Crafty Emblies DT Projects for April

Hi all

Just back from a lovely week in Norway visiting Vikkie and Pete. Spent time just chillin out, doing a bit of shopping and some crafting. Got very into a series on Netflix while I was there called White Collar, but I will get ,more into the holiday news on my next blog post.

Main point of todays blog is to share my design team projects for Crafty Emblies for this month. There have been changes to the DT and now there are no themes for each month which is good as it doesnt limit to you what to make.

I made 2 projects this month again,  the first being for the papercrafting DT. I decided to make a journal and decorate the cover with some emblies.

 

 

 



I used the emblies birdcage, which I painted with white gesso and then embossed and also a couple of wooden emblies heart which I also painted inked and embossed.

The 2nd project was an altered canvas ...

 

 

 

I covered the canvas with paper. I stamped onto a paper napkin and layered that on top, with pieces of corrugated cardboard and some clock faces cut from a paper pack. I added cardboard trees, a clock face and a clock with wings all from Crafty Emblies. Then finished off the whole thing with paper flowers and a piece of chain.

 

Hope you will all stop by the Crafty Emblies blog and enter a project of your own, as I said "anything goes" and you may very well win a lovely prize of emblies goodies.

Happy Crafting

9.15 and chillin in bed ........ Ahhhhhh

Morning all, thought I would write up my blog post from the coziness of my bed today. Yesterday was a lovely sunny day and I spent a good portion of it pottering in the garden which was nice to get some sun. Not sure if today is going to be such a springlike day unfortunately :(

Last post I shared my altered chest of drawers for the Crafty Assembly challenge and I was delighted to be picked as the winner. I got to choose the theme for the next challenge and chose "anything with lace" so this is the canvas I came up with.

 



I stamped a background onto material using a stamp set by 7gypsies then stuck down an image from a paper napkin which is back onto paper and distressed with ink. I used lace and doilies, some bling and IAMRoses flowers and one of the lovely birdcages produced by Crafty Emblies http://www.crafty-emblies.org/

The challenge today is "Masculine" so that will def be a challenge for me but I will give it a go. Iona is home for Easter break so I am having to share my time in her bedroom with her lol so not so much time devoted to crafting unfortunately :(

Anyway I supposed I should scrape myself out of bed and get organised.
Hope you all have a great day
