Had a fantastic week away at a friend's house so not much time for crafting, but found time of course for our latest challenge at Bah! Humbug! This week our theme is 'Metallics'.
I decided to head for something I haven't used for a long time - Art Metal! I first used this stuff when I bought my Wizard machine many years ago and loved the way it embosses using brass stencils. Having said that although it embosses beautifully it can also be quite tricky to use because it also marks easily too, but I think it is worth the extra effort.
Additional materials used...
- gold metal brads
- papers by HOTP
- xyron design runner for the sentiment strip (again wow that's 3 times now - could this be worth the investment?)
- snowflake die cut using Marianne die
- cream organza ribbon and lace
- green embossed card and cream pearlescent paper
Additional challenges...
- Charisma Card Challenges - Use diecuts (my snowflake)
- Crafty Purple Frog - Green projects
- Delightful Challenges - Show us some green
- The Pixie Dust Studio - Go Green
- Crafty Hazel's Challenge - Go for Gold
Have a fabulous weekend everyone. I'm going to a craft day with Claire of Molly Bloom stamps so I am sooooooooooooooooooo excited. Hopefully I'll be able to show my makes on Sunday, but don't hold your breath as I've heard we're using Aqua markers and that will be completely new to me and probably a disaster, but we'll see.
Love and hugs
