This week we are working with the 'spider web' images and the theme is monochromatic with ribbon
I think this lot are ganging up on me - ANOTHER spider. Had to cute it up a bit.
Although the brief does say - mono - they decided we could add a Colour, and I had already decided on my greeting so I used red to hot it up a bit.
Here is my card - and then I will show you how I created the background effect
Now - the background. I wanted a really soft look on hand made paper - so I used my own printing technique. When I print on acetate it does not dry at all. So I print the image on to the acetate - then CAREFULLY(!!) take it upstairs to my craft room - lay the acetate sheet with the ink side DOWN onto the paper I want to use and rub like crazy with my burnisher
push and scrub like mad - and you end up with a wonderful antique look on a paper that you could never print directly onto
Do join us with this weeks challenge on the BLOG
