Pretty Gets Gritty

Last month I was lucky enough to join the Pretty Gets Gritty Design Team working with Lynette Jasper and a fantastically creative Design Team.

The kit I received was amazing and I had great fun using it. Lynette went live on Hochanda on 7th and 8th October with three different kits and they were a great success.

Here are the three projects I made for the show.

All were mixed media with varying degrees of grungyness. The first piece and the easiest to do was the simple black and cream frame

The black background was made using the black gems and pinheads in the Ebony kit along with papers and flowers which were to die for.

The second was a mixed media round canvas using an assortment of flowers from several kits. The larger red flowers are actually the peony taken apart and turned upside down to give a more open look and the background was made using one of the stencils on the show.

The last piece was a another board canvas again using the stencils as a background and softer colours.

As with most of my mixed media pieces I like to use a photograph of other image. I just cant get away from the scrapbooker in me lol.

Looking forward to receiving my next kit. xx
