Well when I saw The Craft Barn calendar challenge for week 5 was paper tape I thought "Hurray, I've got some of that". So I checked out my stash and found this black and white diamond design. I thought it would go great with the distorted harlequin mask I was lucky enough to receive as part of the prize in the Tando Creative Birthday Bash Design Team Blog Hop. So this started with an idea, struck a few hurdles, went a little bit sqwiffy, started to shape up but needed a little something. Then I saw this fab project by Gez. The finishing touch for my night in November.
I used texture paste and the Tando distorted harlequin mask for the central design. I splashed some Distress Ink Broken China and Chipped Sapphire around. I cut the paper tape into sections and arranged them across the two pages. At this point it looked like a cold, dark, brrrr night in November. It needed a figure of some sort, in black and white because all colour goes at night doesn't it. I have used Sizzix embosslit Hello Kitty and highlighted with black ink. I added the calendar tab and then I was a bit stalled. I didn't want it looking so gloomy but luckily Gez posted her fab firework project and problem was solved. Thanks Gez. It's November, it's fireworks!! Some glitter glue and the night sky comes alive. At least mine will be around for longer than the real thing. Thanks for visiting.
I am entering this into The Craft Barn Calendar Challenge Week 5
Great combination on your background. That distorted harlequin is great and love your bright fireworks!!
