New release from Crafty sentiments tutorial and not a card challenge at Crafty sentiments

Good morning folks - You'll be glad to know that most of my jobs for yesterday got done - but I did skip the library visit - will do that today!!! I just renewed over the phone - lol!!!!

Its a double post here for you today - its my turn on the Inspirations blog over at craftysentimentsinspirations and I'm doing a tutorial for one of the new images. Here's what I'm making:


 I started with a hanger from everycrafts a pound and gave it a coat of pebeo acrylic paint. Then using a mask from Imagination Crafts and some distress ink I created the diamond background on top  of the paint.

 After that I coloured my stamped image with promarkers and cut it out. Once cut out added this to the hanger along with the words stamped using clarity alphabet and box stamps.

Such a useful item for us to use at home - and I suspect my girlies will need one of their own for when they're older!

The second project I've got to show you today is from my challenge that starts at craftysentiments today - the theme is Anything but a card - and I made a picture and frame for my girlies bedroom:

The frame is a box frame that came as a bargain from the Joanna sheen site - I've just painted and decorated it and made the internal picture using Crafty Sentiments stamps available here. The mermaids tails I've done using fantasy film and fibre and decoupaged them up on the image.

Hoping you'll be able to join us at Crafty sentiments for the challenge this time - here's the link so you can check out what everybody did! craftysentiments

    Great projects, your right about the door hanger and your girls. Anna put a note on her door the other day saying" keep out I love the mess". Oh how I'd forgotten what 11yr old to get like.
