Make a Card at Fashionable Stamping CH 59

 

 

Hello dear crafters in blogland hope all is well with you :)

the lovely ladies over at Fashionable Stamping have set a new challenge

 and we are asked to make a card. Now I don't do cards very often

but having looked at the inspirational cards from the DT I felt like having a go.  

 

I have torn and lightly sanded some brown coordination card

and did faux stitches round the edge

torn a smaller piece of paper and stamped it with text and a swirl in sepia

then machine stitched onto the brown card

the words have been stamped onto tissue paper then stuck on

the decorative tag has had the edges dipped into gold embossing powder and heated

stamped with a floral swirl and hi-lighted with white pen

I have finished off with wrapping black twine

and adding flowers, text butterflies and a heart.

I shall use it as a just note card :)

 

Thank you for stopping by my blog and for taking time to comment

 it is very much appreciated and I do try to visit you back and enjoy looking at your work.

 

Enjoy your crafting

PS I just saw that I have won on the random generator on the Fashionable Challenge blog :)  for the masks and stencils challenge. How lovely. Thank you ladies.

 

 

I recently attended a workshop at my local quilting store

The workshop was run by a very talented mixed media artist Alexander Waylett

We worked with burnishing copper and gold leaf onto cotton velvet

I made this piece It should look better when I frame it, I hope LOL

but I really did enjoy the day.

 

Thanks for looking

Distressed Feminine Beauty

 

Blimey 2 posts on a wet soggy Sunday morning :) but it is a good day to craft :)

 

Over at Artful Times they are asking for a bit of Distressed

and at Vintage Stamping Challenge they want Feminine Beauty

two fabulous challenges and right up my street

Do drop by both blogs and check out the marvellous DT work

 

For this make I really wanted to do a chunky canvas but I did not have one so I have used a box lid and dare I say it:

 it worked out ok I think.

 

The box lid has been covered in scrunched up tissue paper

and I applied a lot of modge podge

then painted in vintage white and sky blue

stamped and embossed a gold swirl

stamped music, added bits of book page

well and truly metallic rubbed (I love these)

added

a die cut swirl and a body form which are painted blue

I made all the flowers

and found a lovely pre cut lady to finish

 

Thank you for visiting me and taking time to comment

Have a lovely Sunday

Autumn Colours Tag

 

Hello friends

I am so behind with visiting blogs

but this evening I shall blog hop to catch up :)

 

wow we have some lovely Autumn colours in our garden

and in our local countryside

so pretty

a favourite time of year

and two or three challenges

Artful Times  Fashionable Stamping Frilly and Funkie 

with Autumn Colours as the theme a favourite with me

so I have made a tag

 

I coloured it the background with DI

 tea dye, bundled sage, dried marigold and victorian velvet

die cut a topper and popped it through the text embossing folder

it has been rubbed with DI to bring out the text

I stamped the edges with a floral swirl

added a little bit of bunting (to herald Autumn)

the little birds waiting to fly to warmer climbs

is a piece of tape which I had forgotten I had in my stash

I finished with punched butterflies, a gorgeous flower

and a piece of lilac ribbon stuff,

Mmm

it is like a bit of tiny chain mail linked and you can twist it into shape and it holds

I had it for ages and it fell out of a box I was rummaging in.

I have some lovely Autumn purple/ lilac Chrysthans in my garden.

 

 

I am entering this tag into
