I decided which
quote I would use for the challenge.
I thought about
what the wow challenge ANTQUE meant to me. It conjured up images of art deco,
old, brown and rusty colours.
Now to start
crafting.
- I chose a digi background and then a digiboss so that i could have the embossed background look but not the bulk.
- Designed tags with the quote written on them
- Printed onto smooth paper. Cut and stuck to my journal page. 1st mistake! When i heat embossed the paper sort of bubbled up a bit! Obviously i should have stuck it down before embossing because the heat affected the glue!! I never learn because done this before!! Lol
- Stamped and embossed background.
- I coloured in the bee. I have embossed him in gold but it didn’t turn out too good because my ink pad was a little dry!
- Stamped flower onto Kraft card and coloured in with distress pens. Cut it out.
- Distress inked the edges of the page and around the flower.
- Stuck flower and tags to the bumpy page.
Hopefully you
can't really notice the bumpy page.

The page has a really antique feeling to it, and a little bumpiness is all part of the charm.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from The Craft Barn - Your page is fabulous Jane - and definitley unique and I'm sure it fits your antique challenge perfectly too :o)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful page; love the background which gives the impression of lace. Beautiful image too
ReplyDeletePS Do you think you could please turn off the verification? It is so difficult to read the numbers/letters and puts folk off leaving comments :)
Deletehi, i think i have managed to turn it off!. took me ages to find it but hopefully sorted. thanks for letting know, im new to all this but learning something new everyday. :)
DeleteI came from the Craft Barn, but the word "rust" caught my eye. I love rusty goodness, which makes anything quite antique. I also like the texture of this entry. It's truly unique!!
ReplyDeleteI am editing this after not getting the words right THREE times. I hope the fourth time is a charm, now that I've added more words.
Lovely page in a rusty , antique style!
