Graphic 45 Design Team Audition 2016

Project #1: I used the World's Fair paper pad to create this collections tray. I fussy cut several images from the collection and added metal embellishments, some wood hot air balloons that I colored with distress ink and glossy accent, and finished up with flowers.

Project #2: I used Enchanted Forest to create a fantasy looking storybook. The album has pocket pages with photo mats inside. I made several flip out photo spots, with pockets and tags on the pages. I accordion folded paper and put it in the spine so it would look like storybook pages. I embellished with pearls, flowers and vintage metal pieces.

Project #3: I used the Rate Oddities paper pad to create this mixed media canvas. I created this dimensional letter using a technique that I show in the tutorial video below. I covered the canvas with the paper and used molding paste and stencils to create layers, which I sprayed with distress ink. The embellishments range from a drawer pull, to wood bird cages, flowers, gears, and pearls.

Tutorial: I created this tutorial video that walks through creating the dimensional letter I used on the project #3 canvas. It shows a creative way to create your own dimensional letters in any size and font that you would need for your project. At the end you get to see how I use the letter and complete the assembling of the canvas.
