I just love that the Crafter's Companion download papers (which are totally free by the way!) include sentiments! I first printed the green linen-look paper and the then printed the sentiment onto the same piece of cardstock.
The tiny figures are something I've had since childhood! I really enjoyed being able to incorporate them into a project at last. I die cut the leaves from the same green paper from the download set and stamped them with a crackle stamp. The berries are made from air dry clay and painted with shimmer paint and a little white gesso.
The moss for the project was preserved by boiling in a water/glycerine mix which means it will stay nice and soft for a long long time! The bark was dry brushed with a little white metallic paint.
A twig and more of the die cut leaves highlight the Petal Lu flowers perfectly!
Metal hardware + a few jewellery findings = a perfect hanging trinket to add interest to the project!
The feathers, which were digital images as part of the download set, were printed onto That Craft Place Super-Smooth card before being coloured with Copics & Promarkers. These were cut out and shaped before being attached with Collall 3D Glue Gel.
The mushroom stamp (by Sheena Douglass) was coloured with Copics and fussy-cut. The pine cones dry brushed with white metallic paint.
The frame of the printers tray itself was painted with Cosmic Shimmer Paint and, once dry, given a good coat of the Crafters Companion Spray & Sparkle to really bring out the bling! These photos just don't do it justice!
