TIO #34 - Under the Moon's Shadow Gothic Triptych

Here is my entry for the TIO challenge this week, set for us by guest Elizabeth of The Crafty Robin blog. The theme is under the moon's shadow, and she wants us to have a moon somewhere. Her tag is beautiful, so have a look... I will enter it at Think Monday Think ATC, where the theme is triptych. I have also entered it at Tellens Place, where the theme is simply, ATC.

I joined 3 pieces together with watercolour paper, at ATC size, so the triptych would open and close. I coloured with distress inks and overstamped with layers of different textures. The pictures are from a Crafty Individuals pad and the front is my darkroom door, door stamp (I have some more coming, yey!!!)

This is the front view when the whole thing is closed. I really enjoyed working smaller again, as most of my work has been at least postcard sized, recently!!

Thanks for looking

This is my Header for the New Blog

I decided to create this new blog and made a piece for the header. I have been brooding for a long time, buying new stash and stamps, for when I could get back to work!! I have had such problems with arthritis in my hands... That time is now, so I have thoroughly enjoyed creating this piece. I used many new stamps and lots of the new distress ink colours...

I used the rose from Elusive Images, to echo that on the blogger background. I also used stamps from Darkroom Door, Aspects of Design, UMount, Tim Holtz shabby French sheet 1 and several from Crafty Individuals. I LOVE  all the new shades of distress inks. They mix and match so well. I layered the stamps then coloured the background, embossing with clear ep as always!! The edges are distressed with dark gold perfect pearls.

Thanks for looking...
