Cosmic Peacock

Hello Everyone

Whilst trying to tidy my craft room the other afternoon, I came across a set of cosmic shimmer water colour paints pristine in packet, so I may have got slightly distracted from the tidying and may have had to play instead.

I have white heat embossed, a beautiful peacock stamp, from Stampin Up, and then painted it with the cosmic shimmers. In real life this has the most glorious sheen to it - think I will have to get my ladies in my class to try this.

Through The Window

Hello Everyone

Just thought I'd stop by and share one of my cards from this weeks class. It uses the new Hearth and Home thinlet die from Stampin' Up - think it's my new favorite die as it is so versitile for both male and female cards, and a stamp from the retired Moonlake stamp set, which I have coloured with ProMarkers. I have kept it fairly simple, so hopefully it looks like you are looking out of a window in an ordinary room.

I would like to enter me card in the following challenges;

Tool Box

Hello Blogland

Today sees another of my favorite box cards. This time round it is for the new challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty, where this week we are looking for you creations 'using a sentiment'. There are 2 sponsors this time round Crafty Sentiments and Deedee's Designs.

I got to choose which I'd like to work with, so choose Tool Time from Deedee's. As soon as I say it, I knew I wanted to turn it into a tool box. The panels have been stamped with a wood grain stamp, brown on brown, and then have been run through a wood grain embossing folder to give more detail. Even the support struts are stamped and embossed. Hopefully this will be an ideal card for a D.I.Y. lover.
