Skelly Cup

Time for another challenge over at

Challenge 32
Paper Piecing

Welcome back to the IKEsWORLD challenges :)  do pop on over to IKEsWORLD to join in the challenge, just remember, you must use and IKEsART image to be eligible for the prize.  Why not pop on over to the store too :), Ike produces the most amazing stamps, everything from off the wall to cute and fluffy :) :) :)

For this fortnights inspiration I used the awesome new digi 'Skelly Cup' which Ike designed for me to use :) Thanks Ike, you are a superstar.  I do love these tea bag boxes and this digi was just perfect.  So here we go on what I did.

I seem to have deleted the first few pics off my camera but I started with cutting the template for my box.  I then printed the image 4 times for the paper piecing.  The first layer was the whole image as usual, second layer the saucer and cup, third layer just the cup and the top layer was the front section of the saucer.

Next I cut the front, back and side panel toppers and stamped these then embossed them with Silver Dollar embossing powder.  I also did the same with the handle section of the box.
 The silver was way to bright, I thought I had Gun Metal embossing powder but alas not. To get around the problem I airbrushed the embossed areas with my black Promarker.  The image is showing this as a bit rusty but in real life it is more a metallic black.
 I coloured the image with Promarkers and then used a die for the bottom section.  The sentiment just came to me as I was about to print, I did have something else in mind but my fingers did the typing and they came up with 'Time for a Brew' hahahaha.  Both the label and the image background were then distressed with black chalk.
 Here you can see the paper piecing, I used 3D glue dots as I did not want to much of a gap between the layers.
 To finish off these sections I use Black mica (Frantage) and some super strong sticky glue to attache the bits.
 The panels, image and sentiment were glued to the box and tea bags added :).  Three buttons were added to the right hand side just to help balance out the front view of the completed project.
