Missed the bus!

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all well, thank you so much for taking the time to drop by.

Today I am showcasing a project that I put together for the fabulous Tim Holtz inspired challenge blog A Vintage Journey. Unfortunately I missed the deadline but I thought I would show it anyway just to prove the effort was made. 

The project done within a Tando Frame.



 

The frame is quite large 12" x 12" with an aperture of  10" x 10" so there was quite a big space to fill, there again there were a good few stamps to fill it.  So I painted the frame black and stamped all my images onto some of Tim's papers, cut them down to the size I wanted and then glued them onto mount board to give them some depth.

 

 

I used my watercolour brush and distress paints to colour in the images, I also used a white pen and a fine archival pen here and there to add highlights. 

 

 

Wording was added to the tiles using dictionary pages, Rub ons, tissue tape and chit chat stickers

 

 

Each tile was given a coat of glue and seal to make the enhance the colours, and when dry, I also went around the edges with a permenant marker pen and distress ink.

 

 

The background was made with a mix of distress paints and brayered stains, followed by distress ink with spritz and flick technique

 

 

Some of the tiles were given extra depth with 2 or 3 layers of black 3d tape

 

 

Tissue tape and metal corners were added to the Edges of the frame

 

 

And the project was finished

 

 

Hope you like it
