The challenge for KIU this month is to create a LO without using pattern papers and of course to use Kraft cardstock. Pop on over and check out HERE to see all the stunning CT creations. This challenge was so out of my comfort zone as I love my pp's, but I just loved creating this LO.
I distressed the edges of the Kraft cs and added a black border. I then used aqua paint and a KI memories lace cardstock to mask the background and black paint for the splatters. To create a bit of texture I misted some muslin and scrunched and distressed it and painted some corrugated card with white and tore the edges. Pulled out my BG fibres and twisted a few together and finished off with a few CI stickers and a gorgeous pendant which I purchased in a bead shop. Not a pp in site and very happy with the finished LO.
Here is a sneak for an upcoming CT LO.
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love :)
