WOYWW #256 : What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday

Hi Bloggies another week on my desk and desks throughout the world, brought to you by our host Julia at the Stamping Ground.

And this is my desk today.
Not much change there, just enough space to work, well! how much space do you need lol!

Been working on a Paper Mache letter.

Other than that you can see the usual collection of craft equipment, like, glue/glues, trays for embossing, baby wipes, embossing ink pad, heat resistant mat, double sided tape, dies, ink pads, acrylic blocks, you've seen it all before probably on hundreds of desks. These are things we cannot manage without.

 

And so to the project for this week.

After covering the letter with gesso, I painted it all over with EcoGreen Raspberry acrylic paint and then added crackle glaze and allowed it to dry.

 

 

Next add the top coat in this case Sand and watch the magic happen!

I can't help it I still love to see the cracking appear lol!

 

Gorgeous effect.

 

Decided to cut out and attach stars for the back.

 

 

And then started stamping the flowers, 'Punky Flowers' by Chocolate Baroque, first on cream card.

 

This is a paper I made some weeks earlier using the Gelli Plate.

I stamped the flowers here too.

 

I stamped some of the flowers directly onto the letter, cut out some of the flowers from the patterned paper and attached them to the stamped images.

And this is where I am at the moment.

Will post the completed letter tomorrow.

 

Hope you will pop over to some of the other workdesks as I am sure they will have exciting things on the go.

 

Happy Crafting,

Masterboard Monday.

Monday again  Bloggerettes  and hope you have  had a pleasant weekend.
We went to Heckington Show on Sunday which is now the largest village show in the country. Lovely day!

I have used Chocolate Baroque stamps, Punky Flowers and Steampunk Butterfly to make this Masterboard.

 

Masterboard Sheets - Still lots to do before it's finished.

 

Just thought you might like to see the start of this Masterboard though you will have to wait a few days to see the finished piece.I have included a close-up of the paper below, the colours are really nice, well I like them lol! I made this by stamping the ink pad directly onto the craft mat and spritzing with water then swiping the card across it.

This is part of an envelope journal that my friend and I are making.
We have been doing this for some months now and it is almost finished.
We usually choose a project and swap part of it each month.

If you are interested I could post some other envelope pages which I have already finished.
I have still not decided what will be the best way of joining them and completing the journal, so if you have any ideas please let me know.
