The Gilded Raven
3D Window TagArt
by Leigh
For our Poe CREATivities today I've got a POEtastic 3D Window TagArt make featuring digi stamps from my new The Gilded Raven release and decorative digi paper from the Vintage Grunge decorative digi paper pack.
I coloured the The Gilded Raven digitally in Adobe Fresco then combined the coloured image with the wonderful background from the Vintage Grunge decorative digi paper pack in Photoshop prior to printing.
The Gilded Raven set and the Vintage Grunge decorative digi paper pack.
I then fussy cut out the hanging bird stand leaving a narrow border around the image.
To create the hanging center piece I punched tiny holes at the top and bottom of the image and added gold jewelry findings. At the top I used a jump ring, chain and wire to create the hanger. On the bottom I attached a gold feather charm with a jump ring.
"The Gilded Raven" text is from The Gilded Raven Ornate Raven Stand set which I also printed out onto decorative paper from my Vintage Grunge decorative digi paper pack.
To make the front panel of the 3D window tag I used wood grain slimline sized cardstock by Kingston Crafts and 2 Contemporary Tags nesting dies by Crafter's Companion/Sheena Douglas and die cut the window frame. I then applied metallic gold Sprectum Noir Midas pigment ink to the edges.
Next I cut the same from black heavy weight cardstock. I then adhered the hanging Raven Bird Stand to the back of the window tag with glue and applied a thick layer of black foam tape to the back of the entire tag and adhered it to the black window tag mat to create a nice dimensional front panel.
I then die cut another panel for the back of the 3D window tag with just the largest tag die and edged it with gold pigment ink. Next I applied copper pigment ink to the smaller tag die cut, from the front panel, then decorated it with Crafter's Companion Thorn and Bloom vellum lace washi tape. I then adhered it to the inside of the tag.
I decorated the front of the tag with Forest Crows by Memory Box and Holiday Greenery by Tim Holtz die out of black cardstock. I then applied metallic gold Sprectum Noir Midas pigment ink to all the edges then adhered them to the front of the tag with glue.
To make the top fold tag I then scored a fold line into the black back panel and adhered it to the front panel. To complete my 3D Window TagArt I added black flag fiber and metallic gold ribbon threaded through the hole,
Thanks for stopping by to see today's Edgar Allan Poe inspiration!
FYI, I will have my finale Poe make up in the evening on the 23rd.
Happy POE Week!
