Clothed in Strength

Hello Friends :)

Happy Monday to you! I was messing around with my inks for an ink challenge this morning. But it really was NOT happening for me. So I just played around and ended up making this card instead. It totally was not what I was trying to make at all. I love happy craft accidents as they don't happen very often to me :)

This card is made with the Strength & Dignity KOM 11/13 from Unity. I am using this kit a lot lately. I made the background with distress inks sponging Victorian Velvet and Peeled Paint. Then stamped some images on top with just the Victorian Velvet.

Then I heat embossed the sentiment with black glitter embossing powder. It's my new embossing powder I bought from Zing. I found it at Hobby Lobby.The camera does not do it any justice but it leaves a nice subtle sparkle behind. I mounted it on to black card then a white card base. I stamped some flowers at the bottom of the card. Then coloured them with the same inks and added some rhinestones to finish.

I hope you enjoy my card :)

Unity & Misti Blog Hop

Hello My lovelies :) Welcome to the Unity and Misti blog hop! I hope you are enjoying seeing all of the projects so far. I just had my first wee play with the Misti tool the other day. It is a very new to me tool and wow do I LOVE it!! It is awesome! Just for the simplest of things like positioning a stamp. One time is all you need with the Misti!! I am not one of those crafters that gets my stamped images crisp first time. I usually have wasted a card or two before I end up with a perfect image. This tool totally eliminates all of that. Here is my very first card that I made with the Misti tool and Unity stamps. I used a stamp called Scattered Pieces . I LOVE this stamp and the sentiments that come with it. I positioned the feather and the sentiment at the same time on the Misti. I totally love that you can do that too! It lets you stamp several at once instead of just eye b...

Tag Trio Day 5 GIU

Hello Friends Welcome to my final day as GIU girl. I must say that I have loved every minute of it and I have enjoyed putting all of my projects together for you to see. So I wanted to end my week with some distress tags. I love getting messy with my distress inks and using the embossing resist technique. I chose this lovely flower stamp set called Insightful Meadows . The sentiments are from another stamp set called The Simple Things . These were so easy to make I stamped all of the flowers and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. Then I took 3 different colours for each tag and swiped them on to my craft sheet. I spritzed some water and let the tag pick up the inks. I dried them 3 or 4 times in between until I had built up the colours I wanted. I then stamped out the sentiments on to vellum and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I attached the vellum with glue and glued it at the back of ...

Craft Stamper November Challenge

Hey Friends Welcome to a new Craft Stamper challenge for November. Can you believe we are almost at the end of the year already!! Where did time go?? It has been pretty cold and frosty up here in Scotland for the last few nights. But I am hanging on to Autumn as long as I can. I took a wee walk around the park and collected some lovely Autumn leaves. I wanted to incorporate them into my project today. I put the leaves in some paper and put them inside a heavy book overnight to press them down. I started off with a white card base and used this sentiment stamp from Unity and repeat stamped all down the side of my card using Potting Soil Archival Ink. Then I went around the edges with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink. Next I took my leaves and my paper punches and punched a heart shape out from the yellow leaf and then stuck it to my card with fabric glue. Then I punched som...
