No Pattern Paper Mixed Media Card

Good Morning :)

The new C4E Recipe Challenge was posted today HERE and I am back today to share my DT project with you :)
This week we would like you to share projects which have NO PATTERN PAPER!
We have a fab prize up for grabs kindly donated by Di's Digi Downloads and lots of gorgeous inspiration from the design team.

This week I made a cute 3" square mixed media card using my favourite colour!

I used a selection of Tom Holtz stamps, Dylusions Inks and Modelling Paste.

The Modelling Paste was brushed with a little Perfect Pearls powder to give it some extra shimmer.

To finish I sprinkled some white gesso and silver Maya Gold paint over the whole piece.

You have until Midnight Thursday 5th February to enter and you can enter up to 3 different projects plenty of time to get the paints out ;)

It's the C4E crop and workshops next Sunday (08-02-15) so I have a busy week ahead getting ready for that!
But before that I have a special little boys 9th birthday to sort out! My youngest, Alix will be 9 on Monday and I still have to make his cards, wrap his presents and make a non-cake-birthday cake! Bless him he doesn't like sponge cake so I have had to come up with a different idea for his birthday cake, he had to have something to put a candle in lol! Fingers crossed it goes to plan!

Have a wonderful day thanks for stopping by!

Mixed Media Thank-you cards

Good Morning :)

After our Christmas break we are back today with a fresh challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity :)

This weeks challenge details can be found HERE along with gorgeous DT inspiration and entry.

The challenge this week is BLUE TONES and for my DT project I made two mixed media thank-you cards.

Both cards were made in the same way, I stamped on to a piece of white cardstock using black Stazon ink and some lovely Tim Holtz stamps.

I then coloured them using Dylusions inks.

When they were dry I added a Modelling paste mix through a stencil, then sprinkled a little glitter on before it dried.

I hope you will be able to join us this week and don't forget we have a DT call on at the moment too :)

Have a fabulous weekend

Thanks for stopping by
