Masterboard Monday

A big welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Blogbuddies been busy recently with yet more Masterboards and different ways to create the designs. 
This week I have been looking at texture for this Masterboard.
I started by ripping up some pieces of the Tim Holtz tissue paper then wrinkling and attaching it to an A3 piece of cartridge paper.
Next I added watered down acrylic paint through various stencils to add colour and some detail.

 

I completed it by stamping the watch images and some Gesso through a text stencil.
I did not want this coloured so left it white but rubbed over a little gilding wax and buffed it up and that's it really.
I shall be sending this off to Gloria and we shall see what she does with it in a few weeks time.

      This is the stamp used.

 

 

Hope you like this Masterboard design, I think I may well make more like this to use myself.

 

This does have lots of surface texture so it will be interesting to see how you can use it on different projects.

 

Back soon,

Hi Blog Buddies,  I can hardly believe that 27th June, is the anniversary of the day I started Blogging.

I very much want to thank those people who have supported me and all those who have visited my blog, joined my followers and left such kind comments.
These are the gifts you have given me so now I would like to give you something in return, a small token of my appreciation.
I am just sorry I am unable to give you all something.

After much thought I decided to giveaway one of my mini journals.

It will look something like the one below though I will make it specially for this giveaway.
If you would like to see more images of this journal and details of how to join in with the giveaway, please click on the Blogiversary page above or just leave a comment below.

 

 Happy crafting,

The Adventures of BP Mini Me.

Hi to you all, BP here.
I seem to have been on my shelf for ages and although it's nice and safe, I AM BORED AGAIN!!!

It's also been very hot up here, it could be this metal jacket but as I am wearing nothing but my plastic underclothes I cannot take it off.
It's no good I will have to go walkabout again LOL!

Hello! Another bird!
She'll be giving me wings next LOL!
So you're the one she was working on, love the hat.

Cheep......! Cheep! Cheep!

WOW! LOL! it talks.

I am pleased to meet you BP. I didn't think anyone was going to speak to me they all seem busy doing their own thing.

Don't worry bird, I've been here for a while now so I'll put you straight on anything you're not sure about. Do you have a name?

I don't think so perhaps someone could give me a name, I would really like one.
She refers to me as Blue Bird but maybe someone could think of something better?

We definitely need to give this some thought, maybe someone else could help too? 

Off to think about names, if anyone out there has an idea do let us know.

Bye for now,

BP Mini Me xxx

Wedding Card Update

A big welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

So many people have asked to see this card when complete, so here it is Blog Buddies.

Such a pretty card will probably surprise those who know me but I can make them when I have to.
Quite enjoyed making it actually LOL!

 

As you can see it is an easel card.

 

These are the dies used.

 

So there you are!

Hope you enjoyed looking.

 

Back soon.

Happy crafting,

WOYWW 268 # What's On Your Wordesk Wednesday.

A big welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends.

Angela here to show you "what's on my work desk this Wednesday"(WOYWW) and if you visit Julia you will have access to desks throughout the world, so hope you will hop over to the Stamping Ground and all will be revealed.

And here is my desk offering for this week.

I have been tidying up though you probably can't tell there is much difference......

 

 

until you look at the next picture, everything back to normal now LOL!

I have had an unexpected request for a wedding card on Sunday so my other jobs have had to stop for a short time.

 

The request was for something cream with pearls.

 

 

 

 Anyway it's quite a short post today, must get on but hope you like the card so far and will post the completed project later in the week.

 

Happy crafting,

Masterboard Monday

A big welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Blogging Friends  here to show you a card that I made using one of my Masterboards.

First the stamps:
Hampton Art, diffusion.

 

And here is the Masterboard.

 

 

 

 

You may remember seeing this background before because I have already used this Clarity stencil for other projects.

I just love it LOL!

 

 

 

 

 

 I used the Big and Juicy MOUNTAIN MEADOW ink pad to stamp with.
Some images were stamped straight from the pad and some where second or third pushes to vary the depth of colour.

 

I then set about cutting out the sections to mat and layer parts of the design.

 

 

 Added Stickles glue to the flowers for that all important sparkle.

 

And here is the finished card.

 

 

To complete it I added gilding flakes around the edge of the topper, stamped the moths again and attached them to the card along the body section.

I also added ribbon, gems and an insert which I stamped with the moths.

 

Here is a close-up showing the added moths.

 

I have sent a copy of this Masterboard to my friend Gloria and it will be interesting to see how she uses it.

 

That's all for now.

Back soon and happy crafting,
