Welcome
It was only the other day that I realised that my last post was my 1,500th, and it has occurred in my 15th year of blogging. An interesting numerical coincidence. I somehow don't think I will be blogging for another 15 years....
Once more the birthday's of the fishermen in the family have rolled around, and this was made for a January birthday...
I saw this technique online, but cannot find the source now.
I masked off the edges, and inked with some deep brown ink, then basically one takes a series of similar coloured washi and or card strips, (snippets) (I also used some hessian ribbon) and about a third of the way up the card, form a criss-cross pattern, then adhere the focal image over it.
I did that with this fish image, that was embossed on a snippet of ink sprayed card and fussy cut, and mounted on foam dots.
The sentiment came out of my 'magic mug' of stamped and die cut sentiments
I decided the card needed a wee bit more, so masked the image and stripes, and sprayed a copper mica spray over the opening. The lower section was a bit messy, but it 'worked', and I was pleased with the result
A few black enamel dots and I called the front finished, then finished the inside of the top opening card with some more of one of the washi taped I used on the front.
