Merry Christmas Everyone

I needed to keep these tags fairly flat as they were being sent off, so just used the background technique using distress ink pads, water, rock candy crackle paint & stickles.

Meet Eeveé

Birthday card for Audrey

All stamps and image are from Crafty Individuals. The frame was painted using Viva precious metals.

twin image template card

This is for a card swap following a template, I got really stuck thinking what to use for the twin images then I decided on using Tim Holtz reindeer reflecting the image using a brayer and embossed it. I've used two different colours of glimmer mist not sure whether the camera has picked that up and finally I used my favourite Merry Christmas stamp.

Birthday card

I've been neglecting blog recently. Things are getting sent off before I've taken a picture or it's last minute photos that aren't any good. This is a card that I made for my mums birthday at the beginning of the month. It's on pearl white cardstock the light wasn't very kind on the day this was taken.

Artsy Craft weekend the other pieces

This is a fun little story book. We moved tables to use different colours and sit with other people. I made this using colours outside my comfort zone and couldn't resist giving it a spritzing to brighten it up a little, I'm not too sure whether the camera picked that up.

This box started it's life being white, it was great fun creating this piece, again sitting at a different colour table.

Above are the other two projects that I made at the Artsy Craft weekend run by Lin of LB Crafts and Leandra of Paper Artsy. Can't wait until the next event. Thank you ladies for a fantastic weekend.

Artsy Craft weekend

I've just had one of the best crafting weekends of my life @ the Artsy Craft weekend run by Lin from LB Crafts and Leandra of Paper Artsy. The whole weekend was spent crafting and the theme was time using colour choices we had previously selected. I was truly amazed how individual we all made our projects using the same materials and colours for each colour group per table.

The main piece of the weekend was the clock. (top picture) I've still to fix the pieces in place.

The clock face has a base of Terra with inclusions, plus paint and more paint and glimmer mists and a tad more paint. :o)

The panels on the side of the canvas are made from embossed metal and the embellishment at the top is the most fun little UTEE Bird.

This weekend has been fabulous, using all of my favourite products. Meeting lovely people who enjoy doing the same thing and best of all having 2 superb tutors Leandra and Lin and their wonderful friendly helpers. If you get the opportunity to go to one of these Artsy Craft weekends my advice to you is go and enjoy yourself.
