Country View Crafts Challenges

Happy New Year to you all.  I hope that you enjoyed the festive period.

The year has gone in a flash and I cannot believe we are into the first challenge of the month.  The first challenge is 'Landscapes / Cityscapes'.

Here is my first project



I started this project by using Distress Oxides in Chipped Sapphire, Scattered Straw and Brushed Corduroy.


I created my background using the wrinkle free distress method, drying each colour before using the next to avoid creating 'mud'.


I stamped the America cityscape from the Tim Holtz set.  I love this set.  So useful.


To finish, I die cut the lace in black card and added these to the top and bottom of the card.  I then mounted the card onto a sheet of black card stock.

I hope that I have inspired you to join in.  Don't forget to add your projects to the Country View Crafts blog.  You may be in with a chance to win a gift voucher to spend in the shop.

Happy crafting!
Miriam

  9. That's a great colour combination, and works brilliantly with the cityscape stamp - a foggy day with shafts of sunlight breaking through - magical!
