With Father's Day coming up this month, it is a great time to join in on this masculine challenge! Try using darker colours, a grunge look, or metallics to make something for a special guy in your life and don't forget to share it on the challenge blog for a chance to win a fun prize! This look came quite naturally to me because I don't have a very feminine style, but for some it may be quite a challenge!
Embossing Powder: Burnt Copper Leaves
Charm: Vintage Feather Charm
Stencils: Treads and Splatters layering stencils by Tim Holtz
Other: Distress Crayons Set #2, Palette Knife by Dina Wakley
I am very happy with how this charm turned out! It may not have been clear in the process video, but these feather charms come curved (as if to fit on a bracelet). It was not too difficult to bend this one into a straighter shape, but it could be left curved too. I added EC Burnt Copper Leaves embossing powder onto the feather and the bolts (as seen in later images) to create this interesting metallic look.
I attached my bobbles (is this what you would call them?!) using some black cord. I wanted them at slightly different heights and I achieved this by separating them using knots.
In the photos below and above you can see what the bolts look like with the embossing powder on them. They have a slightly more rounded look and I love the colour!
Below is a good view of what the embossed feather charm looks like. Even though it has a this layer of the powder, you can still see the details of the original metal charm.
I hope that you have enjoyed this project for Emerald Creek. I cannot say enough how wonderful their products are and I know you will love them too. As I said in my last post, it is a great time to buy Canadian! Our dollar is low, so there are good deals for Americans and, as a Canadian, it is a great idea to support our local economy and save on shipping costs! Thank you so much for stopping by today!
