More Yummy for your tummy

Hello and good evening, if you're like me you like to have a little something sweet after your tea what would you go for?  Would it be a chocolate dessert or a sticky toffee pudding?

Well, I've been trying to steer away from this kind of things, and I found that a scoop of ice cream does the trick to cure the sweet tooth. This stamp set from Concorde and ninth really makes my mouth water, with all the components to make yourself a really yummy dessert.

Heres the scoop stamp set from Concorde and ninth

 And as usual here's a close-up

 I stamped the image using Memento ink as I was going to color with Copic markers, and I figured if I was going to have three scoops it has to be Neopolitan, pinks, browns, and yellows.

the papers I used were some old Stampin up papers that I really love, and I finished off by stamping the main sentiment from the set in white embossing powder.

Hope you like it

I often think that too much craft stash can be a bad thing, although I have bought with good intention on using it straight away then something crops up with the mini-me and I get totally sidetracked in her drama.

But good crafting comes to those who wait and I am always relieved when I get to stand at my desk to craft.

I found this technique on youtube called inlaid die cut words.  If you search Jennifer Mcguire she has some brilliant tutorials on how to do this. I made this one for my Husbands birthday last week as it wasn't too feminine or too masculine, it was just right as we had only just got married two weeks before so it's his first card as a married man, but to be honest I do make him cards all the time just because.

There are so many tutorials on youtube and I find this a great resource when I get crafters block.

What I would like to do is to get back into using ribbon and gems and buttons and other embellishments as the new products that are coming out now only seem to require sequins or liquid drops. It's hard not to want to cram everything onto one card but I do like simplicity also just like the card above, all it needed was some wink of Stella and that's that.

Well that's enough from me but I do have a backlog of blogs so you may see me later

Hello again

Its High time I stopped procrastinating and started using the things that i make and put to one side, ha ha i do like to do my own head in sometimes but when you have a creativity block, just make mundane things and put to one side till you are ready to make something, anything.

I had made these plaster faces a long time ago i was planning to use them for my Final piece for third year degree and i never did but i found them and decided to use them to make brooches, a bit of black acrylic paint and some guilding wax and a top coat of gloss

And here we have it a vintage looking brooch fit for any of your very stylish jacket

I hope you like it xx
