More Winged Things Design pieces

 I've had a play with a couple of ideas for the current 'Winged Things' theme over at Crafty Individuals.  The card above is very simple and uses an acetate overlay which has the beautiful butterflies mounted on pads over the acetate.  It was coloured with chalks for a subtle finish and a bit of stickles was added to the corners.

 I received a copy of the dreamy 'shades of summer' paper pad recently and decided that they were SOOOOOOOOOOOO gorgeous I needed to use the whole pages to create something.

 Still on the winged things theme I created a tryptich type wall plaque as below....

 I added an extra cage and raised it on pads for interest

 corrugated hearts and paper roses

 and 'Home Sweet Home' as a title onto a Marianne die

Here's the complete plaque.

I have lots of lovely new Crafty Individuals stamps to play with so hope to be back with more soon.

Crafty Individuals October Challenge 'Winged Things'

The theme for the Crafty Individuals October Challenge is 'Winged Things' I have had SOOOO much fun creating my DT piece.

I decided to use angels as my 'winged things' as seen on the plaque above. Made form grey board, painted with acrylics and over stamped with Crafty Individuals 'script' stamp.

I kept the colours very pale and muted to suit the angels theme,

and used a selection of slide mounts to hold the beautiful CI angel images

along some book plates to embellish the CI sentiments.

I have another piece half finished using the gorgeous pages from the new 'Shades of Summer' paper pad. They are just so gorgeous in their own right I had to leave them as full pages. Hope to get in completed very soon.

I have been very busy teaching Christmas card classes at Grimsby Crafts recently and here are a few little snippets for you. Acetate,

die cutting, pretty papers,

background techniques, embossing, distressing,

wax rubs, stickles,

stamping,

glitter and lace......

It seemed really strange to be creating these cards on some of the hottest days of the year... very strange indeed.
