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

Spectrum Noir markers:

LG2, 3, DG3

OR1, 2

TB2, 4, IG1, 2, 4, 6

Sharing the love...

Hello again,

An extra post or two for you over the next couple of days to share recent commissioned makes that I couldn't blog for a while.

The first is all about love...

Image is coloured with Copics and its called SQUEEZE by That Craft Place

As always, off cuts make a super super insert, just move them around until you like the result

Here's the how and what's:

Everything I used except the sentiment can be found at That Craft Place and even if they don't have the exact thing left in stock they will have alternative goodies to create the same effects :D  Don't forget they have a bricks and mortar shop too!
Image: Squeeze from That Craft Place Etsy Shop
Paper pad: Craftwork Cards Botanical 8x8 inch pad
For the main embellie, my lace and pearls swag, I used my hot glue gun starting on one side.  Pop a blob of glue then use a large ball embossing tool to push the lace in, strunch it a bit then another blob and repeat.  Once you get all the way along, moving the line up and down if you wish you can then go back and use a pearl strand to hide any glue showing by glueing it over the top :D
The hearts were die cut from off cuts of paper and then edged with Momento Ink in a matching colour tone.
And that's about all (for a change lol)

Here's the close ups:

TOP TIP: I cut an 8x8 inch base card down to 7 x 7 so I could hang over and still put it in the envelope for posting!  

A touch of frantage and some diamond pieces

The sentiment was made on my computer and that's about that.

Thank you so much for letting me share this one with you today and please don't forget to follow me so you can catch my next make :D

Happy Crafting :D
