Over at Craft Stamper Magazine there is a new 'Take It, Make It' challenge, where you can win fab prizes and if you win, see your work in the magazine! The inspiration for this months challenge is by Helen Chilton, and it's her Terrific Tearing article which is on page 78 of the May issue.
I immediately sprung to life when I got my copy, as there's nothing more fun than a bit of ripping and tearing to make you feel great, especially if it's allowed!
This is my finished card for the challenge, it uses Papermania Kraft Basics 12 x 12 papers, and Papermania Urban Stamps (Bird Print). The number's paper is called Mackenzie by Kanban, and was from the lovely Pink Tulip Creations. The embellishments are all from Indigoblu (cogs, wire heart). I have used Tim Holtz Distress ink in Black Soot around the edges of my torn paper. And the glitter is from http://www.glittermagic.co.uk/, it's anti-static and a really lovely glitter to use, it doesn't stick to the stuff you don't want it to!
I stamped the central image on white cardstock, and distressed it slightly. The frame was torn, and I added a peeled back 'door' with fastening. The cardstock is all distresssed, the flower's are printed with music from the same stamp set, and the main large flower is hand torn and layered.
There is still plenty of time to enter as the competition has only just started, and you have two months to enter, so pop across to Craft Stamper and have a go yourself!
Best Wishes,
Nikki xx
