Faith, Hope & Crafts

Hello Friends I wanted to make a quick tag for   Friends With Flair  today. I got some new stamps and wanted to have a wee play with them.  So I made this kraft tag. It was super quick and easy to make. All I did was stamp with versamark ink on to a kraft tag and heat embossed it  with white embossing powder. I then added some lace and pearls to embellish it a little.  The flowers are from the  Wish For The Best  stamp set and the sentiment is from the  In My Garden  stamp set. It took me all of 5 mins to make and I love it. Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a great weekend :) Mandi xox Also entering  Simon Says Stamp Wed  - Anything Goes

I love the way both of the colours blend into each other and left this crazy pattern behind.  I dried it with my heat tool an...

This month our challenge is Take A Technique - Pens & Pencils. We want to see you using your pens and pencils on your project. I used water coloured pencils on my project. I made this wee decorative pillow it is my first time making one. I don't own a sewing machine so I had to  sew it by hand. I forgot how tedious it is to sew by hand and stabbing your fingers with the needle is not fun ha!   I bought this fabric on clearance a few months ago I think it was like a $1. I am not sure what kind it is as there was no label on it but if feels like a very light canvas. I was not sure how the ink and pencils would react to it so I used some clear gesso over the top of it to give it a base to work on. I dried it with my heat gun before I stamped my ima...
