Good morning, I'm popping on today to show you my entry for the Paperartsy Inspiration Challenge and this week I have took inspiration from designer Sue Carrington who's work is truly amazing. The minute I saw her box I knew I wanted to do a similar one for my dad for Fathers Day. This is also my DT creation for this Fortnights Challenge over at That Craft Place Challenge Blog and That Craft Place is where I get some of my Paperartsy products from :-).
My dad loves vintage rock, he built the fireplace himself with these colours
of rock, also mum loves copper (oh yes I can remember those days as a kid with
smelly copper cleaner and scrubbing like mad lol). So hopefully
mum will allow dad to have this in the living room seems it's copper and matches the
fire place lol, normally dad has to have them in his office :-).
I made a huge mistake last night and I didn't realise until this morning when everything
including the glue gel was dry, can you see it!!!! I grabbed a piece of
card that was crackled (concrete on concrete) thinking it was (stone on stone),
hmmmmmmmmmmm not brilliant. I did manage to tone it down with DI pumice stone, which
just noticing now went over the D circle and has darkened it grrrrrrrrr.
Oh well, dad will love it anyway :-)
I should have take a photo of the wood box before hand lol.
It took a lot of dry brushing for this creation, it really gives your arms a good workout :-)
Right I shall be off, I am crafting away (since 6am this morning, don't know why, I was awake and thought why not lol), so I may be back later with another Paperartsy make I started yesterday. Hope you have a fab Sunday and get to do lots of crafting or enjoy the sun if it's out around you.
Happy Crafting :-)
Hugs Kezzy xxxxx
