I love the detail work of doing paper piecing, so this challenge pulled me in right away. This is what I came up with.
I had fun with this card. Even though I kept messing up the crystal effects on the TV screen. This one is my second attempt...but it's still not as smooth as I had hoped. I applied the crystal effects to a piece of striped patterned paper. I stamped the TV on another patterned paper, cut it out (and cut out the inside of the screen with a craft knife). I placed this onto the first piece before the glaze dried, so that it would adhere...and so that the shiny glaze would be pushed up a little from the edges of the frame. Hopefully, this gives the illusion of a slightly rounded or domed screen, like one of those old televisions.
This card will be going into my Etsy shop.
Thanks so much for stopping in to take a look!
