Then along came the JFF challenge - "Words". I thought of all the lovely sayings I have, the funny ones, the meaningful ones and of all the cards I could possibly make using them - but nothing seemed to be right and then I saw this stamp. Actually it is one of two, the other is a profile version and I knew this had to be used, but how?
Armed with my stamp and the circuit board I thought of the phrase "Wired for Sound" and so my rendition for this week was born. First of all I covered a piece of mountboard with black acrylic paint, tore some "sound" bits from an encyclopedia and stuck them on (you can hardly see them). Then I stamped the head in Black Archival Ink and put some clear embossing powder over the top, moved it around the circuit board until I decided on where to place it and stuck it on with some foam pads.
A quick line up of letters (Spellbinders) on a bit of black waste card and I had the words done with the number "4" in white to take the place of the word "for". There are a couple of holes at the top which I have pushed through on the mountboard so it can have a hanger attached but at the moment it stands on a plate rack.
So there you have it - my entry for "Words" for Just for Fun - which is what I had making it - "fun".
Can't wait to see what you all produce with this challenge, am sure it will be a popular subject and I wonder how this month's Challenges will compare to last months which were very popular and produced some stunning pieces from you all.
