Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes

Morning all,

 

Another week has come and gone and another Friday is upon us. So here's to the new challenge at Crafty Catz. This week's theme has been set by Sassy who is feeling generous and has said 'Anything Goes'.

 

We are sponsored this week by Kenny K Digital images and they are offering one lucky winner 5 digi images of their choice - ooooh you lucky things! Although I can't complain as we do get many of these fab images to play with.

 

My project this week is a door hanger for a feisty girl:

I used the fabulous LilPirate digi from Kenny K and coloured her with promarkers. I picked up a trio of tags at the Hobbycraft show in March for the bargain price of a £1 and it is the largest of the three that I have used here.

The decoupaged map paper is from an old craft calendar that was a freebie (from last year), which I glued onto the front and back. I then hand drew and cut some hinges from white card, which I then embossed with some really old docraft's bronze embossing powder. I then embossed the very edges of the tag with the same powder to give it an aged look.

I printed and hand cut the sentiment, distressed over the top with Tim Holtz faded jeans and layered it all on to mottled ivory circles. I finished the hinges with brown pips, added some red pearl gems and in a stroke of luck found a free pirate treasure printable to finish the reverse. Thread through some bronze organza ribbon and there we have it.

So there we go, I do hope you like this weeks project. Don't forget to pop over to the blog and see the girls fabulous inspiration! Until next time though, happy crafting!
