I'm Back!!

Well Blogland, it has been rather a while since my last post...June last year! Well, my only excuse is I lost my mojo a bit, I ended up doing a lot more hours at work, and had less time to craft, then the festive period arrived..as I work in retail, in a busy Wines dept for Waitrose, I had little to no time or energy to craft. Coupled with the fact I had begun a WSET Course in September, well, I had little time for anything!

Thankfully, now, I have handed in my course work, and feel free to indulge in more pleasant pursuits! My only worry was, could I still craft? And could I remember how to make a blog post? It was fine in the end, I didn't even need to call a teen to help me out!

Last night I created a mini canvas using some lovely stamps I received for Christmas, by Visible Image.



I used the stamp set 'Sparkle in the Rain' for this little glittery creation. I stamped the lovely lady in Versamark and embossed with Sliver Glitter EP from Stampendous, and fussy cut out. I repeated this, and glued them both together, to make a more sturdy topper.



While the glue was drying, I used my Glue pad to stamp the rain and sprinkled Glamour Dust onto it. I then Sliver Glitter embossed the sentiment onto black card and cut out. To 'ground' her I cut some little daisies off a daisy ribbon and some leaves from some leafy ribbon, and glued them on randomly.

Finally I added some silver sequins, the lady and the sentiment. She is sitting on my shelf above my much neglected craft area, sparkling at me.




During last week I also made this card, using Brushos and more Visible Image stamps from their new release, called Create It! and Outside the Lines. I love the way the Brusho colours turned out, and the stamps are embossed in WOW! Silver Glitter powder.

I would like to enter these cards into That's Crafty Challenge -Words, and Sweet Stamper's Challenge - Add a Sentiment, and A Vintage Journey - Words that are Special, and We Love to Create - Mixed Media
I must say it is nice to have a bit of crafty mojo back, I hope you've enjoyed my little makes today.

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
