Today for this blog hop I am sharing with you my first post for Craftwell. For this kind of mixed media project I got inspired by my love for coffee and a coffee cardboard sleeve, I got at at small coffee shop in Fredericksburg, TX. This is my end result:
Craftwell Tools: Cut N' Boss and Teresa Collins dies. For more supplies and steps to make this wall-hanging, please head over my
Snapguide. Furthermore, all die cuts from the Teresa Collins dies, were made from used Stay-Wet paper, which was stained with many acrylic colors from my painting palettes.
Here are some more close looks:
I attached the Sizzix frame die cut only by the edges to add dimension to the frame.
I attached the tags only by the brad, leaving some movement to the whole piece, sticking the end of the tags inside the coffee sleeve:
I made a dangle using one of the TH IdeOlogy tags, a brad, and a vintage button:
I tried to add as much dimension, as I could:
I added the Teresa Collins die-cut heart and a veneer cup from Latina Crafter, which I embellished with a red heart cut with a Sizzix die for contrast.
I hope you enjoyed my first craft for Craftwell and follow their blog as well
Here's our line up in case you get lost along the way.
I am also participating in the following challenges:
Distress ink, distress crayons, acrylics
because of its colors, I find this canvas very masculine.
