Conjurer of Dreams: Ice Queens

 

Hello

At the Conjurer of Dreams Challenge Blog we have a new monthly challenge, in addition to the main challenge. 

Kim gives away free images on each of the DT's blog posts, so we decided that we could make a challenge from using these free images.

This month, February,  you can use ANY FREE IMAGE from last month (that's where these Ice Queens are from) and also from this month.


Here is what I made with 3 of January's free images:

It is a set of ATC cards.
I made the backgrounds by smooshing, dipping and dabbing 2.5 x 3.5 inch cards in puddles of Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I then added some white heat embossing using stamped tiny hearts. The images were fussy cut, the edges inked and adhered to the card bases. 


Next I heat embossed all around the edges of the cards by swiping the edges through a Versafine ink pad and pushing the card edge into a little pile of white embossing powder - this gives a thicker, more enamelled appearance..


Finally I found some sentiments in one of my Tim Holtz Small Talk sticker books. As they are going on ATCs, I trimmed them down a little, then cut them into strips. Once adhered and dry, I went around the sentiments with a Uniball Eye fine pen.


Here's a final look:


That's all for now.

We hope you'll come and join our challenges:
Facebook Group for more challenges and free images.
