Yeah!! This week Linda at Studio L3 chose page 55 for our challenge! Tinted Vision Fragments! I confess...when I first got my Compendium of Curiosities, this was the only technique that totally grabbed me and I knew I'd be trying it out. (Needless to say...I'm very glad I'm in this challenge, as I have 6 other "go-to" techniques now in my tool-box!) Now, while thumbing through the Compendium when it first arrived, I new immediately that Ophelia from Stampsmith would be my subject! Thank god there's a fragment that fits her! I can't believe I don't have Espresso ink, but Latte, Ginger and and Slate did the trick. The tag background is Crushed Olive, Bundled Sage, Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo DI's, with Mustard Seed Distress Embossing Powder on the corner flourishes. (see..a technique from two weeks ago!) I really love this effect...so to all my card recipients...expect to see some fragments in the future!
And here is a close-up for Ophelia: I forgot to mention, I used Spun Sugar, Barn Door and Dried Marigold DI's to color her in.
Kim: WOW!!! You did Ophelia proud! She looks amazing in her colorful fragment, and your entire tag is stunning! So cool that you used the Distress Embossing Powder, too-- it looks fab!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you enjoyed the Challenge, and am always thrilled to behold your lovely art! ♥

Hi Kim, Thanks for stopping by my blog. My problem was following directions...I applied the blending solution with everything but the felt pad tool (what is that thing called?). I love the idea of adding it to a journal, thanks for that. Anyway, your piece is really beautiful. I love that you incorporated other techniques and the fibers are a lovely touch.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Love the colors you've used, and your fragment came out beautifully!!
