Family

Hello, I have a layout to show using the the new brick template 12x12" from Kaisercraft.
Love getting the gesso & paints out & getting messy....so much fun.


I have also used the new collection 'Miss Empire' from Kaisercraft. Love the colours in this paper.
The flowers are from Petaloo.

I have used Brown & white paint to go over the top of the bricks to give it a sandstone look. Once the paint was dry I used tea-dye Tim Holtz ink pad & bark ink pad from Kaisercraft & using my finger rub the inks on to the brick egdes to darken them up & make them stand out more....
I have used the sewing machine to go around the edges & in a bit.


Hope you like my layout & thank you for visiting...

All the best
Kerry

Shadow Box Tutorial...


Hello, I have made a shadow box using the digi stamp 'Hope' & the rubber stamp 'Lili  Awaresses ribbon' from Inky Impressions.



How to make the shadow box tutorial...

You will need card 16cm x 16cm, measure in to 2cm around all edges ( see below).


You will need another piece of card 17.5cm x 17.5cm.


With that piece of card using around the page punch, punch all sides (see below).
Then lay box card on top ( see photo below ) & mark it 2cm lines.


Come in another 2cm on all sides, this should leave you with a 8cm square in the centre to cut out (see below).


Now cut each corner as shown in above & below photos.
Fold in ( see below ).


See photo below for were to cut, come in 2cm for each of the 4 cuts.
Fold & stick together.


Now place frame on box as shown in below photo.


Cut pattern paper to fit inside back & sides.


Now decorate your shadow box....


My finished shadow box....
