Hello Crafty Peeps,
It's time for another challenge at The Paper Shelter and this week our theme is MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND.
I was going to make a card but decided on a canvas, using 'The Incantation'
I started with Distress Inks to give the canvas some colour, then used texture paste through a brick wall stencil. Once that was dry I inked over the bricks.
I drew vines, then brushed on more texture paste to give them some dimension, and coloured them with Distress Inks.
I wanted to give my fairy bright colours that I don't usually use when I colour fairies.
I love being able to create sentiments using Cricut now so I can have actual metallic colours for the words!
Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.
Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!
You can also share your creations over in our Facebook Group.
