Things and things

Helllooooooooooo

So here are a few things I've made recently.....

This one was a flower I stamped ages ago and I finally got around to turning it into a card, adding a touch of glitter and a greeting.

 This one is mostly Tim Holtz papers, with some gilding wax, a few fibres with some gold mod podge and a gem

 I made some Mars Bar crispy cakes for Easter, any excuse to put little pink chicks on things hehe!

 This one is a stencil, I just used distress inks and a craftwork cards greeting

Happy Mother's Day (for last week!)

Hello!!

I had a cross stitch I'd been working on here and there for ages.....I decided to set myself the target of finishing it for Mother's Day.....just about managed that give or take a week hehe!!

Here is the finished article...it is stitched on an Aida panel on a towel. The pattern in from a book called The Ultimate Cross Stitch Companion.

I was supposed to do some extra French knots but I managed two, and I think I've finally got my head around them though for future patterns....hehe!

Here are the cards I made as well one for my mom and one for Lee's mom.

This one is some Tim Holtz paper with the butterflies on which I stuck down some alphabet masks...tim holtz again! I then sprayed the paper with Dylusions in yellow/orange and then removed the masks. I cut it out with a spellbinders dye and used walnut stain around the edge. I got a couple of chipboard shapes and coloured them possibly with distress stain I can't actually remember! I then used some distress stickles on them as well. I used a grass stencil at the bottom with some paint and then I also added a flower which I inked a little and a couple of ready made bees.

This one I had some new sparkle mediums and a stencil so I used three colours on black glossy card and it worked pretty well and I managed not to get them too intermingled as it just did each colour at the same time as I'm too impatient to wait for them to dry. I then cut it into a circle and stuck it on a card and added some picked raspberry distress ink and a greeting.

Melt Art

Helllo!!!

I had a play with the melt pot last weekend, haven't used it in ages...so wanted to try out some new things. I had a silicon alphabet mould I hadn't used yet - so I made some letters with various UTEE's and put glitter and gilding flakes and stuff in the mould, and I made a little mini canvas with some of the letters. The background being Dylusions, a bit of detail sparkle medium and black in round the edge. I made some other stuff too but they might show up on future projects ;)

In other news....here is a card I made! Simply it's sparkle medium through a stencil on to black glossy card, and a Craftwork cards greeting.

Just realised there was no stamping involved on either of these either....
