Every thing is in boxes!

Hi All, not much crafting going on over the passed couple of weeks or will there be for the next few! Everything had to be boxed and moved now in a much smaller place in the new house. The craft room is packed to the gunals with boxes , I think it will take some time to unpack, find and sort then find space for it all. Sadly I might have to do some rationalising ! Help. I find getting rid of things very difficult as those who kindly helped me move will testerfy ! 

Watch this space, normal service will resume soon!

To keep you all going , here is the bird house I did for my sister at Christmas which she loved and the gift for Joan my mother in law. The Deer head came free with a magazine but with the addition of a 6'x6' MDF back board I was pleased with the results as was she!

Busy Weekend Crafting!

Been keeping myself busy this weekend at the lovely Nina's  It's Crafting Time .I did a class with Hels Sheridan yesterday making a fun painted heart frame. Today I spent the day with Clare Charvill making a lovely box as a birthday present for a very special lady who has a birthday in a couple of days!

Fabulous Day Crafting with Hel's Sheridan

Back ground , made by dabbing distress ink on to craft mat and spraying with water and wiping the card through it. Then by holding the card parole to mat and tapping it into  droplets left on the mat to produce the blobs.

Using stencils and distress ink and water through them to produce more patterning. Then the edge is distressed with walnut stain.

Then stamped flourishes are added to complete the back ground.

  We then had a go at water bleaching using a stamp wet stamp on top of distressed inks

My finished piece was very pleasing I think once bits and bobs we added along with a distressed coloured tim Holtz new butterfly stamp which we decoupage.
