A Victorian Challenge.......

Hello, bet ya didn't expect me to be back so soon......

Well in an effort to get blogging again I decided to have a go at this weeks challenge on the "Sell Your Craft" group on FB and here is my effort. The brief was "Victorian Era" where you could make anything that had a Victorian theme, which is great for everyone no matter what their crafty preference.



So what did I do............?

Firstly I took an 8 x 8 card and inked the edges with a dark brown ink pad, then cropped a piece of pink patterned paper to 7 3/4 square and again inked the edges with the same ink pad. Next was to cut down a piece of pink paper to approx. 6 x 5 and punched a decorative edge down the right side,again inking the edges to match the rest. This piece I stuck down at an angle to give a bit of interest. Now the image is a computer generated one from copyright free site, re-sized and given the same treatment as all the other papers and again stuck down on the opposite angle to the last. Lace and ribbon were wrapped around and a metal ribbon slide is put onto the picot edged satin. Paper roses have been given a quick spray with gold sparkle and stuck down with hot glue. Finally a little bit of bling to finish it off.........

Hope you like it..............Julie xx
