Guest DT spot at Frilly & Funkie!

Hi everyone, second post of the day! I was absolutely delighted to be chosen as a Frilly and Funkie favourite and be given the opportunity to create a project for their current 'Things with Wings' challenge.

Hope you'll hop across and take a look .

I decided to create a little box canvas and chose  a winged angel stamp from Crafty Individuals. Very vintage colours with a hint of pink.

The embossed sides.

Canvas trim and embellishments.

The final piece. Thanks for stopping by and hope you'll be able to join in with the challenge. 

'Time Flies' at Stamps and Stencils

Hi everyone, first of 2 posts from me today. Over at Stamps and Stencils Yvonne is our very talented host this month and has chosen 'Time Flies'...very apt for me at the moment! We would like to see clocks, watches or any other time related element as  a focus of your project. Please do hop across and see what the talented DT have created to inspire you.

I've created a 'time' inspired panel. The starting point for this was a gelli print in vintage colours.

I thought the green stencil/ mask I'd used on the right looked a bit like a clock face so grew it from there. Some clear embossing paste through a clarity stencil and sanding the edges to distress it followed.

Stamping in archival inks.

The print was pulled onto a canvas textured paper.

Treasure gold had to appear!

I think it just adds that finishing touch.

The second post will be along shortly... a bit like buses, nothing from me for a while and then 2 at once! Craft room update...it's coming along nicely, decorating finished but oh boy finding a place for everything is a challenge...and it all fitted in before in less room! Well it was overflowing if I'm honest. I'm still not up and running properly as I can't find half my stuff so my creations are with reduced supplies :-).

Thanks for stopping by, hope to be back blogging and visiting quite soon.

Golden

Hi everyone, just a quick post. Last week I was asked to make a golden wedding card, which was a bit of a challenge as at the time I was really in a grungy, splash paint around sort of place....anyway after a bit of a think....

I decided to adapt the layout I'd used here, a little vintage but still my style.

Vanilla fresco crackle over gold paint

The same treatment to the finnabair mechanicals and embellishments plus some florentine treasure gold.

Background stamping with PaperArtsy  stamps in archival yellow and white brilliance ink and it's complete.

You may have noticed I've been tidying my blog, finally labelled my posts and sheer madness I'm now on facebook...anyone who knows me will remember I said I would never do that...well I wanted to be able to share my Donna Downey inspiration Wednesday pages, so that was the main trigger.
I'm also pretty excited at the moment because I'm lucky enough to have a room to craft in now...all to myself...which I'm in the process of decorating and reorganising. If I don't post for a while it's because all my craft stuff is currently packed up....hope it won't be too long before I post again. Thanks as always for stopping by.
