Challenge #113

Use Thread or Bead

This fortnights challenge 'Use Thread or Beads' has been chosen by Josephine.

I love this week box that I made on my laser and so proud of myself as it is totally my own design.  My maths is not the best so working out how to sort the placement of the holes for the side panels and size of panels so everything fitted perfectly was a real learning curve, that goodness for awesome software that helped big time lol.  The image which I etched on the lid of the box is by Aurora Wings.  Once the box was sanded, varnished and assembled I then added a some gold bead around the base which I threaded onto fishing line and then glued.

   Anything Goes with an option of Christmas

Welcome back to the IKEsWORLD challenges :)  do pop on over to IKEsWORLD to join in the challenge, it is always so much fun and  Ike produces the most amazing stamps, everything from off the wall to cute and fluffy :) :) :) 

For this challenge I made a tea-light holder using Angel #4 Front and Back - I only used the front of the image.  I etched the Angle image onto plywood and offset the outer line to create a cutting line leaving an edge between the etching and the cut.  Next I stained the wood with Promarkers trying although not very successfully to have a shaded wood effect.  An electronic candle was placed in the candle holder section.  I really should have taken the pic in the evening when you can really see how the glow of the candle illuminates the angel.

Challenge #112

Red, White and Blue

This fortnights challenge 'Red, White and Blue' has been chosen by Christine.

Another digital card created on Photoshop from me this fortnight.  I do love playing with digital creations, something I generally find very relaxing to do.  For this creation I created a white background and added a red overlay along with embossed textures.   The blue background was created with watercolour brushes and 70% opacity as I wanted this to be strong colours but show a bit of texture.  Finally a white dandelion and some white text with drop shadow added to make it pop a bit.
