Transport @ CRaft Room Challenge

Hi Everyone..........As usual the weekend went by very quickly......but it was fun !!  Saturday I had a Pyjama day, which was fabulous and Sunday I was crafting !!! Bliss !!!

It's time for a new challenge over at the Craft Room this fortnight and Suzanne chose the theme...which is  TRANSPORT

We would love to see any form of travel that gets us from A-B: 

from Bicycles to Hot Air Ballons and Ships

Here is my take on the challenge theme:

Both photographs were taken outside in daylight, however, the metallic heat embossing is not too visible in fact it looks like we are flying over  a foggy Paris !!!!  Very atmospheric !!!!

The paper was in my stash and was aged and ditressed around the edges with Vintage Photo DI, then flicked with water. I took some versamark and covered my  Tim Holtz  Stampers Anonymous Hot Air Balloon, applying it to the aged paper. I then applied copper embossing powder and used my heat gun to set it. Distress Inks in Rusty Hinge, Stormy Sky and Shabby Shutters were applied direct to my craft mat, then I took my waterbrush to colour in the panels of the balloon.

Letters from the  Tim Holtz, Sizzix Wordplay Die were inked with a variation of Blue China and Vintage Photo DI, then edged with Black Soot Distress Marker to remove the white edge. An adage ticket was adhered using  the Tim Holtz mini stapler. A Tim Holtz Idea-ology metal bookplate, bubble and dot fadestencil, plus a TH sentiment completed the look i wanted to achieve.

Our sponsor this month is Crafty Individuals and  there is a chance to win a voucher to spend in their online store....... definitely worthwhile entering. There is also more inspiration over at the Blog, where you will find some more amazing makes by my DT roomie's HERE. 

Thank You so much for taking the time to visit and to leave a comment.  I  do hope you can manage to play along with us x

Take Care and catch up Friday xx
