Music

 Hi!  We are celebrating Music at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge this time!  Laura has asked us to be inspired by the theme of music.  

 

I started rummaging around in my vast supply for music related items.  I ended up with a old volume of songs, some tissue tape with music scores, a snapshot image that looked like a choral group, :) and a ticket to the theater.  How does that all come together? 

 

I started by making a few backgrounds using the music layering stencil and sponging on distress ink. 

Next up was some translucent embossing paste with the same stencil.  

I tore up the various pieces along with pages from a song book.  I sponged everything to add a distressed edge.  

Mainly it was layering together all the bits and pieces with a few images butterflies and the photo. 

Come join us on the challenge!  The overall winner will be offered the chance to be a Guest Designer at a future date  at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog, and everyone who enters and follows the rules will go into the drawing for the chance to win a $25.00 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique. There are also Top 3 Badges for three additional outstanding entries, chosen by the Design Team.

Thanks for stopping by!

Deck the Halls

Today I am back with a tag and a card inspired by Linda's 12 Tags of Christmas Week #4.  This is a weekly challenge hosted by Linda and sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique with wonderful prizes.  You just need to play along for all 12 weeks and have an opportunity to win.

Linda's lovely tag had black die cut images with music behind them and that had me thinking about this vintage gent and how I haven't used him very much. 

 I die cut a few different ones and then decided to play around with him on a tag and a card.   I didn't quite get there with either.  A lot of times I let things sit for multiple days until I get an inspiration on what to do to finish it off.

I tried something different on each of these so I was happy with my playing sessions.  On the tag I ended up smearing a layer of black embossing paste along the bottom and the top to give it a gradient effect. (A mistake I was trying to fix)  I like how it gave a nice dark shadow. 

On my card I had shadowed my image and sentiment with watercolor and black pencil but decided to add texture and outline it with a mix of black and gold glitter. 

Something fun and different.  Please go check out Linda's blog and her challenge!  Every week she delights us with a new tag and inspiration!
