Wonderfall

OOh have just started to play with the wonderfall stamp set and matching leaf die. Its wonderful!

 I collected together DSP in autumn colours and picked out similar shades of ink including old olive, summer starfruit, crumb cake and tangerine tango.
I cut the Dsp so that I had about 1 dozen of each leaf/paper shade. Before I looked at the leaves I used the diamond glaze to coat the acorns.
Then I sat arranged the leaves on a dinner plate until I was happy with the layout. This did take a bit of time.
The dsp is so good that curling with the scissor blade was enough for them to hold their shape whilst I glued them all in place.
When the circle was complete I went to gather the now dry acorns only to find 2 missing. When I went to bed I found them stuck to the bottom of my cardigan and they didn't want to come unstuck!
Hope you like this.

Watercolour

This is another flowery one but I switched to the paint brush!
Dainty, pretty and very girly. What more can I say.

Chalks 2

And another one, again the picture isn't up to much, I  did try with the flash but that just made everything orange coloured.
This is a very old Anna Griffin stamp which I just couldn't let go of.
 I have done this one in lots of colour ways, it works well in pinks and even greens!

Chalks

The chalk box has been busy this week with some of my favorite stamp sets. The range and depth of colour you can get with a cotton wool ball and a piece of chalk always amazes me. I have then raided my stash for matching ribbons, beads and other. Lets just say 'off piste' this week!
The picture really does not do this justice.
This card is C5 , haven't made any of these for a while.

Molly Bloom

I made this last week at a Clare Rowlands class. Not only are her stamps lovely she really is a paper engineer..
We made the box frame from one 12 x 12 sheet of card. Then cut DSP to fit inside, outside and around the side of the middle part. I'm not sure which die was used to create the snowflake but it is pretty. We used lumpy embossing powder mixed with glitter to do the snow on the trees. I then used copic markers to colour and decoupage the snowman. The carrot nose and berries on the holly are coated with crystal effects. I really like this and will be making a few more.

Calm Christmas

Acetate, that's the key to my next couple of makes until I settle on the one for the class on the 30th September. Places still available!
I have stamped on the acetate with white stazon. I am well pleased with the results. It shows off the fine intricate detail in the stamp. Not sure which dark blue this is as my order for more midnight muse has not arrived yet.

Well, off to work on version 2!
