It is now the seventh week of the Calendar Challenge over at The Craft Barn, this week I have found so much easier than last week's, for finding turquoise was very difficult. Yet, Lilac and/or Purple with /without some Dry Embossing has been more fun. Thanks ladies for an easy week. I used an Embossing folder on a piece of cream card. Used a brush to apply Dusty Concord TH Distress Ink over the card. Added a few purple jewels in the flowers. Added my calendar onto a piece of Crafty Cards paper, the same paper which the main image is matted onto. I added a home made flower, the instructions can be found for Spiral Roses on my tutorial blog. Finally added some lilac gingham and plain purple ribbon.

ReplyDeleteHi Cazro,
ReplyDeleteI cannot answer your question via the mail, as you have a no-reply blogger account.
If you'd like to know how to change that, I can tell you.
To answer your question:
Teykol is used as a resist, I think you can only buy it here in Holland, from Art Journey,
if you'd like, I can find out from Louise (Art Journey) whether she also sells it somewhere else....
Fabulous calendar page Caz. Love the colours and embossing and the beautiful rose.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.
Hugs, Fliss xx
