Foiled!

The challenge on DCM this week is:

"....I would like you to utilise some plain old aluminium foil from your kitchen. You can scrunch it, die cut it, emboss it, ink it, coil it, cover chipboard - or anything else that you choose!....."

Took me a while to think up something for this one as I wanted the foil to be as subtle as possible! This is my contribution:


I started by covering the card with red Bazzill c.s. and then layered some DP from Bo Bunny. Then I added two strips of Bazzill c.s. in light blue and red to the bottom of the card, the red piece having been run through my Bigshot with the Cuttlebug circle flowers embossing folder. I stamped Tilda and her watering can and coloured with Brushables and added a little glitter dust to her wings. This was then layered onto kitchen foil and light blue Bazzill c.s. and mounted onto the card with foam pads. I then covered a slide (is that what you call them?) with more foil and ran it through my Big Shot using the Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder. Fixed a Pink Petticoat sentiment to the back of it. Finally, added some flowers from Poppicrafts and some blue brads from my craft box.

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials.  I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so.  I would highly recommend it.

Chocolate Somethings

Friday again and Half Term has started! The boys finished school yesterday so hopefully, we've got a fun day together! The challenge on Stamp Something this week is chocolate - everybody's favourite! and there's one stamp I turn to when that word is mentioned. I've followed the sketch on Mojo Monday for this card. The image is from Penny Black and has been coloured with Promarkers. Cardstock is Bazzill Bling and papers are Doodlebug. Matted the image onto some c.s. which has been run through the Cuttlebug and threaded some ribbon through using SU slot punch. Finally added a brad from my stash . A big thank you to Jose for helping me with my images......love the way some of you girls have been putting a sneak peek at the top of your posts and Jose was nice enough (and clever enough) to explain how to do it. Hope you all have a great weekend.
