We have a bit of a tester this time round, We are challenging you to use a total of 13 layers/materials/embellishments.Now this one had me ripping my hair out last night, the best part of the eve was spent making something that just did not look right in the end so wound up in the bin.
Luckily I had Edward here ready to go.
Here is my break down of my 13, I might be stretching slightly but hey ho ;)
1.) Base card for Tag
2.) Material for the texture finish (see Andy Skinner Book Of Ruination)
3,4.) Black andGrey Decoart Acrylic Paint
5.) Treasure Gold Topaz Rub n buff stuff.
6.) Card for Edward
7.) Tim Holtz Chit Chat Sticker 'Imperfection'
8-12.) 5 different shades of Copics
13.) The clear embossing over Edward.
Ok I did say I was pushing the limits of our 13 challenge but that's just how we roll in the dungeon ;) lol.
Luckily Edward fit this challenge, he can also be found over at Lily's Octopode Factory Etsy shop as the sample for the Edward Scissor Hands Digi Image.
Head on over to the Haunted Design House to see some great pieces from our talented Design Team and how they have interpreted the theme.
Thank you for stopping by and hopefully we will see you joining in??

Blimey that's a challenge and a half. I have a feeling that if I attempted it, the bin would end up as the 14th layer lol. You've done a brilliant job with Your Edward tag, love the dark blues in his outfit. And your background texture is fantastic, with the distressed black and orange. Px
ReplyDeleteA brilliant tag, love the fabulous background.
