Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. I hope, wherever you are, that you are experiencing some lovely weather. Adelaide has been cold and overcast for weeks but, today, we finally have some sun!! It's still pretty cold though so all I can say is "Bring on the summer"!!!! OK, down to business ... I have another card to share with you. A very masculine and quite 'grungy' card as my title suggests. I distressed all the edges with my Ingvild Bolme Distressy Tool and inked them with 'Gathered Twigs' Distress Ink. A bit of Heather Jacob influence here I think, but still with my own stamp on it!! If you don't know Heather (Can't really imagine that, but) HERE is the link to her blog if you'd like to take a look!! You won't be sorry, as she creates the most gorgeous and inspiring projects! Looooveeee her work!! The papers used are from Prima's 'Engraver' Collection. The tickets were fussy cut from the papers then I crumpled them a little, inked the edges and slipped them in between the layers. Used a spatula to add some 'Clear Rock Candy' Distress Crackle and, when that was dry, I went over it with 'Gathered Twigs' Distress Ink to bring out the cracks. I then just used my finger to swipe some gesso around the edge. I love how the gesso also 'cracked' when it dried. Used the same technique on the belly band as you can see. I've had the metal key and the clock in my stash for a little while and am not sure where I got those but I really love that key. Was a bit sorry to use it as it is the only one I have but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet don't you?? Here's another closie of the 'crackle' effect. I really love it and you'll be seeing a lot more of this in my work!!! Decorated the inside with wide bands of the paper which were border punched with the 'Optic Dot' Punch by Martha Stewart. Then I added a bit more texture with Tim Holtz 'Latticework' Stencil and 'Frayed Burlap' Distress Ink and, again, wiped a little gesso around the edge on one side. A different view ... lying down ... ... and standing up!! This is the first of two 'grungy' masculine cards I created. The second is similar to this but of course a bit different as well and I will show you that one further down the track. Thank you so much for visiting today and I do hope you enjoy the rest of your day. Take care and God Bless.
Welcome to our Handcrafted Paper Foliage Workshop led by life-long crafter Corrie Beth Hogg. Corrie’s current art practice combines two of her biggest passions… paper crafting and plants! Always falling in love with the intricacy of a new species of plants, Corrie replicates them into sustainable design pieces that are ready to adorn any table, shelf, or mantle. We are exploring two beautiful paper plants: the black gold philodendron (which is actually that beautifully variated green, yellow and red trailing vine!) and the perfectly on-trend silver dollar eucalyptus. This workshop explores texture, color and paper art in a truly beautiful way. Through carefully layered techniques of wet-on-wet watercolor, colored pencil shading, painting, drawing and wire manipulation, Corrie aligns various crafting materials to construct a life-like botanical display. This kit includes the materials to build a full trailing philodendron houseplant plus sprigs of the silver dollar eucalyptus (explore our add-on kit to dive further into this variety). This workshop includes: An in-depth, digital workshop by Corrie Beth Hogg Tools and materials from artisan supplies, curated for you, by Corrie The tools & materials included in this kit: Custom leaf templates A text weight paper packet designed around the colors found in this month's foliage project Wire cutters Craft scissors Paper wrapped floral wire in two sizes: 20 gauge & 24 gauge Floral tape A set of acrylic paints Soft colored pencil kit A bone folder Craft foam A small flat brush & foam brush A white gel pen Tacky glue Happy making!
