back to making cards

Using the big and juicy Vibrant with a brayer on glossy for the hen and regular card stock for the duck and hearts which is this months free stamp with Craft Stamper

Got the knitting needle out

I have always knitted ever since I was a child from Arran and fairisle to lace but I've never done it with wire before or made much in the way of jewellery, but had this urge anything to avoid making Christmas cards and once I'd started I couldn't stop lol.

I managed to sell a few to cover the cost and gave some as presents .

Metal Embossing

I've been having a play with more metal embossing and this is the one I have finish today for the Lots to Do

It's stamped on the back and then embossed , I used a texture plate for the for the back ground and coloured with alcohol inks and a red and green sharpie .

Thanks for looking :)

Once you stop thinking about Christmas it's amazing how other ideas come flooding back . These are for a swap on Crafty Us hosted by Sylvia the theme cobwebs, humm they don't show up to well in the scan but I have used an iridescent embossing powder.

Silhouette

I think I mentioned I bought one of these machines well even though I'd lost my mojo it didn't stop me playing with it and trying it out :) and belive it or not I used some peices I cut on some ATC's for a swap, I stuck 4 together so they were nice and dimentional and inked them. Hope who ever gets them will like them :)

Lost my mojo

I haven't posted for a while as nothing was going the way I wanted, think I was thinking to much about Christmas which I have given up on now lol.

This is the card I did at the begining of the month adapted for a Christmas card so unless I get into the Christmas spirt this is what I'll be sending my family this year
