Crafty Boots - Sweet Treats

The Crafty Boots challenge starting today is Sweet Treats and here are some tasty cup cakes to get you tempted. The cup cakes were heat embossed on white card before being cut out and inked in a range of pinks to reflect the background.

To make it a bit different I tied vintage lace to the tag before mounting it on silver card and then onto the front of a card to give it the final touch.


Looking forward to seeing all your tempting sweet treats, bye for now.

Alpha Challenge - G

Hi I have managed to do this fortnights challenge at the Craft Barn on time and decided on the word  Gild - to overlay with gold. 

The background is painted in Paper Artsy Squid Ink and Ella Bella from Indigoblu and a couple of the swirls are gilded using Indigoblu Flitter glu and flakes. I also gold embossed a couple more swirls and the word dream to and a little more gold (although myself and my craft room are well and truly gilded).



I did do the last fortnights challenge but was a little late with my blog so I thought I would add it in here so here is my Zebra page, you can just about make out the Zebras (well horses I had to cheat) in black and white. I was a little limited on words I'm afraid.

Last Days of Summer

The Crafty Boots Challenge this week is set by Freya and she has asked us to reflect the last days of Summer. As we have had such a lovely summer this year I didnt want to frighten it away too quickly so I wanted to show the beautiful blue skies we have been having and the fact there seem to have been far more butterflies around this year than there have been for a while.

The stamps are from Chocolate Baroque stamped in gathered twig, The background mask was a Creative expressions one and the background was made up of broken china, brushed pewter, and some mystic pearls.

Enjoy these last days of summer and join us at Crafty Boots.
