Skinny Vases

Hi All
Back to 'normal' at last after a fabulous, if tiring few days in Yorkshire for the Woodware Retailers Training Days.
We were thoroughly well fed and watered, in fact I have eaten far too well so diet and exercise had better start now!!

My card tonight is from my class on Monday where they all got to play with the fabulous new Mix'd Media inks. I made them try some embossed resist to create their own 'background paper' which surprised a few of them.

They also got to try the inks out on metal and the Burlap squares,

The stamp we used was Francoise Skinny Vase, and as you can see I had to make my samples in several different colourways.

One of the ladies, Scrappyjen, only does Scrapbooking so this was her take on my card, as a Scrapbook page. Unfortunately the light wasn't terribly good.

I travelled home from Skipton on the train with Francoise, and we have been talking new stamp designs already, so I think that I had better get on top of everything so I am ready for sample making.
But before that I need to catch up on some sleep, I never sleep very well when I am away, and you don't realise how tired you are until you sit down for a few moments lol.

Woodware and Dreamweaver Christmas in August Bloghop

Hi All
Today it is my turn to join in with the Annual Dreamweaver and Woodware Christmas in August Extravaganza week.

Monday through Saturday we will be knocking your Christmas stockings off with fun and inspirational ideas for the upcoming holidays. All that you need to do is hop back and forth across the "pond" on each day, oohing and aaahhhing as you go, and leaving us plenty of holiday love. In return, you'll be entered to randomly win one prize package for a UK commenter, and a second prize package for a US commenter, featuring products distributed in the UK by Woodware...including Dreamweaver and Stampendous! 

Prize includes four stencils, one die, and two stamps, selection may vary.

Here is what I created.

I tried using the Dreamweaver pastes for my central panel, but I obviously need some private tuition from the lovely Lynell as it kept bleeding underneath the stencil so I went back to the good old Cuttlebug option.

I stamped and embossed JGS178 Poinsettia Flourish onto white card stock and then ran the card through the Cuttlebug using the Dreamweaver Merry Christmas stencil.

I have also been playing with the new Mix'd Media inks which is what I have used to add colour to the trimmed panel using Stencil brushes.

The sparkle was added by covering the entire panel with Crystal Embossing powder. I also added some hand drawn lines using a Micron pen.

The gingham paper has been stamped, embossed and coloured using the Mix'd Media Inx.

The main background panel has been stamped and embossed in white and then sponged with Patina inx. I wiped off the excess with a damp paper towel and then painted the images using the same Inx

Now is the time for you to leave a comment and move on to the next designer for today:
