Raw Art

Hiya

Two blog posts from me in the same day, Wozza.

I finally had time to finish off a project yesterday that has been hanging around for a while, we all have them don't we!

When I am in a funk I revert back to Paper blocking, its like my safety net.

I absolutely adore Tim Holtz Destination papers, they make me smile and remember past holidays.  I really wanted a washed out background to not compete with the centre display.  I have had the Alpha cards from when they were released a few CHA's ago, but have never used them, so I set to put that right.  I am really happy with how this project worked out.

Thanks for stopping by, until the next time

Take Care

Birthday cards that are not cards!!!!

Hiya

Again Life has been getting in the way of my crafting and posting to be honest.  But I have managed a few little nuggets........

First up

One of my very good friends is Katy Fox, some of you may know that she is the Editor of Craft Stamper.  Well I always find it very hard to make Katy a Birthday card for obvious reasons and I refuse to buy one.  So I set about making her a card with a difference.  I took a paper Substrate hanging thingy from Paper Artsy and this is what I made. I have to say I loved it, definately a different type of card for sure!

I was still  in the different Birthday card mood so up next was an Art Part Frame  for my sisters birthday.
This time I decided to stamp into Embossing Paste as per Wendy's technique I saw on You Tube. 

I really liked the stamping into Embossing paste technique and will definately will use this again.

and she is only 9 years old................

Hiya

I just had to share the following with you all.

Every now and again I have my husbands second cousins daughter  over for a craft session. We have completed projects using paper blocking, melt art and collage.  This time she wanted to make a card and a present for her Teacher who is leaving the school in July.

Now I could have made my life a lot simpler as I was suffering on Saturday by getting her to make a very easy card  and have speeded up the whole session, but she has such a drive and passion for learning that I just could not do that to her.   Under my tution she created an amazing couple of projects and yes she did all but the fussy cutting her self.

 Please remember she is only 9 YEARS OLD.................

Well here are the two master pieces, what do you think?

Thank for looking, until the next time.
