Kraft it Up July Challenge


This months challenge was something you wish or want in the future.  This is my take on it and it was so hard to find a photo with me and my two children because I'm always on the other end of the camera.  And now for a few close-ups.


To achieve the result on the flourish I painted it with Gesso then added ground rock salt and finally inked it with Distress Ink.  I saw a fabulous tutorial by Michelle Grant over at Dusty Attic so I followed part of it, Michelle's technique is very clever and the results look amazing.
Products Used:
Graphic45 Kraft Reflections Collection
Kaisercraft Miss Match Die Collection and Key
Dusty Attic Corner Flourish
Tim Holtz Distress Ink,
Prima Chipboard Spool
Petaloo Flowers & Vine
Gesso, Twine, Ticket, Vintage Buttons, Clockface,
Marvy Markers, page from antique book, unknown alpha.

  8. HI.. this looks fabulous.. so much to look at, and all the details.. and a great photo... and no I havent heard from Daring you to scrap.. I think a new lady has taken it over, and perhaps she has been busy or life has thrown her a curve ball or something. I hope we hear from her soon.. a new month very soon!!
