Sall the Crafty Baker

For this project I fancied doing something a little different so I altered a note book.   It’s for the http://poequoththeraven.blogspot.co.uk/ Challenge.   I have used Ike’s Skelley gossip image and witch image.   I free hand drew the cross and grave, the tree is stamped but I cannot remember but I think it’s a docraft stamp. The background is inked with distress inks and the leaves are heat embossed using a cosmic shimmer embossing powder.   

Wooden quote hearts For this project I bought the heart shapes but they are simple enough to make if you are good at woodwork {I’m not!} or have someone who can do it for you.   I gesso’d the hearts first with a very thin layer so that it wouldn’t take so much ink to cover them.   I inked using dusters…and used shaded lilac, peacock feathers and picked raspberry distress inks.   I had to apply a few coats though so I did this over a couple of days until I got the depth of colour I wanted.   Then I added the liquid pearls around the border.   I stamped the quotes onto acetate and left them to dry with the liquid pearls overnight.   Then I glued the acetate on using glossy accents to create a quick and easy project. As some of you know I’ve had a tricky time lately but despite the ongoing issues craft is now very high on my agenda once again.   Thank you for bearing with me during this time.
