You’re the best

Challenge #334 – Using Spaghetti to Craft! I know this challenge seems confusing if all you have is the link and title but filling in the blank, explains it. My favourite item to craft with is: Gold. I use it often, although it did take me a while to figure out what I would say and do for this particular challenge. I thought about it quite a lot until the lightbulb went off in my head.

To do my strip, I used vellum and alcohol inks on a sponge. I added some Inka gold with my finger. The vellum curled a bit and I decided to use only a piece of it for my card and will use the leftover on another design. I cut it with a Kokorosa die that leaves a stitched edge. I used multi medium glue paste to add the strip to my card front. The gold heart is one I had saved but it was bigger so I used a smaller Hero Arts die and the resulting frame will be used later. There were a few small marks on my heart so I took the smallest die from the set and cut some tiny hearts which covered them up. Not perfectly but it looks okay to the naked eye. I can’t remember which set the sentiment came from as I had it in my bits and pieces tray.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it and also any comments you may leave for me.

  6. The vellum strip is fabulous! I always find vellum a bit of a tricky thing to use. It either curls up or is very hard to adhere without things showing through. But so worth it when it works well, as it does here. I like the layout too. Thanks for sharing with us again at As You See It.

    1. Thanks Jan. It did curl, but using the matte medium to glue it and then weighting it until dry worked really well and it doesn’t show through.
