Today’s new challenge at AAA Cards is to make a monochrome card. Monochrome in this context does not necessarily mean without colour – different shades of the same colour are allowed. I chose to go with a greyscale monochrome and produced this masculine card:
Here are some more previews of projects I will be demonstrating at Daisy’s Jewels and Crafts in April. I’ve created a couple of art journal pages using Carabelle Studio‘s ‘Steampunk Man Portrait’ ‘Steampunk: Machine à remoter le temps’ with ‘Collage Texte et Négatif’. The second page features ‘The here and now’. And the third features Birgit Koopsen’s ‘Leafs’.
Here’s this afternoon’s work – lining and taping a small Tim Holtz configurations shadowbox. I’m aiming for the box to be filled with ephemera evoking Victorian times with a steampunk feel to it. Quite pleased with it so far, but found the tissue tape to be less adherent than I would have liked. Three of the boxes are lined with paper of my own making – using various Tim Holtz stamps and distress inks: I inked the stamp with the same colour pad as I then used to swirl colour on with foam application tool. The tone-on-tone gives it a nice aged look.
