feathers & fossils

Greetings,

This is my entry to this week's Less is more challenge - masculine.

I have used an embossed black feather against a background of fossil like bubbles & burshos which were wrapped in clingfilm and left to dry, this has left the background with a subtle pattern and variation in color.

I think that colors make it rather camouflage like.

scraps and chaps

Greetings,

this is my entry to the following challenges:

SanDee & Amelie's steampunk challenges - top hat and mustaches are the 'taches not things of awe?
That's crafty - boys will be boys - 3 lush gents.

I really enjoyed making this card, the background was an experiment with brushos that didn't work but I really liked the chemical spill look it created. I then added scraps including a black card that had been embossed with a  cog like design, finally I added my gents. This is why my craft corner is such a mess, the I can rescue it/change it/use it frame of mind.

wild and free



I got some Brushos for my birthday and I have loved using them.This is a canvas which I have layered with paper scraps before painting with gesso and then I went a bit mental with Brushos. The images are stamp board which has been painted with Bushos and then stamped with visible image stamps which I always seem to end up using at the mo.





I am entering this into the wonderful:

Try it on Tuesday - hot and wild
Craft Stamper- anything goes
crafty card makers - anything but a card
