I wonder if.....

Something a little different for you today, using Creative Expressions goodies. I was inspired by a photo on pintrest and got to wondering if the fabulousity that is Flake and Glitter glue would work on pebbles - turns out it certainly does. What joy, now not only can I guild on paper, wood, acetate, and metal but pebbles too. Not tried fabric yet, but I might give it a whirl, you don't know if you don't try!

Busy Bees

This week, I've been having a play with the Botanical spray stamps from Creative Expressions, as well as Cosmic Shimmer ink sprays.

First I stamped and clear embossed the spray onto white card, then randomly sprayed the inks.
I stamped the bees randomly onto a square of kraft card, then for my focal point, I drew a circle and stamped the bee around it.

All Yellow

I've been making backgrounds again this week, playing with my masks and getting inky - no change there then!

I embossed my cardstock using the mask, then keeping the mask in place, I stamped, then added perfect medium so that I could heat emboss the pattern. I then went over the whole background with ink. I stamped my images and clear embossed them, mounting them onto foam for added dimension.

Mother's Day

This is my card for my mum - I've gone for a really simple layout and colour scheme to highlight the embossing and texture.

I used the Celtic flower embossing folder to give texture, and embossed my stamped image with gold powder - the image is Ivy Corner and I added a few punched flowers and seam binding for dimension.

Swoosh!

More inky fun for me this week. I've been playing with some new Cosmic Shimmer Vintage ink sprays and of course, my favorite, it has to be masks - this time it's Swoosh. I sprayed my card, dried it, resprayed through the mask, then applied perfect medium through the mask so that I could clear emboss the design.

Did I mention I love gilding flakes!

I think I just might put them on everything lol. If you've never tried them, you must - it's the law! For me, it wouldn't be possible without the Flake and Glitter Glue and for this card, I used the Red Blaze flakes but they're available in some stunning mixes, so take your pick - Red blaze seemed to go so well with the Mirano Perfume bottle stamp

Thank you

I made today's project using some lovely new stamps I've been playing with - they're by Creative Expressions and Sue Wilson - you can see the range here

I stamped the image and embossed with white, then coloured the card with Victorian Velvet distress and added colour to the flowers with Cosmic Shimmer Drawing Inks. I've matted onto cardstock coloured using shaving foam and Cosmic Shimmer mists.
