More cards using Magic Mica

So I now have the other set of Craft Artist Magic Mica Pallette Summer Hues. Here are some ideas. Firstly using an embossing folder and the other two are using the new Woodware Hummingbird Stamp. One I put the colour down first then used an antic static bag and the stamped with black versafine and clear embossing powder, but some of the embossing powder carried over to the mica but I like the effect. Then I tried stamping and embossed first and added colour after, the embossing dulled a little, so I polished off a little and it is fine I do like experimenting!!!

Apologies and Magic Mica

Ok so I have been a bad blogger but will try harder, I know I have said that before!!

Anyway this week I purchased a set of Craft Artist Magic Mica, I got the Autumn Hues. They certainly are magic!! Really easy to use and give a lovely effect. Here are a few ideas.

The first three are using woodware stamps and the final pic which is not finished uses an embossing folder and vellum.

Mixed Media Workshop

I have now completed my samples for my next workshop on 20 April. On this one we will be using a wooden plaque, Paperartsy paints, stamps, clean colour watercolours, versaclair Inks and more.

Bottle make over

Last week we had a workshop at Keep on Crafting where I showed the ladies how to transform a wine bottle into a piece of art. We started by attaching rice paper to the back of the bottle, then adding a coat or two of Paperartsy paints. Leaving a space on the front to enable you to see through. We then added more rice paper and pearl paper or glitter paper then a coat of Mod Podge. The front is then decorated with buttons or string. Two pictures show a wine bottle with a nautical theme and a gin bottle with a more floral theme.

Lavinia Stamps

I recent started using Lavinia stamps not all fairies but lots of lovely designs here are a few of my recent makes.

Woodware stamps

Bad blogger will try harder.

To start off again here are some samples using the new Woodware stamps and clean colour pens.

3D Embossing Folders in a different way!

I recently watched Julia Watts using a gelli plate to do this, so thought I would have a go using the John Lockwood media plates and it works. Place the media plate on your craft mat and ink with Distressed Oxides using a brayer and then press the Embossing folder on top, remove and now place a piece of card on to the media plate. The result is a lovely distressed background. The sample below I finished off with s few stamps and a sentiment from Woodware stamps.
