Sir Stampalot Challenge

I almost forgot the post this card and mention the fabulous competition over at the Sir Stampalot Challenge Blog. The deadline is 12 o'clock lunchtime on 28th April, so I'm sliding in under the wire with this one.
The theme of the challenge is Fantasies for you to interpret how you wish. Fairies, pixies, goblins elves all popped into my mind and I immediatly thought of this stamp. My best friends son and partner have just had a little girl, they are so happy the waiting is now over, this also made me think of this stamp. a little elf waiting.
It was stamped and embossed with black ink and black embossing powder, then glitzed with pink and lilac glimmer mists. I masked the moon so it didn't get glitzed, then added some glossy accents to make it shine, dropping a purple gem over the end of the swirl. The rest is self explanatory. Phew! just in time.

Don't forget you only have until Friday to enter the Craftwork Cards Card Candy Challenge, there's a great prize on offer there as well.

Hi Kathy

This is just stunning, you have created a wonderful ethereal feel with the GM's and other attention to detail.

This stgamp was one of the first I bought many years ago from QVC, it came with another fairy one and I want hunt them down again now. You sort of forget stamps until you get a subtle reminder.

Thank you for sharing with us at Stampalot and good luck.

Welcome to the UKS Spring BlogHop! I hope you are all enjoying some lovely spring weather. You may have come to me from JimJams blog and her stunning mini book. If you lose your way, or have dropped in on me directly and want to follow the hop, you can see the full list with all the links here . ETA Remember to comment on each blog and then go back to UKS and comment there to be in with a chance of winning a £25 voucher, I am offering a vine for commetners on this blog. It is important that you include your UKScrappers name in your comment.   I have created a page with some handmade flowers, I was inspired by the beautiful Prima branches, as usual I looked at them and thought I bet I could make those. This was my first attempt and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Also on the layout you should spot a lovely voile flower, some tiny pearl flowers and a couple of blossoms made from scallop circle punches. Although the bought flowersand vines are beautiful if you need to use

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout.  Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking.  I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic.   Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip. I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued

Vine Tutorial

On Monday morning I took part in the UKScrappers blog hop , who would have predicted the response to the flowers I had made for the layout. In particular the rose vine. I was flabbergasted, but promised I would let everybody know how I had done it. If anybody does make one of these vines please could you credit me and if posted in a blog I would appreciate a link back to me. I was absolutely inspired by the gorgeous Prima vines , I have purchased many but due to the cost they remain in my stash, I am too frightened to use them because they are not cheap. They fall into the category of  'waiting for a special projrect'. This made me challenge myself to see if i could make something similar.  Firstly you will need to gather your supplies Florist wires florist paper tape paper flowers - they need to have a 'tail' on them, I used these card stock to make leaves either a leaf punch or die to cut leaves, I used these distress ink   Cut as many leaves as you
