while dragons dream TIO..#133 Dt make

well it the dragon has been dreaming again over at dragons-dream
and we have a new recipe...
while dragons dream..
the ingredients are :
a clear moon,
a night sky,
and a mythical creature..
 
oh and make sure you make a tag and use at least one real stamp..
 
so here is my make:
( I have adapted slightly as I couldn't find a mythical creature!! so I kind of adapted..and went all dreamy!)
 
 
so I clear embossed some stars and masked off a moon,
I then inked using two colours of distress
to create a night sky..
 
 
I added some rock candy stickles and rubbed over to create
a twinkly effect.
 
The image is a stampsmith one
stamped in coffee archival
and I added a wing stamped on tissue to create a mythical, dreamy feel..
 
 
finally I added a twirl of wire with some little beads treaded on,
some twirls if wire and dyed seam binding at the top.
 
make sure you pop across here and see my fab team mates makes
and maybe pop in a tag yourself!
 
have  a fun and inky one!

i wanted to enter their challenge white on white..
i started by covering the canvas board in tissue wrap
and covered it in a thick layer of gesso..
to create texture.
 
the edges were embossed with white frantage.
i added lace
flowers..painted white
and
yes you have guessed glittered!! with rock candy distress loose glitter..
did i say i LoVE this!!?
 
 
dream was cut,
lightly coloured with antique linen..just to lift if from background
and triple embossed.
 
 
the image..gorgeous isn't she
was stamped in black archival
on card with a slight coating..i love her...
i did scuff the edges with a tonic tool
 
 
and finally some snowflake die cuts
with little wooden stars..
painted white
and liquid pearls centres..

i die cut two tags from calico,
coloured with distress
and stamped fab Artistic Stamper script over
in coffee archival..
 
i then stamped this beautiful stampsmith stamp..
my first ...onto calico using coffee archival..
 
 
the floral trim
was dipped into
tea dye stain
and then dusted with walnut stain DI
 
to complete

from the crafty master Tim
and treated with a rusty treatment from the great timeworn workshop..
 
i also used the same treatment for the rusty rose..
