Index card a day... UK style

So just as I start the whole index card a day thing I have to go to the other side of the world and without my craft supplies. I packed craft stuff but then my suitcase didn't arrive...... How rude!

When I finally got my suitcase back these are the ICADs for the last 2 days.... Playing with new techniques

This is tissue paper, pan pastels, faber castel Pitt pens, collage scraps and stencils. 

This is book paper, grunge paste and stencils, pan pastels, faber castel Pitt pens .....

I'm just having lots of fun with techniques and different products. This is a great way of making sure I have a go at doing something crafty everyday. 

Don't let anyone dull your sparkle

After my great class at Artified with Naomi Cox I became a little addicted to gelatos....

This is on 300g waterproof paper prepped with gesso. I've used gelatos with a mini mister of water to create a base for the background. Along with pieces of book page stuck down with matt medium gel.

I've also stamped with clear stamps using the gelatos and also mixed up impasto with gelato and used through couple of stencils. I've scribbled with the gelatos around the edges to border the page.

I have used paper artsy grung paste through the Tim Holtz star stencil to give a real pop around the edges. I have then used a kaiser quote stamp with momento black ink and cut out some chipboard birds and birdcage and coloured them again with my gelatos....

Simple gelato love!!!

Altered canvas- my next class at Crafters cupboard. 19th October

This is the next class I'm teaching at Crafters Cupboard. It's an altered canvas using grunge paste, paper artsy paints and dylusion ink sprays. I have also used punchinella, buttons, paper flowers and charms. 

I'm really looking forward to teaching this class on the 19th October !
