My first Bombshell

2011-08-19T08:33:00.000+01:00

My gorgeous new Bomshell stamps arrived couple days ago and how chuffed was i?

These stamps are just so gorgeous! I think this might have to be my fav ~ but then its so hard to choose as they are all really gorgeous.

I had this book~designed the paper for the front and covered it, stamped it (missed few bits! so had to improvise with gems and the roses!) The main image i crackled and stamped over, then coloured it and glazed, added some flowers to her shawl and that's about it. Was pretty pleased how it came out tho!

Closer shot of the image...

Hope to see you again soon

He launches on Ideal World on the 24th May at 9pm as the Pick of the Day, so set your timers and sit down with a cuppa and be ready to be inspired by all the gorgeous projects the design team have put together. I haven't made any samples for this unfortunately, as i've been really busy with other stuff, so looking forward to seeing all the fab work the rest of the DT have come up with.

For more info and lots of sneak peeks up to the launch go over to the Crafters Companion blog for all the gorgeous samples by the team.

March Downloads of the Month

2011-03-08T07:55:00.000Z

I can't believe it's March already! where is the year going? With that said, Mother's day is on its way, so i wanted to create something special for a very special woman. Not sure yet which one of these i'm going to give to my mum, but know she will be pleased with any of them.

I wanted to create something grungy and pretty, so that's why i designed the papers and embellishments that way. I also added some faux stitching just for that something extra, but it looks kind good, so was pleased with that effect.

If you want to get your hands on this FREE set of papers and embellishments, click on THIS link and log onto Crafter's Companion, Downloads of the Month to get yours.

Enjoy
