Wish Upon a 'Star'.

Hello and Welcome to my post for

Just Us Girls 
Hosting our Trend Week is

Carol choosing a Celestial Theme.

I do love the results you get with Lindy's Magicals

 as they make spectacular backgrounds and this

is what I used here.

After I got the result I liked I inked up

trees from Repeat Impressions  with 

Tim's Black Soot. Splattered some twinkling stars

with iridescent medium. The hill was die cut and 

coloured with Starlight Black Wax.

Attached in front of the trees. 

Added some glittery punched stars and sentiment

cut twice from ARTplorations.

The front die has been heat embossed 

with metallic silver powder with the white

 one added for a shadow effect.

Finished by attaching to navy card base.

Pop over and see what our Guest Linda

and the Design Team created.

Love to see you in the Gallery this week.

Thanks for popping in.

It's 'Enchanting'

Hello and Welcome to today's post for

Happy Little Stampers

It's time for our Anything Goes with Dies Challenge.

I recently received this gorgeous 

CUTplorations Butterfly-Cover-Plate-Die 

and was itching to try it out.

I decided to use a piece of Yupo Paper

that I inked up with Alcohol Inks as it was thin

and hoped it would cut nicely in my old Cuttlebug.

It did take some cutting and even after several attempts

there was a teeny bit I cut with some fine point scissors.

I know I NEED a new die cutting machine just don't know

which way to go!

I put some Tombow glue on my craft mat and

sponged the back of the die and adhered it to

 metallic card stock.

All I needed to do now was add a sentiment and I chose

CUTploations Enchanting-Word-Die in white.

Pop over and see what die cuts my Team Mates used

and join us in the Gallery this month.

I'm 'Metal'ie Thinking of You.

Hello and Welcome.

I am finally getting back to normal after my

recent Birthday Celebrations.

 Today I am posting for the New Challenge

 over at CAS Mix Up where my
 Super Talented Good Friend

MacMable is Host choosing

Here is my first take on this challenge

(yes there will be more)

My Mix is Metal, Stamping

Heat Embossing and more...

I started by cutting out my background from

Uniquely Creative Cross Hatch Texture Die

Heat embossing with Stampendous 

Aged Copper Embossing Enamel

(don't you love the 2 toned colours)

You need to heat emboss from underneath
otherwise the enamel will fly off somewhere else

I then cut 2 dies from Tim's Wildflowers.

These were heat embossed differently with

Stampendous Chunky White and Aged Copper

also adding Cyan Pearl Pigment Powder

while still melting. I did have a bit of trouble

with the white trying to hang on to the thin stems

while heating from the bottom.

Here's a close up!

My background is lightly sponged with

Ken Oliver's Liquid Copper Powder.

I distressed the edges and inked with Versacolor Bronze

I then attached the Cross Hatch Die and flowers.

Inked my sentiment from 49ANDMarket.

Attached a tiny die cut bow from Waffle Flower

and finished by adhering to white card base. 

Thanks so much for dropping in.
