I got an newsletter email on Friday and it was about the Hard Core Online Crop ending tonight. Well, I have some Core'dinations that I've carefully hoarded for more years than I'll admit to ! I bought a package of 8 1/2x 11 in colours I love. I also had some 12x12's I got a couple of years later. It's not that easy to find around here, so I have rarely used any except my prized sheets of Black Magic for Halloween cards. I decided that I don't need to be buried with this cardstock, so starting yesterday, I went NUTS !! I did things I've never done before and used supplies I forgot I had !
The first of the challenges I decided to do is called
Wine Box Challenge. You were to decorate a gift bag using Coredinations. I have NEVER decorated a gift bag, but I was inspired to give it a go.
I bought a brown paper gift bag and cut some leaves with a TH Alterations die. I embossed them with different embossing folders and ( Of Course) sanded them. I actually used a Cuttlebug Spider Web folder to do the green leaf. The turkey I cut out of paper and glued it to burlap. I cut it out following the paper pattern and then added more white glue to the edges ( stuff will fray to bits ). I used Dylusions sprays and sprayed
myself and surroundings the turkey and also painted on Distress Ink.
I added feathers, a bow and I cut Bon Appetit out of Core'dinatins with my Slice.
I like how you put everything together
ReplyDeleteShona, be proud that you got out your Core'dination cardstock out from storage and decided to play with the Core'dinations Team during the Hard Core Crop. Love your write up and love your blog heading, brought a smile to my face. I have a black short haired pup in my house, so truly understand. Shona, thanks for sharing the details of how you got the look for your embellished gift bag. Truly awesome creative design with lots of detail and texture galore!!!!!
