More coffee pot makes

Hello lovelies! Did you have a good day? I did and so did my little munchkins!!!! They're both still out at friends houses so I'm making hay while the sunshines!!!

I ran coffee pot today and we did our brushos makes - the technique went down well with the ladies and we made a few backgrounds each - here are mine with the card that i made ....

I tried a variety of colours this time - the colours definitely came through stronger with the glossy card! 

I used another visible image stamp and this time used brushos and water to create the background on the card.

Here's a closer look at the topper. fabulous stamp!

I hope you have a good evening - I'll be around to visit soon! Big hugs rachel xx

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!

Happy Birthday Mum!

Evening all! Thanks for your kind words on yesterdays card - I really do appreciate it! Have you had a good day? Mine's been good - I had a good run then took mum and dad to The Fenwick for lunch. It was lovely - my dad was quite amusing - he had 3 half pints of beer - I think he was a bit tipsy! He did make me and mum chuckle! Then I took them to a garden centre - they bought some pots and I bought an obelisk and a clematis - I'm hoping it will all look good. It was quite interesting trying to get it all into the car! lol!!!!

I want to show you the card I made for my mum today - its the brushos again - and paperartsy stamps. I do like this - the sentiment is chocolate baroque. I used versa mark and the white opaque wow powders to stamp the image - this was then heat set.

I used frantage to finish off too.

Here's a closer look.

I 3d'd the flowers to add a little more texture to the card.

I would like to enter this card into craftstamper take-it-make-it-challenge-june

Swimming, Crafting and flower arranging!

Hello Lovelies! How are you? I hope you're okay and have had a good day! I've had a beautiful time today - I went for a swim and practiced some of the things I was taught yesterday - then I went to my mum and dads and had a crafternoon - we played with brushos - and followed a project from this months craft stamper - lots of fun - I will do a simpler version with the coffee pot ladies on monday I think. Here's the results:

I am very excited with this one - I think the techniques are brilliant - just follow them in craft stamper!

The stamps are paperartsy - i used  versa mark, white embossing powder, brushos, frantage, alcohol pens. My mum really enjoyed this too - I think I'll try applying it to my own version - altho' the design is so beautiful I daresay I won't get such fabulous results! 

Tonight me and my girls did some flower arranging - well they did it really - I just cut the flowers. We have a festival happening in the village at the moment - Lord Roger Montbegon was one of the 25 barons involved in the signing of the magna carta 800 years ago and he lived in Hornby. The play the girls did on Saturday was part of it and there is a flower arranging competition tomorrow - so the girls wanted to join in! The theme is Hornby. This is what they did.

I'll let you know tomorrow how they get on - but I'm very pleased with what they have done! And they had such fun!

Hope you have a good evening - its running away from me today - will be around to visit after I have done another post - I've got news!!! More of that soon!

Big Hugs
