Coffee pot makes for Monday

Hello Lovelies! How are you? I hope you had a good Sunday - ours was brilliant! My little Penny made me very proud - she managed to gain her brown and white belt in Jujitsu... She's now on the same belt as Lucy - grading will be less frequent for them both from now on - Lucy won't be grading again until December - not sure if Penny will do that one - we'll have to wait and see.



Now I want to show you what I'll be doing with the ladies at coffee pot tomorrow - I've been playing with the brushos clingfilm technique from Craft Stamper but I've had to improvise a little bit - anyway this is what I made with it ..


The green background is the brushos bit - I don't have the perfect pearls that they talked about in the article so I used a micaceous gold spray and sprayed onto the crumpled clingfilm. Then added the brushos then added some white card and then wrapped the card in the clingfilm and left it to dry. I didn't have coated card stock either at this point but i have since got it and the brusho colours come up much brighter.


Once dry I added the stamping with the visible image stamp using versa mark and black wow powder.


You can see a little of the clingfilm texture in gold on this shot. I'm looking forward to seeing what the ladies come up with tomorrow.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

I'm off to look around your blogs now - looking forward to seeing what you've been up to!

Hugs

  9. Rachel, I'm sure you know how I love the brusho-s in anything, and this one is no exception. I saw Eileen G's video on the cling film, but have not tried it as yet. Looks like it worked beautifully for you, and yay for you on the improvisation. That splendid black butterfly against the pretty green, is very dramatic...and made a stunning card. TFS your little cutie in her working clothes. Congratulations to her on the milestone, and I'm sure both of you are so proud of her hard work. I'm so glad you have your girls to keep you busy and going forward. Kudos to you both! TFS & hope the upcoming week is fun for all of you. Hugs.

  16. Well done Penny. I love this gorgeous card Rachel and the brusho background. I bought brushos last year and put them away somewhere, so safe I can't find them. But I did buy some more at the papercraft show at Newbury on Saturday, so I'm hoping to have a play this week (if I get a chance between cuddles with Andrew).

    Hugs Sue xx

Quite an accomplishment! Your project for your coffee pot group today is so pretty. I love the green background and then the very artsy black butterfly stamp on top. Have a great day!
