More repeat stamping and a wine glass

Hello there! How are you this morning? I hope you are well and happy! I've got a busy day today - its thinking day celebrations part 1 today so I have to be down at church with the rainbows. Then its Penny's party at tea time - let's just say I'll be happy when its done - I'll be having a glass of wine tonight for sure!

We had a great Saturday - we all went swimming - I managed to do 26 lengths this time - every little helps. Then we spent the afternoon in Kendal Museum. It was lovely - really enjoyed that.

Today I've got two things to show you - first up is a card made using the Mackintosh Beauties from Chocolate Baroque.


The background was made using one of the smaller stamps from the set - I did repeat stamping in versa mark all over the back and heat set with clear embossing powder. Then I used worn lipstick, bundled sage, milled lavender distress inks to ink over the stamped images. I added some victorian corners from Creative expressions. 


I stamped the lady in versa and heatset with black opaque wow powders. I used spectrum noirs to colour her in the fussy cut and mounted on to a piece of card cut with a die. Then I added the lace around the outside - this came from Crafty Individuals. Then I added the TH adage ticket.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Craft Stampercraftstamper - Repeat Stamping
Allsorts Challenge Blogallsortschallenge - Ladies Day
simon says stampsimonsaysstampblog: wedding/anniversary

The second piece I wanted to show you is a glass I have stamped with versamark and heat set with red glitter wow powders.



Very simple to do but very hard to photograph.

I'd like to enter this into the Wow Powders wowembossingpowderChallenge this month which is Glass.

Thats all for today - please forgive me if I'm late reaching out to you tomorrow - I'll get there eventually!

Big Hugs and Happy Crafting!

Rachel xx

  4. A lovely feminine card with the lady and roses Rachel and the glass looks great, I would never have thought heat embossing would work on glass so something else to try.

    Thanks for joining in at Allsorts this week.
