Dragons Lair Designs Head To Head

Thank you for clicking over to have a look at my blog
An Update, Some Musings And A Head To Head Creation

-oOo-

Hi Everybody!

Those of you who come and visit my blog regularly will know that I’m on the Design Team for Dragons Lair Designs.  One of the areas that the design team members, as well as others who like using Dragons Lair Designs item, come together to show our creations and have some fun is the Dragons Lair Designs Fan Group.

Lately we’ve been having a monthly “Head To Head”.  For this everybody uses the same item from the Dragons Lair Designs Store and crafts something using it.  Some already have the item in their crafting digital library and others take the opportunity to build their digital library up and just buy the item for the head to head challenge.  At the end of the month Dragons Lair Designs designer Janette Padley gets “Random” to choose one winner who gets the item for the following month for free to work with for free.  Why not come join us in the Fan Group and join in with this, and/or the other, fun things, we are doing.

My creation can be seen towards the end of this post.

MUSINGS:

BOX:

The kit chosen for the February “Head To Head” is the Watercolour Elements mini kit. 

I decided to use it to decorate a small box that I’m going to put a strung glass pearl necklace in.

To start with I took some of the elements into My Craft Studio and resized to my required site, made four of the corners, and layed them out on the A4 working area.  I used the software to pick up an area of the flowers to make a swatch of colour in the area I had spare which was about half the working area.

The items were then printed out onto an A4 sheet of 250gsm white cardstock and then cut out.

I used the colour swatch area to tare out three rough circles of cardstock and these were further torn into spirals and used to make the floral roses (You can see my pictorial guide to makeing similar roses in 4. No Tools Paper Flowers 02).  I also cut out four strips of 1cm deep to put round the sides of my box from the colour swatch.

I used my Hougie Board to score some 350gsm white cardstock to make a 2cm deep box, cut where necessary and glued it together using some quick grab wet glue.  I used the same glue to attach the cut out pieces from the collection on to decorate the box.
