I’m demonstrating all sorts of things heat embossing on 22nd October (see About Me page), and finished off my demo board this morning:
And here’s a close up of the faux dichroic glass piece for those that like shiny things 😉
It’s Passion for Promarkers challenge entry time again, and this week the theme is ‘beary special’. A friend mentioned this afternoon that it’s less than 100 days to Christmas. And crafters have to start early… Here are my entries to the challenge.
This week’s challenge over at Passion for Promarkers is ‘no patterned papers’. I’m not one to dress many of my cards up with patterned papers, so this wasn’t too much of a stretch. It also gave me the chance to give my new Gorjuss rubber stamp ‘Puddles of Love’ its first outing.
UPDATE: I was in the top five for the challenge 🙂
And this is the second part of the demo/workshop day to be held at Kim’s Crafts (Hinckley Branch) – mini-suitcase memory boxes:
Hi all – I’ve been feverishly working away the last two days getting ready for my next demo/workshop day at Kim’s Crafts (Hinckley Branch) on 10th September. In the morning, I’ll be demo’ing all things Perfect Pearls (from Ranger) and this is the demo board I’ve just finished.
I’ve just found it’s next to impossible to photograph pearlescent finishes! But the board shows the basics of applying perfect pearls to medium, then painting on a pearl finish to spritzing with distress inks, stamping over distress stains and inks, and bottom left, applying to UTEE and watching it ooze.
As promised, here are pics of my handmade travel journal. I decided that I would take an art journal with me on holiday and I’d keep to a plan of drawing/writing daily – after all, I’d have the time! Well, that didn’t quite work out between sun and sangria and nights of cards and local honey rum, but I have finished it:
I’ll be showing the group at the Craft Club on Saturday how to make the journal, and there will probably be a tutorial coming on here later.
Those of you who know me well know that I don’t do babies… So when it came to sitting down to do this week’s challenge over at Passion for Promarkers [Week 106, ‘babies’], procrastination set in! However, I overcame my phobia reluctance and put pen ProMarker to paper cardstock.
This week over at Passion for Promarkers, the theme is ‘park life’ [Week #105]. It’s currently the hottest day this year here in sunny Leicester, so my view of park life must be wishful thinking for cooler days? It’s perhaps not quite the summery image that many would be conjuring up, but I remember the fun of sledging in the park and the stamped image was perfect.
This week’s theme at Passion for Promarkers is ‘here comes the bride’ [Week #104]. I dusted off a set of Woodware clear stamps [Wedding Bliss FRCL036], inked up and coloured away. The centre window is punched out of my normal cardstock with a Martha Stewart ‘all over the page’ scalloped edge square punch. Border round the window was drawn freehand. Peel offs are from my stash.
This week’s challenge over at Passion for Promarkers was to have an all white background with a coloured image. I found it a tough one to conceive, and then even trickier to photograph. Let me know what you think!
