Welcome to my blog!

From x stitch I moved into card making - now I am playing around with mixed media! I am taking part in different workshops and with help from crafty pals, learning about different mediums and techniques. Hope you feel inspired to create after a visit to my blog - Happy Crafting!

Minibook

Over on the Craftbubble Forum, Clare has set up an exchange over summer called the Little Things. We alter little things and swap them in a  small box/altered matchbook at the end.

The first Challenge was to make a minibook. I followed Clare's tutorial and this is the finished book.


They are made with Tim Holtz's alphabet cards covered with acrylic paint.


I overstamped with a crackle stamp then used a flower stamp and embossed in white embossing powder. I then added small beads to the flowers.


Ribbons and bead were added to the jumprings for decoration.

I am enjoying exploring mixed media and have completed another Journal page on Clare's tutorials - From Cardmaking to Art Journalling (lesson 5)

Hope your week is going well!


I am entering this card into the following challenges;

Divas by Design - Anything Goes
Crafts and Me - Anything Goes
Top Tip Tuesday - Spooled Items
Make it Monday - Linky Party
One Stop Craft Challenge - Make your own Background
Simply Create Too - Anything but a card
