Fruity!

Hi Crafters,

The weather has certainly changed in this neck of the woods. Yesterday was rather chilly compared to recent days and then there was the rain! With the nights drawing in now too I think we are heading towards Autumn a little soon for my liking.

Never mind, it's warm in my craft room and I've been busy making as usual.

Recipe

Italian Grapevines Stamps and Dies from Heartfelt Creations

Distress Oxide Inks

Sentiment and Background Stamp - Honey Doo Crafts

I began by creating an inky background using Distress Oxides and splashed a little water on for the mottled effect. I then stamped the bunch of grapes on my background using the same colour Distress Oxide ink. After stamping and die cutting the Heartfelt Creations grapes and vines I coloured these with inks too and added a little white pen for the shine on the grapes.

How wonderful to reach 60 years together, somehow I don't think hubby and I will make this milestone anniversary - it's our second marriage and by my calculations I will be 96 and my hubby 102!  :o)  but hey, you never know.

Vellum Flowers

Hi Crafters,

A quick share with you today of my card using the gorgeous Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur stamp set. I have stamped and embossed the flowers and leaves with white embossing powder on vellum and coloured the back of the vellum to give subtle tones of yellow and green.
