Wings and Things



 I started with the mini home key holder base kit from the Tando Creative using the plinth and mount board back I was keen to try cutting chipboard on the Cricut explore, so decided to cut the birds and foliage using 1250 micron board, which worked fine on a triple cut but I wouldn't advise doing too fine detail 
I painted with DecoArt Titanium White, Williamsburg Blue and then highlighted with Stampendous embossing powders Shabby blue, Aged Aqua & Aged Silver
I stencilled the TIm Holtz doille with Modelling paste, then colour washed with Titanium White, Williamsburg Blue and Prussian blue and then dry brushed with Moss Pearl Dazzling Metallic

The floral border, scallop trim amd heart ribbon were all cut on the cricut and painted as above and highlighted with Dazzling Metallic Espresso and Moss Pearl

The Wings and Things and Papillion stamps, were all painted with Distress Inks

I decided rather than use as a key holder, to make it a note holder by attaching Tims screw eye fasteners, with some rather cool paper clip type fasteners. These are actually Swivels and Quicklink clips and used in fly fishing


Stamped the tags and distressed with Old Paper, Walnut stain and Stormy Sky

    Your projects are so very creative, love this! So you got brave with the Explore....interesting...if I ever locate the thin wood I have stashed in my studio, I shall give it a try. Don't cross your fingers, as I have no idea where it is! Love that you were inspired to try.
