613 Avenue Create Challenge #90

Hi Crafters,

***If you are looking for my Christmas Card Club entry please scroll down to the previous post, thanks.***

Two weeks have rolled by again and I am here with my DT inspiration for the challenge at 613 Avenue Create.

 I chose to create a picture in a frame.

 



 Recipe

5" x 7" Picture Frame

Image - Cupcakes & Candy Factory - Inky Impresssions

Promarkers

Sentiment Stamp - LOTV

Go Kreate large Oval Die

Embellishments from the grid

 

I printed this lovely image three times then cut out and paper pieced it for dimension after colouring with my Promarkers. I added glossy accents to the cherry and sweets and glitter to the swirling smoke from the chimney. I decided to die cut the image with a large Go Kreate Oval die and use the solid colour paper as the background in the frame. Although this is a 3d project it will fit in the frame with the glass to keep it clean but for photo taking purposes I have left the glass out.
Here's a full frontal...


 

 

...and a side view to show the layers...

 

 



 

Our challenge this time was to use this grid for the elements of our project .

 

 

I have circled the elements that I used, I'm sure this will give you all some ideas so you can play along with us.

613 Avenue Create DT Post - #84 Sights/Sounds/Tastes of Summer

Hi Everyone,

** If you are looking for my Christmas Card Club project please scroll down to the previous post **



This is my first DT post for 613 Avenue Create and I was so very honoured and excited to be asked by Kathi to join the lovely ladies on the Design Team.
Our challenge theme this time is 'Sights/Sounds/Tastes of Summer' and our fabulous sponsors are:

QKR Stampede

 





The Stamping Chef

 

Flat Friends Boutique

 

Lee's Digi Shop

 

 

I went with an image from QKR Stampede and decided it would suit a stepper card.
 

 

 I also tried something new for me - 3d paper piecing. I have been watching Mariska and Debby on their blogs doing this and although I new it was a tricky technique I was not prepared for the intricateness and time it took me to complete it, lol. I did enjoy doing it but, hats off to you two ladies, this technique is hard. The most tricky part I found was deciding which piece to layer on top of another and which piece needed a grey anchor part - go and check out Mariska's blog she has a photo on each project showing the little pieces before they are put together and you will see what I am talking about.

A side view to show the stepper element and a glimpse of the inside.
