Challenge #228
Theme 'Anything Goes with Something New'
For my creation this fortnight I have used the image Tall Bounty Ship by Kaz Kraftz. I need a few items for the men folk hence choosing this image to work with. Now for the 'Something New' - for this I have designed a new box to sit on a desk to hold the likes of Post-Its. Normally I make this sort of thing as a card so this is my something new. I am also using some new crayons my hubby bought me, Derwent Artist, a wax based crayon. So there we have it, two new things in this creation :)To begin with I made the inside box to hope the Post-Its and a pencil. I airbrushed the outside of the box with my Promarker.
Next I cut the card for the outside and covered this with blue hessian material.
Once the digi was coloured with the crayons I mounted it on navy card and placed this on another mount made of water vellum. To embelish the front I used copper metal sheet and an anchor die by Marianne Designs.
Oh dear a problem, I don't have any copper coloured brads. Time to put the thinking cap on. In the end I used the copper metal sheet again and punched out four small circles using the brad sealing tool I have. Worked a treat.
To finish off I lined the inner part of the box with some more hessian and added another anchor. For the pencil I used a freebie from IKEA <g> and coloured it with my promarker. I then added an anchor brad which went into the wood very easily and one of the copper dots I made. The other three dots were added to the front of the box.

Fabulous project Jane. Like you I tend to have done this sort of thing as an easel card but I really must have a go at the box. Love the image too. Those tall ships are just so impressive! Hugs Christine xx OSAAT Teamie.
ReplyDeleteGreat material for your post it note holder. I just never think of fabric when doing my projects, maybe you have inspired me to give it a try. Sending hugs.
