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.
