I started my project my painting a very light Emerald Green Brusho wash over some Water colour paper. Once dry I stamped the Funny Fungi image and some sentiments onto my coloured background using Versafine black ink. 

I wanted to give my Fungi some vibrant colours so used a fine paint brush to apply some Brusho Acrylic mists (they can be used for more than just spritzing)

Next I mixed some Soft Form relief paste with some copper brusho acrylic mist and applied it with a dotting tool around the tops of the fungi. I like how this almost brings them to life.

While the soft form relief paste was still on my craft table I used the edge of a palette knife to apply some accents around one of the sentiments and in a couple of additional places.

Lastly I added a thin black edge to the paper to frame my project.

Thank you for stopping by, If you want to be in with a chance of wining the prize you need to leave comments on the designers blogs

Botanical Bliss - Tattered Lace Launch

Hello crafty friends, today I am sharing some cards made with the up and coming launch from Tattered Lace dies

The dies I have used are from the Silhouette collections, there is a link at the end of the post to the items on Create and Crafts website.

There are 3 dies in the collection and I think that inspired me to create 3 different cards with each die. 

The first three cards I created are in a blue and white colour pallet, keeping a clean and fresh feel.

I used distress inks to create a light background.

My second batch of cards were created with Distress Oxide sunset backgrounds and black die cut images and apertures.

My last lot of cards have a vintage feel and were created using the matching charisma images. 

Hopefully I have shown that the die's can be used in several ways to give different looks.

Here's the link to the die collection

Paperbabe Stamp Challenge #66 DT Project

Today we have a new challenge over at the Paperbabe Stamps blog and this time around it's a theme challenge!

The theme is
"dots"

To help inspire you I have created a Mixed media MDF portrait.

I coloured all of the pieces in acrylic paint, I kept it simple, no shading or highlights. I then stamped the facial features and heat embossed them with clear matt dull embossing powder from WOW embossing.

I added the dots using the polka dot mixed media stencils. I applied distress oxide through them using a blending tool and then added embossing powder over the top to give a subtle finish.

The items I used are linked below, the links take you diret to each item on the Paperbabe store.

Bobbin Street dies launch - DT makes

Todays post is something a little different, I was asked to make some samples for a new range of dies that are launching tomorrow from Bobbin Street.

I'm not the best sewist but I do like to have a go, below are some of the project I made and links to the products used.

I started off with a simple applique using the buttefly from the new launch. This was a very simple die cut and stitch type of project. I did however add some little stitches to look like a trail.

This project was one of my biggest samples and took a lot of hand stitching I used the English Paper Piecing die set 2. I had never Paper pieced with fabric before and this took a while but I am really happy with how it turned out.  

After getting the hang of English paper piecing I decided to up my game and try something even more adventurous......why do I do this to myself?

I found some pictures of Moravian star ornaments and thought I can do that. 60 individual English paper pieced diamonds later and my fingers almost fell off, lol

It is around 6" tall and took me roughly 5 evenings of stitching to complete.

To give me fingers a little rest I decided to use the diamond shape dies to create some mini bunting adorned with bows and buttons.

Lastly I used the applique butterfly to embellish a simple tote bag. 

The dies are so versatile as you can cut both paper and fabric with them.
