Black, Stripes and Glitter

This is for the junior DT for which the theme was 

Bingo.

Out of the possible 7 element combinations I choose

Black

Stripes

Glitter.

To do this wall hanging, first I cut out 3 circles using the big shot out of card and the same with 

butterfly paper from Tim Holtz paper stack Crowed Attic. Stick the circles together 1 card 1 butterfly paper.

Whilst that was drying I got a long strip of black paper and with a sliver pen and a ruler colour every other centimetre for 5mm. When the circles had dried I went round the butterflies with silver embossing powder and embossed. Then I went around the inside of the butterflies in glossy accents. Whilst that was drying I got a piece of ribbon and distressed it. Made it into a loop and using black thread put a stitch in.

The ends of the ribbon were glued to the back of the black strip. Evenly spacing the circles on the strip of card and put the glue on the strip and stick the circles.

Pyramid Holiday

This is for the Crafty Boots DT.
 For this topic we choose to do
Holidays.
I choose to do a holiday mosaic of my favourite holiday destination.
First sketch the outline and sort the mosaic pieces in colours and place where you want. Go round and paint the back of the mosaic pieces with PVA, and stick down wait till dry. Then using fine grout go over the whole mosaic trying to scrap off the grout of the top but leave it between thepieces. leave to dry slightly for 20 minute and with a damp cloth wipe the surface. The next day do the same with the grout.

Hope you like my mosaic.
