Blogland seems to be full of Challenges. This time I followed a link from my friend Chris's blog (chriscraftroom.blogspot.com) and entered a challenge on Ready-Steady-STAMP. This was to create something using a list of ingredients which included "cat or dog, black and gold, 3 different brads, faux batik Beatrice, newpaper or book page.
I have done the faux batik but under a different name on Technique Junkies, where it was called newspaper reveal so did not find it difficult to do.
This is my entry. The faux batik is the chinese lettering and the birds flying at the top - these were stamped with Versamark on a piece of text from a book, embossed with clear ep, rubbed over with black ink and then ironed off. I have edged each piece with a gold Krylon pen.The lady and the cat were stamped in black on red card and embossed and then a stamp with a kanji was embossed in gold. I used a dragonfly brad to connect the two pieces of faux batik and then a large gold brad at the bottom of the calligraphy with three small gold brads in the corners of the whole image which was then mounted on gold card.
As far as I can see I have followed all the criteria so now will join in the challenge.
