Just Magnolia - Week 4 - In Stitches

"This week the challenge is for Stitching - now this can be faux stitching, hand stitching, machine stitching, whatever takes your fancy. Some of the DT have done amazing stitching - hand and faux. In fact I struggled to work out what was real stitching and what wasn't on some of them. So if you haven't got a machine please don't be put off, grab a pen and get drawing!!"


So, out came the sewing machine!! Yes, real stitching :) The light here today is just awful, it's so dull and overcast, so it was hard to get a good picture.

PaperPlay Challenge - Week 16 - Flying High

This weeks Challenge was set by Jackie

The challenge is to use Wings on your project, Birds, butterflies, fairies whatever you like as long as it has wings.

This week I did a tag for my challenge entry.

How I did it:
I distressed the background with Fired Brick, Antique Linen and Broken China distress inks and stamped the swirls using Brushed Cordoroy and then brushed some Rust Perfect Pearls across it before it dried fully. I used crackle paint on the wings and heart and used a heat gun to both dry it faster, and to curl the wings up. I glued the wings onto the tag and then the heart onto the wings. I'm not sure what brand the sentiment is as it was sent to me by my dear friend Dee Dee. When everything was just about dry I spritzed the whole tag with copper Glimmer Mist and again used the heat gun to dry it off.

Tag ingredients: (all linked items are available at Pez-A-Doodle Designs)
Tim Holtz - Grungeboard Wings & Heart, Crackle Paint,- Fired Brick, Old Paper Distress Stickles - Fired Brick, Distress Inks - Fired Brick, Antique Linen & Broken China
Swirl Stamps - Inkadinkadoo
Perfect Pearls - Rust
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Copper.

Once I had that one finished I did another -


This time I applied a TH Mask and distressed the tag using Faded Jeans, then I removed the mask and applied Fired Brick. I spritzed the whole tag using glimmer mist. Then I distressed the edges of my patterned paper and glued it to the bottom of the tag.. then added a little bit of ribbon, a button and a tiny tag onto which I stamped a cute bird from the Inkadinkadoo Flourishes.

A Gorjuss Day

As I said... it was a Gorjuss day and I couldn't resist playing with the new kit. Of course then I couldn't decide which stamp I wanted to use.. so I ended up closing my eyes and picking 4 randomly, LOL. I still haven't decided if she's a blonde, brunette or jet black!

PDD Friday!!

CUPCAKES!!! Doesn't everyone love them?? I know I sure do :)

I used the Polkadot Pie Chocolate Treats 1 from Pez-A-Doodle Designs to make this card. I stamped one cupcake onto acetate/transparency and cut it out, then stamped one cupcake onto my paper, masked it with the acetate and then stamped the other to make them side by side like that. Then I stamped 6 of the mini cupcakes from the same set and coloured them all using distress inks. I used 3D foam dots to adhere all the cupcakes so that they pop out from the papers. Then I added stickles for a touch of sparkle and finally I used a Studio G sentiment to finish it off.
