Dancing shadow

 

Taking one image from the Dancing with Shadows CD I've created a selection of cards trying to make them all a wee bit different. 

 

 Front of card completely covered in a background bluebell paper which is inked around the edges with Tim Holtz plumice stone distress ink. the main topper is layered to give a thin blue frame. 

A plain while card with the edges distressed with stormy sky ink. The topper consists of three layers cut using nestabilities labels seventeen dies.

 Pretty in Pink ... Same bluebell image but mounted on pearlised pink on a distressed milled lavender card.  

Moody Blues

Thinking about the project on colour. So starting with an inspirational holiday photo....

New Zealand

The intense blues of the sea and sky and the green of the foliage fall on the colour wheel next to each other, called analogous.

Other images which demonstrate these colours ...

Triple tigertails

Another technique and effect using tigertail wire can be achieved using multiple threads.

Materials and Tools: Tigertail wire, crimps, beads

This recipe uses a repeated pattern using seed beads, a slightly larger bead for each thread and then a larger bead for all the threads.

1. Crimp all three threads together, including the fastener as appropriate.
2. On each of the threads add 3-5 seed beads, one larger bead, 3-5 seed beads. 
3. Add a larger bead with all three threads going through the same bead.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 to required length.
