Well, I am one of the very few people who have never watched Downton Abbey! I know there are just loads of you that have and love it but hey ho it would be a boring ole world if we all liked the same thing hey :D
Anyway...have you heard the crafty news? No? Well.....Crafter's Companion will launch the Official Downton Abbey Crafting Collection on Create and Craft Monday 21st September! Yes, this Monday...woohoo
So exciting! You will just love the Triple CDrom that has crafty collections for all the characters 'above' stairs and 'below', and then an amazing collection of rubber stamps, dies and embossing folders that whether you like and watch Downton Abbey or not will be just perfect in your crafty collection
I was lucky enough to get to play with the stamp sets and teamed them up with my Spectrum Noir marker pens
I really really really didn't want to send this one in to CCHQ! It's one of those rare...omgosh I made that moments! lol
I layered the stamps, masking as I went along to arrange the stamps along the border, then fussy cut a border with my small scissors (Fiskars of course and I've had them years!) I then glued it to a piece of black card that was just bigger and then again fussy cut the edge stamp border :D I adore the effect it created...here's what else I used to make it:
