It has been so very hectic for me of late as I am sure it is for everyone. I had about 6 birthdays and a wedding going on along with Thanksgiving and having the family here for dinner. So with all going on I was not sure I would be able to get the project done this week for the Crafty Creations design team that I am on, but I did get one done.
This week out hostess is Bernie and our sponsor is
The challenge this week is to use a picture as your inspiration, follow the picture, color etc, however you interpret it. I normally shy away from this kind of challenge as I think I have a hard time with them, never knowing to follow the photo, color or whatever. So I went ahead and tried it I am pretty pleased at how it turned out. Here is the photo inspiration
Interesting and so many ways you can take it, so here is what I came up with
I am so excited with how it turned out! What do you think, can you see the photo in it or what I was trying to convey?
The desk is cut from the French Manor cartridge (Circle exclusive) at about 2.75 inches, I cut it from plain white cardstock ( I do this a lot to check on sizes) then I covered it with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink and distressed embossing powder and heat embossed it. . It has a lot of texture to it and way happy with the way it resembled wood. I cut it again from chipboard and glue them together to give it more weight to pop dotted it. Added some gold half pearls for the handles on the drawers. The "mirror" I cut using the Fancy Frames cartridge at about 2 inches, out of a metallic DCWV paper and added a layer of foil silver for the mirror part.
Using some stickers I had I embellished the whole thing to make it look like it was decorated for the holidays. I think I will add the sentiment "Deck the Halls".
Thanks for stopping in, please let me know what you think of my card and we would love to have you join in the challenge this week at Crafty Creations.
