...hello everyone, today I'm sharing with you my DT piece for It's Crafting Time...the theme for this week is our supplied product...
...I have made a card using the Compass Mini Mask by Tim Holtz...
...the background paper is from 'crowded Attic' by Tim Holtz, I placed the mask and lightly inked the whole piece with old paper distress ink for that aged feel...
...the mask is fabulous and gives great effect, I added some ideaology spinners...
...I finished off with a sentiment very apt for travel, some burlap and an idealogy disc tied with twine, I hope you like it...
...It's Crafting Time stocks a vast range of products in store if you live locally but if not check out their on-line shop here http://itscraftingtime.blogspot.co.uk/
...It was the first time I have used a mask and found it very easy and loVed the amazing effect...
...thank you for stopping by today & a huge thank you to my followers old & new for all your kind & encouraging words...

Love it. The spinning arrow thingys are fabulous with the mask image.
ReplyDeletefabulous make mel...I need to go and look my mini masks which are hiding their bushel somewhere in the cubbyhole...hugs kath xxx
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you've used a background paper to start - this inspires me to do that as I rarely use them as a starting point. I think the one small touch of 'colour' lifts the whole card and of course, those spinners are a wonderful final touch! When I saw the thumbnail for this gorgeous creation, I thought it was going to be a canvas - now there's a thought. . . . . you would make an amazing job if it was!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week,
Juliaxx
Love it! All the layering and textures work so well. Except I can't get the image out of my head of a small pixie running around with a TH mini mask on....sorry, told you I was weird :)

love the colours, the blue really stands out over the browns/natural colours. I love the little details like the string and mini staples holding everything in place.

A wonderful project - great details.
ReplyDeleteThat is really nice, captures that "distress feel', that's for sure. I'll have to get out that mask, I'm sure i have it somewhere. Did you say that was old paper distress ink? I've never heard of that. Barb
