Happy March! This has to mean spring is right around the corner, right? This layout is using the
March Sketch Challenge.
As
always, the chipboard pieces are first given a coat of gesso. The
"believe" was inked with black soot distressed ink and then embossed
with Lindy's Stamp Gang Midnight Brown. For the candles, I colored the
flames with yellow and orange markers, embossed the the two end flames
with Iridescent Sparkle and the middle flame with Stampin' Up! - Clear.
The candle is painted white and the holders are embossed with Pirate
Gold and I sprinkled a bit of Gold Tinsel while the embossing was still
hot.
For the ornate side pieces, I took the square-like frame and cut it apart. I used Cocoa, Walnut Stain, Jumbo Java, & Cosmic Copper inks before covering it with Hampton Art embossing powder - Clear. The same technique was used on the leaf pieces except I used Tea Leaves, Jumbo Java, & Hint of Pesto.
