Footy George


This is the card I have made for a special friend's birthday next week.
I have used the football image from the sporting george collection from Charmed Cards and Crafts. This download comes ready coloured or transluscent and I chose to use the coloured one. 
I have chosen the sketch from Sketch Saturday # 159 and followed the recipe from allsorts challenge week 107 - Recipe for the boys. The recipe was 1 Backing Paper, 2 Punches or dies and 3 buttons. I used a corner punch on the blue card pannel and distressed the edge with blue ink. The image has been matted with a nestie. I have added ribbon and silver sentiments as accents.

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:

Mixed media clock

Hi all I'm back today to share a clock I've made.  I started it yesterday evening by adding the texture building stages using white crackle texture paste drying after. 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. Before adding the white gesso I sanded the numbers slightly so that the paint could adhere better and this also gave extra texture. I dried this off and added the Dyna paints again and some Art Alchemy Opal Magic in Rose Gold.  Well I felt much happier with how it was loo...
