Inka Gold Wall Hanging......



Good morning all, happy Wednesday.

Well, what can I say......but......a HUGE thank you to everyone that came and supported my Craft Event at the weekend and made it a roaring success. I really do appreciate all your support and loyalty that you give to me and it was so lovely to hear all your lovely comments and emails about the event day since.

 As you all know a lot of effort and organisation goes in to the annual event day but I could not do it without my lovely friend Kirsten who keeps me sane!....... and all the team, Jan, Rosemary, Kate, Jo, Julie E, and also help from Donna, Julie H, Mavis, Angela and Carole.

Also a big personal Thank You to this years demonstrators, my great crafting buddies Jenny from Hobby Art and Karen Clare and also my soul sister Sue Baker and bruv Harvey Baker from Imagination Crafts, so blown away to have you there. 

The day was fabulous and went so quickly and we will be posting many more pictures from the day on Facebook soon, if you missed the last ones click on this post HERE......

 My Inka Gold project for this week is a sample that I made for the last class using a cardboard plaque I had in my stash......

I covered it with various pieces of embossed card, overlapping some of them to add texture to it. I die cut some Tim Holtz' Poinsettias from grunge board and stuck the layers of flowers to the plaque and added grey board buttons to the centre of them. I also die cut and embossed two Tim Holtz Butterflies, I wanted the butterfly to overhang the plaque so attached the first layer of it at the bottom. I also added some large adhesive pearls to the piece.... I then painted black gesso over the whole
thing......


I then started to add Inka Gold to the piece using my finger, until I was happy with it....


Then I buffed it up with some dry kitchen towel to make it shine....

I added a couple of metal embellishments, scissors to the centre of the butterfly, a lock and a believe charm......


A closer look at the details.....

Well, that is all from me for now, thanks for popping by to take a peek.
Have a great week and I will be back next week with more makes.......

Big hugs
