Afternoon followers and friends first thank you all for your wonderful comments

 on past posts the keep me going and mean so much.

This post is a personal one, 

Today would of been my dad's 75th  birthday but we lost him

12 years ago, and on top of that I lost my one and only best friend 2 years ago 

so this month is a hard one.

These 2 people took a big chunk of my heart, I have always had trouble making friends

but thanks to my blog and Facebook I have gained a few new friends.

And now I am living part of my dream by working on a DT for an amazing company.

Thank you to all of you that have had a share in helping me get this far.

So all your love and comments really do help me.

Love n Hugs

I took the stencil Stuck it to the card with masking tape then I and dabbed 

the clear pad over the stencil make sure you get it in all the holes,

Then I added the embossing powder then heated it with a heat tool.

once this was done I took 2 pots from the mica powders

and put a small amount over the image and rubbed it across the image

to leave a very soft look I then took the distress ink and added some color  around 

the image. When I embossed the background I used the same ink and rubbed it over the

raised embossing to highlight them.

Then I added some ribbon flower and feather and gems from my stash.

Heart of love

Afternoon everyone Thank you for all your wonderful comments 

and taking time to stop by.

As some of you know I have had to pack most of my craft stuff away ready for the move

but I can still get to my DT box lol its everything I have from Imagination crafts

and a box of to alter lol

So I have this medium heart a small canvas and a frame 

Some I got from Fernil Designs there laser cuts are amazing the best 

I have seen. so pop over to them and see what other goodies they have. 

I cut a piece of  pink tulle just a bit bigger than the heart 

and using my heat gum melted it into the shape of the heart them used 

hot glue to stick it down and to leave raised bits.

Then i cut a few more bits of tulle and glued down in any gaps and melted them

to fit. I painted the glue in the same pink as the heart its an acrylic paint 

from plaid. 

I took the baby canvas and covered it with a clear embossing ink and covered it 

with a pink powder I have I did this twice so it was a nice thick cover.

I then took lace and frilled it around the back.

Then I took a piece of gingham ribbon and put a not in it then glued to the back of the canvas.

I used a frame from Fernli and glued it to the canvas and bought the ribbon ends forward.

I add a bit of princess ribbon some ribbon and perils and a bit of an earing.

To finish I used Diamond sparkle  a white paste that dries clear and leaves an amazing sparkle.

One of my new cols and a must have as you can do so much with this one col.

Hope you liked this one

It is so easy to make and looks fab

I made the box out of pearlised white card

and used prima rondelle paper collection around the box

I added it to the sides of the box then glued it together.

I only  added a ribbon bow for the outside 

as I wanted the wisteria to be the standout

and it suited a simple look.

Mid month Inspiration from Imagination crafts

Morning everyone I finally have my weekends back lol

Hope you're having fab weekend.
This time I bring you a sparkle medium on a small paper bag.
I used:
Fuchsia Stamp set
Pastel Green Sparkle Medium
flower frame stencil
Starlight mic powder

I took some card and slotted it in the bag,Then I taped the stencil

top and bottom, Then using the sparkle medium covered the whole  

stencil.

One it was covered I took of the bottom piece of tape 

and checked all of the image was good, then I removed the top tape.

While the bag was drying I took my beautiful stamp and versa mark

and stamped it on the black card from Imagination and using gold ultra detail

embossing powder embossed the image.

After tat was done I used 2 of the mica powders and water 

to make a little past then painted the image with it. 

Once everything was dry I used hot glue to glue the image onto

the bag.

Hope you all like it please do try these amazing products

there so much fun.
