It's Saturday and time for another Basic Grey Challenge! and for this weeks challenge we would like to see some texture on your creations, texture can be achieved is so many ways, but to name a few to give you some ideas, how about heat embossing, dry embossing, flock, felt, glitter, glossy accents, the list could go on
Well, I haven't posted for a little while, just sooo busy right now...Here's my creation for the BG challenges and I have added LOTS of texture....
The back I have ripped all edges. The dry embossing on the green I have highlighted with a smidgen of acrylic paint and embellished with some gorgeous lace.
The flower layer is... felt, paper, chipboard, glittered brad (reminds me of jelly tot) I created it by covering BG brad with glossy accents and dunking into pot of glitter. Then left to dry! I have placed the flower onto chipboard decorative accent!
The bird has to be my favourite bit, I have die cut it with double sided adhesive sheet on top of the decorative paper and rubbed fun flock all over. It's better IRL, it feels so velvety and lovely!
Now the sentiment I've really banjaxed... I wanted it flocked and it messed up the words so I rubbed it off but some of the flocked stayed and so I then decided that it's actually a texture so I kept it. I've cut with my nestabilities. I could call it a happy accident and I bet no one would have noticed with all the other fancy stuff going on, LOL!!! Butterfly has been embellished with glitter on the wings
