Day 3

"Raven Poe"

Jeweled Hanging Ornament

by Leigh

 

For Day 3 of our POEtastic 7th annual Poe Appreciation Blog Hop I'm back to share my "Raven Poe" jeweled hanging ornament featuring 2 of my new SVG Cutz sets included in the Edgar Allan Poe SVG Cutz 2022 release🖤

 

To make my POEtastic hanging ornament I used the Gothic Raven SVG Cutz set and the "POE" raven font letters included in the "POE" Raven and Classic Font Words SVG Cutz set.

 The Gothic Raven set contains the lace overlay design and 3 mat layers and the "POE" Raven Font letters consist of the overlay letters and one mat layer for each letter.  For this make I used my Silhouette Cameo 4 to cut out 2 of each overlay and all the mat layers which I then adhered together to make each piece nice and chunky.  The black and grey cardstocks are from Crafter's Companion's neutral tones cardstock pack and the red from the warm tones cardstock pack. 

I then applied Black Soot Distress ink to the edges of the all the chunky pieces except the black overlays which I grunged up with metallic silver Spectrum Noir gilding wax.

 I then adhered all the layers of the Gothic Raven and "POE" Raven letters together to make the large ornament pieces.

I made the beaded elements using beautiful dark red and metallic black glass beads and metallic black jewelry findings.

I completed the jeweled hanging ornament by drilling holes through the multi-layered cardstock pieces with a sharp pokey tool and attached the beaded elements to the cardstock pieces with jump rings.

 My round ornament stand is the POEfect place to display my new Raven Poe ornament!

I love how it turned out🖤

In celebration of our 2nd Poe Hop we released NEW stamps and I used one of the large Ravens on my project today!

 I used the following rubber stamps:
Lost Coast Designs newest Zentangle inspired Raven Left Large as well as the Long Swirl Flourish, Pencil Tops Border and Verticle ABC Border, Grunge Tree background and Diamond background from the ATC Grunge Background set and the small Nevermore text...which is one of the Poe Hop Freebies you can get just by placing an order!

I stamped the Raven with Black Archival ink onto watercolour cardstock and masked him with Pebeo masking fluid.  I then created the gorgeous blue and purple watercolour background with Nuance Pigment Powders.  I then got to work stamping all the elements to create the background:  the flourishes were stamped with Grape Jelly Memento ink, the verticle alphabet with Cloud White VersaMagic ink and the pencil tops border, grunge tree and diamond pattern and the Nevermore text (on a separate piece of white cardstock) were stamped with black Archival ink.  I then edged the panel in white Dylusions paint pen.  I coloured the Raven with a graphite pencil in the traditional Zentangle style once I removed the masking fluid.  The panel was layered onto purple/plum cardstock and I punched holes in all four corners and attached fleur de lis brads and then adhered it to a folded card made from a sheet of black cardstock.  I trimmed the Nevermore text, matted it onto black cardstock and then adhered it to the card.  To complete the card I applied black Studio G glitter glue to the black card edges as well as the Nevermore text.

That's it for today!  I have more Poe inspired projects to share over the duration of the hop too so see you again soon😉

Now off you hop to see more fabulous Poe inspired creations!  Enjoy!

Happy Hopping
