July - Elizabeth

The theme for this swap was 'Elizabeth' - first of 6 months with some very interesting themes - on this one I have used my Cuttlebug embossing folder Queen of hearts on a background I made using Starburts stains from Lindys Stamp Gang, then sanded the embossed background. Stamped Liz onto some textured white card and spritzed her with some glimmermist - made the flower from newspaper using Tim Holtz dies and did a Jane Clark technique with spritz sprays, heatgun and scrunching (lol) added some Collection scrabble alphas for the name - German Scrap (of course) highlighted with antique gold gilding wax and the small coin used in the centre of the flower which was also rubbed with gilding wax and some Stazon was one of 6 items which we received and have to use one on each project for the next 6 months - so off to NZ it goes and looking forward to receiving lots of yummy art in return...
