Winter Blues..

Here's my take on the theme, I decided to make a large tag for my project and this is what I come up with.  Please don't forget to head on over to the challenge blog to check out the rest of our design team's creations and to enter into the competition for a chance to win a spending spree in the Aladdin's Cave that is the Sweet Stamps Store.

A Simple Christmas

Hello everyone, not long to go now until the big day.  Have you managed to do all your Christmas shopping? I still have a few bits to get.  

Over on Sweet Stamps we have a lovely Christmas challenge for you and that's "Simple Christmas" . 

Here's my take on the theme. 

I decided to make a tag again (love doing these) To get the white image I used white paint, dried with a heat tool then distressed over the top and it creates this wonderful resit.  You could use white embossing powder too. 

The flower is one of the new flower strips from Cheery Lynn (Love this sooo much!!) I have inked with barn door reinkers in a mini mister and added perfect pearls to the mixture to give that wonderful pearly shimmer.. 

The seam binding I have sprayed with water and scrunched up and left to dry.  

Hope you like my project today. Don't forget to head on over to the Sweet Stamps challenge blog and enter into the challenge you could be the luck winner of the $20 spending spree in the Aladdin's Cave of Craft which in the Sweet Stamps online store.

Microbeads

Hello everyone, I'm so sorry but this post was due to go live on Wednesday but blogger wasn't playing fair and decided not to post it! 

Well as its the 15th of the month its time for another monthly challenge. The theme for this month is 

Micobeads. 

Head on over to the challenge blog to find out more and the visit the rest of this very talented design team. To enter just make something using Mircobeads, you could be a winner.... 

I used Sugar Sand instead of Mircobeads only because I wanted a more softer look. I have used a strip of double sided sticky tape at the bottom.then sprinkled the sugar sand over the top.  Gives a beautiful result as the acetate looks like frosted glass.  

Hope you liked my project today.
