Downton Abbey Sneak Peek Number 2

Hello again,

As promised here's sneak peek number 2 from me for the Crafter's Companion launch of the glorious Downton Abbey collection of stamps, dies, embossing folders and triple CD on Create and Craft

Here's one using stamp stamps that will be on the show's, sets 3&4;

I built the tea cups up on top of each other, using the mask and layer technique and added the tea pot on top for a fun way of presenting them :D  I chose blue papers from CD2, the downstairs staff's collection and layered with lots of black card and gorgeous embellishments.  Finished with a few dabs of gesso for the vintage shabby chic look :D

Here's what I used:

Style: Square Tent Fold

Image: Downton Abbey Stamp Set 3 & 4

Shades of Summer...

Hello again,

It's time for some 'shades of summer'!  That's the theme for this months challenge over at Crafting Muskateers Challenge Blog...we would love you to come and join in the challenge.

The sponsor this month is The Hobby House, a totally awesome prize so lets get ready, set and go.....

'Shades of Summer' inspiration:

You know those feelings you get when you are really happy with what you've created?  Doesn't happen often for me but this one really did make me smile :D

Here's the how and the what's:

Supplies from Crafters Companion
Cardstock: Hint of silver Centura Pearl 300gsm card; Coordinations card; Black Card
Die used: Die'Sire Create a Card Lace Butterfly (seriously if you haven't got this yet, please take a peek....it is so gorgeous and versatile).
Accented by Pebeo Gilding Wax

Supplies from The Hobby House
Embellishment: Lace; Pearl String

From Stash: bakers twine and key

The 'how' is so easy with the Create A Card range of dies... I made a 6 x 6 inch card base using Hint of Silver Centura Peal card ; the Lace Butterfly Create a Card is 6x6 inches.  Lay the die onto the Centura Pearl card and simply run through the Cut n Boss.
Then use Coordinations card (6 x 6) and run the die through again.  Then lay it carefully over the Centura Pearl you cut before...the raise the wings on both pieces...you will be able to create a double wing look (see photo's) by doing this.
I then rubbed gilding wax over the raised areas and then added lace and pearls to the body of the Butterfly and a final touch using the key and bakers twine.

Here's the close ups:

Thank you so much for stopping by and it would be great if you would click to follow me so I can share more of my makes with you :D

Don't forget to check out the Crafting Muskateers Challenge this month, remember the theme is 'shades of summer' so it time to get that summer feeling rocking the craft room :D

Happy Crafting :D
