Det er forresten en flott liten bloggcandy du kan være med i trekning på her i bloggen! Du finner den her tilogmed 17 mai!
I was superhappy when Hero Arts released the Art Deco club kit ♥ I love reading books & watch tv-series from that era. When I was a teen I actually wrote a project essay on Agatha Christie! The author of Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence :)
And if you haven't seen it already, I have a nice little birdy blogcandy going up until the 17th. of May!
...
I usually don't have any patience for puzzles, but I had lots of fun with paperpiecing together the awesome diecut background that came in the kit. For the tag/bookmark I used the stencil and some tonic nuvo drops to really glam it up! And some black edges for a little bit of distressed vintage look. It still counts as CAS though ~ I hope, because all that white space was really difficult to leave un-inked! ;)

Embellishments: ...
Tools: I always use my Scor-Pal to score n fold my cards. EK Success® Whale Of A Punch 'Large Circle 1.75'. Panduro Hobby scalpel and self healing mat. Sizzix precicion base plate for intricate dies.
Stencils/Embossingfolders: Stencil from the HA kit.
Dies: Hero Arts feb.2019 kit - Art Deco fancy die and co-ordinating stamp dies. Sizzix Tim Holtz Bigz dies 'Tags And Bookplates'. Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities 'Tudor Rose Card Front' - using only the rectangle frame. Nellie Snellen Dies 'Straight Dotted Round MFD085'. QuicKutz (new branded as LifeStyle crafts/WRMK) Revolution REV 0072 Circles lim ed. 4x4.

Techniques/Mediums: I used misc. blacks & greys from Luminarte Twinkling H2o's Shimmering Watercolors, and Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads to watercolor the image to look like an old black & white photo. No waste when puzzle piecing the background diecuts together - took me a while to do, but using a wide sheet of tape behind the cardstock before cutting keeps most pieces still in the diecut, and makes for easy puzzling them together :) I used Rangers Alcohol Ink 'Flamingo' on some of the bits.
Gorgeous cards and tags! Love the inside and the back, too! Very professional!
