mirror card. However I wasn't happy with it as it was too dark for what I wanted it for and thought the silver numbers didn't go with it. So I sat back and looked at it and decided I wanted it lighter.  Well no loss as out came my heavy white gesso and I gave it a good coating.
