Poppystamps, Blog Blitz, For Always Being There

I'm over on the Poppystamps blog today with a monochrome idea, softened with a grey sentiment...

And what's more, these cute Whittle Birds are the giveaway prize for one person (chosen at random) who stops by here to leave a comment...

... or over on the Poppystamps Instagram page!

I always add a thin layer of varnish (spray can) to protect my white cards... unless I'm after a bit more texture! (In which case tend to favour Holtz Crazing Medium).

Full details on 'how to make' are over on the Poppystamps page...
(Same link as above).

Thanks as always for stopping by today.

Enjoy your week...

Tag You're It, St Patrick's Day/Birthday

I'm here with a reminder post for the current Tag You're It challenge...

... and mine comes with a twist!

After all, people do have their birthday's at all times of year!

Here's my tag...

... And here's the challenge theme.

Can you see what I've done?

I've taken the three leaf clover element from the challenge theme and used that as the basis of a Happy Birthday tag.

The three leaf clover design has been taken from Pinterest.

I've simply added the heat embossed stamping, splatters and a few die cuts to brighten it up.

There's still time to join us at Tag You're It!

Hope to see you there.

Craft Consortium, The Riverbank, Framed Scene

Have you seen the new Riverbank Collection?

It's the newest product range that Craft Consortium has put together in Partnership with Hackney & Co...

... and it IS amazing!

So much so that I spent an entire week on this project... and enjoyed every single minute of it!

Lots of photo's to show you.

Here goes...

I've made the frame using paper from the Premium Paper Pad and added a distressed look to the edges using Silver Gilding Wax.

The base of the frame uses one of the newest Glitter Card colours that has been added to the collection.

The 'page' is from an old gardening book.

I've dry brushed with White Gesso and rethreaded the page... leaving the ends to dangle off the frame.

Then I've used Texture Paste through a stencil, inked that back over with a dauber once dry... and then added some stamped images from the new collection that have been heat embossed using Distress Powder.

The stamped images have all been fussy cut, then coloured using Lindy's Magicals.

Here's two photo's I put on Instagram showing some of the colours used...
