Good day lovelies. Happy week between Christmas and New Year. I love these days that don't quite make sense. A lot of family time and relaxing and confusion of what needs to be done when. I hope you are all having a lovely festive season. I haven't been up to much but have been enjoying lots of family silliness and a lot of stitchiness too (accompanied by family films on TV).
My BIG crafty news is that I finally finished stitching Summer's Christmas stocking that I took in to hospital when I went in to have her. So I have been stitching it on and off for 3 (nearly 4) years. Just got to finish it off and back it ready for next year. Oh and make another stocking for Sylvie too as I cannot have one handmade and not the other. That is a project that can wait till 2016 now though! Picture to follow later in the week ;0)
Today I have another sneak peek project for you. I made this card for one of my lovely crafty friend's birthdays just before Christmas. This uses the lovely Birthday Blooms stamp set. I adore the lovely handwritten sentiments in this set.
For this card I heat embossed the flower image in Silver and coloured with my Blender Pens using Rich Razzleberry, Wisteria Wonder and Wild Wasabi ink pads. I love all the different colour tones you can get simply by colouring with the Blender Pens.
I added the sentiment and a sprinkling of sequins for sparkle and finished by mounting on to a layer of Silver Foil card and then on to a Whisper White base.
I am currently working on my events for 2016 list. I have some great ideas for upcoming classes so please check back later in the week where I will be releasing all the info for the year ahead.
