Tag for Aperture Fun!

Hello Peeps

Over at Unstampabelles the final week for Challenge #93: Create an Aperture or Recess is underway and the TWIST this month is to layer your work.

I made a tag to include with a present that will mean I don't have to make a card as well.

 I used a die to create the circle aperture

Behind it I used a print I had pulled while playing with my new Gelli Plate

This is acrylic paint and stencil experimentation

The sentiment is also die cut 

The butterflies are purchased.

I cut a large tag and just assembled it as you see.

Photo's taken in sun and shade. 

If you are wondering why not Tassie photo's -

life is a bit frenetic. 

I have a brother in hospital atm with an infection from an operation

 to remove a brain tumour and so any extra time

e is taken up dealing with the overflow. 

He is doing OK considering but its a bit stressful. 

Anyway- you have five days to enter the challenge at Unstampabelles

Yes, there is a prize for the random number draw.

 Hello Peeps!

Today I made a card for the second week of the Unstampabelles Challenge#93

Time for Recess (Apertures)  

TWIST Luscious Layering

I went through all the scraps on my desk that have been building up all year and found bits!

Then I began layering.....

Once I had found my layers I started the aperture by die cutting a rectangle 

from a piece of white card (SU Whisper White) 

I have several similar frames already die cut and this added a third, 

so I layered them together too with some glue to enlarge the recess.

I put some acetate behind the aperture

and glued the built up frame into this recess. 

Behind it I had layered:

#a piece of foiled background

#a cream die cut frame

#a circle of bronze card

#a blue corrugated heart

On the top of the acetate I added 

#the die cut girl

#part of a sentiment cut from a bronze card scrap

Then I layered all this lusciousness onto a blue card

I love the sparkle of the background

Taken in the weak sunshine of today it is a bit less flamboyant but still beautiful!

So, I got to use up some of the bits I couldn't throw away

and I got to create a card with a recessed bit to it!
