Before I tell you about today's Terrifically Thrilling Thursday
Challenge, I'd like to share a few changes at
Shelly's Images effective IMMEDIATELY!
First and Foremost, we are switching our challenge time frame to TWICE A MONTH ...
Our challenges will now be offered on the
1st and 3rd Thursday
of each month.
In the Shelly's Images blog sidebar you can still see the upcoming challenge themes/dates and also see the dates for the upcoming Tutorial/Technique Tuesday postings.
Now onto today's challenge
(which will run through July 18th).
"WHAT the TEXT"
(Use text [sentiment] on your card/project.)
and today's FEATURED IMAGE is "DAISY 1"
I decorated the lid of a gift box .....
To achieve this, I printed the image on DP with a pastel print :
Then I coloured the image using my alcohol markers, and used a white gel pen for the highlights. To get the DP to fit the top of the lid perfectly, I applied glue to the lid, attached the DP to the lid, and used a carpenter's sanding block to trim off the excess. I chalked the edges to soften the look.
As embellishments I used a generous raffia bow and a chippie key (thanks Jo!) that I coloured with my Copics.
We hope you'll come join in our WHAT THE TEXT challenge fun this week and NOW you have until JULY 18th to enter for a chance to win.
AND ... Don't forget ...

Jen, once again I am inspired by your project. I NEVER think to print the image directly on a subtle patterned paper. I have to try that soon. I love the completed project. The raffia really completes everything so well and adds such rustic texture. Great work!
ReplyDeleteYour project is totally beautiful. I am in awe of altered art. The raffia is such a great addition to your bos top. Thanks much for playing along with us at Jackson's Digital Expressions.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking, Jen, simply lovely. Thanks for joining in on the fun this week at JDE.
