Mix & Match... Part Quatre

... I promise I won't do the whole french counting thing again... well, for a wee while at least!   Here I am again with my last piece for Jones DT using Kaisercraft Mix & Match papers.  This time I have made a hanging... and of course, I couldn't allow paper useage without the addition of one of my Tattered Roses...



The base is mountboard that I have layered up with some of the papers from the collection - I love kraft and black together, it is a really classy look (IMO)  Please excuse the wonky photo, I tried and better tried to straighten it up but it still looks a bit wonky!  And I can't re-take the photo as the artwork has already been posted off to Jones... memo to self, always take two photo's just in case like!  Anyways, layered up papers and then I cut out some of the doily's from the doily paper sheet... inked them with Antique Linen and then edged with Vintage Photo and applied the to the top layer... I curled up the edges of the doily's to give the piece a little more dimension.  The sentiment was cut from the sentiment sheet... but it was too big for the hanging so I cut it up into individual words and then layered them onto black card, a cool tip for when you have a sentiment but it won't fit... chop it up!    The rose was cut using Tim's Tattered Florals and then inked with Barn Door to add a smidge of colour and formed into a rose... I added a couple of Tattered Leaves too and then popped some of the delish buttons made by Jones of Nottingham... I love these!!!   A bit of rusty wire for the hanging and voila, done!



That's all from me for today... I will be back again tomorrow with a little sample I have made for my demo day at Coleman's Rushden (on Saturday)... am rather chuffed with the way it turned out... something slightly different for me too ;O))   Thanks for looking... TTFN
