Decorated Glasses

My first glass is a wine glass I am really pleased with the results, I started with a cheap glass I can’t have expensive ones in my house I break too many!!!  I worked from the reverse side applying rice papers with fabric glue to the inside of the glass, this needs time to dry as the glue dries clear then I added two coats of chalk paint allowing we coat to dry before add more.




I will be back soon with a tumbler!!!

Marbling on Fabric

I just thought I would post a couple of pictures of bags I decorated using a marbling technique which seems to be a bit popular at the moment I did several of theses before Christmas and sold loads at a local craft fair. I used Izink texture paste and a stencil from Imagination Crafts.

Another day and more stamps

Again the stamps are from Paperartsy this time the designer is Tracey Scott.  The background is what I call a messy pick up from my crafting Matt, I think it was Sparkle Pens this time and coloured on top with Clean Colour water colour pens. It’s a little grungy for me so a bit outside my comfort zone but I really like it.

Stamps from Paperartsy

Good morning hope you are all having a good Easter weekend. I am having a crafting weekend.

So here is the first card using EKC17 from Kay Carley I just used this stamp set for this card just lots of layers.

Firstly I used Distressed Oxides for the background using a Bauer and splashes of water. After that a lot of background stamping using Archival Ink in Leaf Green and Hydrangea. The final stamping is in black Versafine black and clear Embossing powder, some black and white pen work completes the design.

Hope you like my work would love to hear your comments.
