Craft-Room Challenge, Forest Friends


 


We had a great number of entries for out last challenge, unfortunately more or less 50% did not qualify. Mostly it seems to be an issue about the number of challenges entered but with some there were also our other rules that were really being adhered to.  Please read the rules folks we are telling each other and ignoring those entries that are ineligible.

Moan over, we have a new challenge for the next 2 weeks at Craft-Room Challenge, our host is Amber and her theme is Forest Friends.

Amber says "I have picked the theme of "Forest Friends".  I love forest creatures!  You can include any of them in your project, but I ask that they be one of the focal points and not just a "token gesture".  Please check out the New Pesky Rules to ensure that your entry/post qualifies to be in with a chance of winning."

Our sponsor for the challenge is Tando Creative, you know they send really nice goodies to our winners.

  

With this colourful time of year and this fab theme I have chosen to create a mix media canvas as my sample.   The canvas is 12" x 9" initially painted with watercolours two trees added with stencils and embossing paste.   When that was dry the trees were given definition with ProMarkers.   Glimmer Mists  more watercolours and stamps built up the scene.    The silhouette birds are felt iron appliqué fixed here with glue with the suggestion of a tree trunk on the edge.   The deer trotting through the woodland is a Tando Creative rain deer also coloured with ProMarkers.

I've mentioned our rules and I always look to respect those of other challenges, with this in mind I am entering my canvas into

Fantasy Stampers - Autumn Colours
Animal Friends - Golden Autumn
Stampinback - Anything but CAS (rubber stamps used 2 trees and flock of birds)
Simply Create Too - Fall/Autumn

and then I learnt of The Mirror Crack'd a new monthly mixed media challenge with the theme of Anything Goes.
