Vintage Page Designs: Final Gingersnaps Challenge & WOYWW147

March 28, 2012

Final Gingersnaps Challenge & WOYWW147

I posted the last challenge on the Gingersnaps Blog today!  There's some lovely artwork on there by our talented design team and visiting artists for our final copper, ginger or rust color challenge.  It's sad to see it close, but it's time to try new things and take on new challenges :)

Here's the piece I created.  I seem to have a fabric thing going on right now.  I'm not loving the corners - I've got to figure out a better way to deal with that.

 


The different layers you see here are from bottom to top: chipboard, batting, muslin, 2 pieces of vinyl wallpaper, patterned paper by Graphic 45, embossed copper c/stock and a strip of rust linen (scraps from my living room curtains!).  Here's a close up:


The main panel is made up of 9 inches that include stamped images from Stampin' Up! and Artistic Outpost.  The circular thingamajig is a key from a vintage cash register.  I love it and have been trying to find a use for it for a while now.


I took a photo of my work table when I was done making this - it was a ocean of orange!  I'm linking it to What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday 147.

Hope you're having a creative week!

Ali

Oooh, this is beautiful, Ali! Love the squares and how you've layered all the different textures. The stitching adds so much extra detail. Love it.

This is awesome, love the texture and the layers. Your 'unloved' corners only add to the charm of the piece!

Beautiful piece, Ali, and your work desk is indeed an ocean of orange! It's hard to believe it's the farewell challenge at Gingersnap Creations.

This is a great piece you have created! So many layers that I had to sit and just look at it for a few minutes! Love that vintage cash register key! You found the perfect project to use it on!

Lovely creation Ali, isn't it funny, your title coloured
my view and I can only see gingers and light browns, not oranges!!
IS that how you do it then - settle ona colour and pull out all related paper and fabric? Wow. Id drown before I got round to tidying up..my desk would be about a foot deep in layers of colour!

What beautiful artwork. I love the colours too.
I'm new to WOYWW and amazed at seeing so much talent on my visits. I now know I've got such a lot to learn.
Thanks for letting me take a peek.

Love this project- the fabric is a wonderful design element. Oh heavens, I do not think I could post pictures about whats on my workspace....... I love the idea of making a swatch book for color combo's.
