It's Zutter Time!

Here's another competition entry. I have entered this in the Graphicus monthly website competition, as it is made with only Elusive Images stamps. I have coloured the background and stamped the images entirely in Distress Inks, I love the watercolour effect they give! Check out the Zutter Diaries for full details of how I created these book covers.

Competition Time!

I have said to myself, so many times, that I would enter one of these competitions in a magazine, and have even started projects that I am hoping to enter into said competitions, yet I've never actually managed to get the entries done in time. This time is different. Yep, I ran out of time, yep, I found it really difficult, but finally, after all these years, I managed to submit something that I am proud of. I don't care if I win, but I do hope the magazine publishes the Carousel I made, because my photo's don't do it justice. Seriously.
I Decided to make the Carousel, a slightly different Card, and a framed picture. This is the first part of the Carousel. Scroll down to see the progress of the carousel and the final products I submitted.

The other pieces. I like these, and I really think they work well together.

The top before the puzzle pieces were added.

Now you can see how the inside pieces look all together. Pretty or what?

A bit dark, but here are all the bits put together. I got really excited at this point I can say!

The card. I used the Zutter to make the holes, then threaded ribbon through. Even the inside was stamped!

Competition Time.

Finished entries. The Carousel looks so much better in real life, I almost didn't want to send it away! The hanging pieces are UTEE, stamped into with stazon. I then used dimentional glaze over the top of the UTEE, alcohol inked the back and stuck them to aluminium craft foil so the light bounced back through them. The amonite looked particularly cool. You can see better by clicking on the pictures!

Wedding!

It was my friend Karen's wedding a few weeks ago, and this is the card I made for her. It's a bit dark, because it's a photo, my scanner was out of action at the time!
