I’m a damsel, I’m in distress, I can handle this

My card today features Megara Honey from Sassy Design Studios and has been made for the current challenge at Colouring in Scrapland, where I have the pleasure of being a guest DT.

The theme is inspired by a movie and their sponsor is Sassy Design Studios.  I’ve gone with Disney’s Hercules.  I really want the Tim Holtz Paper Mosaic Kit but don’t have it yet so I had to improvise for my Grecian inspired background.  I printed my background using the tile texture in Photoshop and then used the printed ‘grout’ line as my cutting lines.  I used white modelling paste for grout, which dries really fast so I had to work in very small sections.  When I was finished I covered my ‘tiles’ in Diamond Glaze.  I have to say I am really happy with how it turned out.

Here is a close up of the image and mosaic.

 

Inspired by the Grecian urns in the movie, I found a die in my collection that had the right pattern and cut my circles.  I went for a circle easel card to create a bit of a theatrical background for my image, a nod to the movie inspiration.  For my embellies I used some Tim Holtz Idea-ology Boxwood Twine as a proxy for the laurel leaves the gods wear and painted my flowers blue to match the background, which features a scene from the actual movie.

As I have a white frame and background to my base (bit hard to tell in the photo that has come up a bit yellow), I am entering my card in the current just add W challenge at Just Add Ink.  With my very circular shape I am also entering my card in the current challenge at C.R.A.F.T.  Over at Moving Along With the Times they are looking for leaves on projects, I have those with my Boxwood Twine so I am also linking my card up there.
