Crafting Time DT ... Purple and Green

I was very lucky and got selected for the Crafting time design team.  There is a fab crafty shop, and a blog to go with it.

 This week's theme is Purple and green. I have had a chipboard folder for ages that i have been meaning to alter and use as a crafting file ...

 So after a busy crafting session the folder now looks like this ...

I sprayed the chipboard folder with Lettuce colorwash, let it dry and lightly painted over it with Snow cap acrylic dabber. I wiped sections of paint off with a damp towel to reveal the green.  I created the 'inspire' text by making a mask using the sizzix die 'inspire', stamping onto the folder using versamark and then clear embossing powder.  I repeated the stamping and embossing using a stamp from 7 Gypsies Lille set.  I then went over the folder using distress inks, drying between each layer, and then stamped inspire using shabby shutters distress ink.  I added some ghosting again using a stamp from the Lille set.  The 'inspire' and bird cage were cut out of grungeboard andpainted in white acrylic paint and then crackle painted.  I cut another 'inspire' out and covered in adrinodack ink (eggplant) and shadowed it behind the grungeboard one.  Finally some TH butterflies and punched butterflies, cut out of glassene paper treated with alcohol inks, some pearls, text stamps and charms to finish.

Now I just need to make the pages to go in it!!
