LOC Weekly Challenge

This week the Left of Centre (LOC) Challenge blog is sponored by That Crafty Place (Etsy) and has a 3 layers theme if you just want to go LOC!

Here's my DT contributions for this week and you all know I love my eyeballs!!

3 Layers

Materials Used:

Sizzix Tattered Flowers Die

Sizzix Garden Greens

red paint for splattering

glitter for the petals

a spare plastic eyeball for the flower centre

and a sentiment.

Saucy Sally

Materials Used

Digital stamp from ThatCraft Place coloured with Bic Mark-It Pens and Chalk Pastels (skin tone)

Navy Card

White Card coloured with Pan Pastels

White card frame coloured with Bic Mark-It pen (Navy)

Clear Sticky back plastic & glitter for the glitter window

Quote printed from word document.

NOTE: I really struggle to get the skin tone right, it usually looks like a really bad fake tan, 

so this time around I've used my chalk pastels in a rose pink and a taupe brown

and once applied I use a rubber to remove the intensity of colour until I'm happy with it.

Its fair to say I need more practice but I'll get there!!

Not sure this more CAS (clean and simple) look really works for me but its good to try

new styles, isn't it?

Thanks for popping by

Eye Baubles

WOW what an awesome project, thanks for sharing Jas.

Introducing the EYE Baubles. (Yes, eyeballs rock!!)

1. Cut out lots of Christmas baubles (Sizzix Die) from mount board.  

2. I painted both sides with white gesso, then painted with an irridesent white paint. 

The hangers where painted with gesso and then several layers of gold paint.

3. Using a permanent red pen, scribble on the blood shot veins.

4. Using scraps of my hand made tissue fabric (instructions can be found HERE) 

and black card cut out circles and attach.

5. Decorate the eyes with glitter, well it is Christmas after all!!

Next step is to try and make 3D Eye Baubles.  I'll let you know

if I'm successful!!
