Japanese lady on large trellis frame - hand coloured  home decor piece Hi Craft addicts! I had created this background some time ago and thought it would go well with this Japanese Lady die cut from Tattered Lace.... How I made this project:- I used 3 different colours of Cosmic Shimmer's Opal Polishes - Parakeet Blue, Blushed Peach and Pink Thistle to cover both parts of this large (A5 approx) Trellis Frame that Dreamees sell. I used my fingers to blend some of the colours in and then added extra to give it some texture and left it to dry. I cut out the Japanese Geisha lady die (from Tattered Lace) in some white card - I did wonder if I would colour it in at all but decided against it as I thought it would stand out more if plain. I masked off all sides of a cream piece of card and coloured it in using Pinks, Yellow and Green Tim Holtz Distress Crayons and blended them in with a waterbrush. I then added some Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders (Candy Pink, Fireworks Bu...

Japanese Lady behind screen A4 picture frame -  Day 267 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I have to say that I am so pleased with the way this project has turned out - one of my successes if I say so myself... I have used an A4 picture frame to create this stylish home decor product! How I made this project:- I had cut out the Japanese Geisha Woman (from Tattered Lace) ages ago in black card and had always wondered what to do with her and suddenly had this idea... I first of all took an A4 sheet of Orange Create & Craft's Citrus Burst Linen card from their Core collection and made sure that it fitted this A4 Certificate Picture frame (which I got on Ebay). I then cut out the Trellis Background die (from Tattered Lace) in black card (from Lynda Chapman's World of Paper) (there are 2 dies - a background and the main trellis) and placed it over a piece of vellum/parchment and stuck it down around the edges and few of the stars (where it wouldn't s...

Japanese lady hand coloured in window A4 window frame -  Day 128 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! This started out as a card but I thought it would be better shown as a wall hanging - I have used Tattered Lace dies, various inks and some alcohol markers in an A4 picture frame. How I made this project:- I took a window aperture card (from Hunkydory) and took the panels out. I also cut a second card up as I knew the back would be the exact fit. Rare Earth have produced a lovely set of stamps with a Japanese theme, and I stamped the sun (or moon) out on to the smaller panel using Dried Marigold and Mustard Seed Tim Holtz distress inks in the right hand corner. I used the bridge stamp and stamped it twice towards the bottom of the cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black ink (making sure it was in the right position by placing it behind the window aperture. I coloured the grass in using Dreamees Dinky Inkies inks (mini cubes) and then the sky using blue inks (Tim...
