Pretty Gables

I've done a few workshops making some pretty gift boxes....


The first are the silver Gable Boxes from the Spring mini


These are made using the Lots to Love Thinlits, also in the Spring Mini.
They made one of the tall thin cards that fit inside....you can buy packs of these with envelopes.

March Rudolph Day

Happy Rudolph Day!
It's the 25th of the month again, and time for the
Do gallop over and see everyones artwork

I started with this lovely elegant stag from Merry Patterns.
I love his pretty coat!

This led me to play with some old patterned papers.
The cute hedgehog is back ......did some paper piecing,
but whoever gets this one had better appreciate how long it took!
I totally underestimated the difficulty with all the 'fur',
which I ended up decoupaging as well as the patterned paper.


This bottom one looks a bit dull I think.....was meant to be one for the men,
but it needs work!

Have a great day

Working with Brusho by Stampin' Up!


I love playing with Brusho........
it's like a powder paint that always amazes me when you add water..........
the particles have different colours, that when combined give you the colour on the pot,
but if you add a small amount of water you get a speckled effect.....
every time you get a different effect.

We experimented at a recent class, and made 2 cards.
The first is a background, made by sprinkling the Brusho, and spritzing with water.
The second, cased from Judy May, is watercoloured, mixing the Brusho with water, using a paint brush.




The "explosion" was pure fluke, I just turned the piece of card around to suit,
the circles are stamped with Playful Backgrounds, and the epoxy "bubbles" add cute detail.
The label used Tabs for everything, punched a circle and scalloped circle

I watercoloured the basket of flowers, adding shading, and some shadow underneath,
to "ground" the basket so it's not floating mid air.
I added the Sweet Soiree paper to the yellow card, then ran both through the Bigshot
using the new Basketweave embossing folder.
The butterfly is from the same Blossoming Basket set, and fussy cut.
We decorated the insides, and envelopes using Rose Wonder, Bloomin' Love,
and an old Papermania stamp set.

Have a look at this video from Stampin' Up!.............
