Look What I Made At the Weekend

... I went to Claxby at the weekend and we made one of these.

I have used Regal Rose and Rose Red to colour the background.  I have then used the Very Vintage wheel to decorate the mirror.  The small pieces of art are made using En Francais, Vintage Vogue and a rubber band around my brayer to make the swirly lines.  I made the roses by using a 1" punch and fixing 7 together to make a 6 petal flower.  Each flower needed 3 cutouts.  These are made from Whisper white that I have coloured with Regal Rose and Rose Red to give some depth.  The leaves were made from the oval punch cutting one end to a point.  (mirror was £1.19 from IKEA).

I hope you like and until next time

Happy crafting

Hi Guys

I made this ATC for another challenge but when I went to get the link, I found out that I had missed it by a day. The challenge at Something Completely Different was wings so I created this for it.

I was really disappointed when I read that I had missed the challenge. Oh well I will just have to do one for this weeks challenge, which is 'keys'.

Hope you like

Until next time happy crafting

For a Challenge

Hi Guys

I have been busy over the last couple of days with sorting dates out for me to teach at Carols Crafts in Spalding. Check my diary on the left hand side to see when I am teaching and what I am teaching.

I have also managed to do something for a challenge.

The challenge is Hels' challenge here. I got a bit confused and thought this had to be an ATC (the other challenge I took part in is just ATC's)

Hels' challenge is All You Need Is Love and I did this for it.

It is a mini Stepper Card at the size of an ATC.

On the left hand side I have inked a strip of book page with Real Red ink. On the right hand side I have stamped with En Francais in Real Red after stamping off. I have then used a sponge and sponged with Real Red. I have stamped En Francais in Basic Grey and then punched with the Heart to Heart punch. I then stuck them onto the card and trimmed off. I used crystal effects to give them a bit of depth. I have stamped the birds firstly in basic grey on the card and then in Real Red on another piece of card and coloured them in with Blender Pen (left hand side just by pulling the colour in from the stamped image and right hand side by using the ink pad as a pallette. The large stamp at the back is stamped in Real Red, coloured with Blender Pen and then sponged around the edge.

I hope you like

Until next time, happy crafting
