Hi & welcome to my blog page.I have just made this for my grandson's & really enjoyed doing it. I took an impression of their footprints using air drying clay which i lightly dusted with pastel blending chalk. I used a Katy Sue design mould & clay to make the embellishments & painted them with acrylic paint then fixed to a 'washing line'. After i backed the pic with polka dot card i wrote a little message(using word), printed out then cut & affixed with foam pads. I think it'll make a nice keepsake. x

Hi everyone, a new Glitternsparkle challenge 133, theme anything but a card.  I made this for my nieces' lilac & pink themed wedding in June. Our sponsor is Sami Stamps & the image is Spring Branch. I printed, coloured (using Promarkers & Wink of Stella, clear shimmer) then handcut the image several times to adorn the trelliswork of the gazebo which was cut using a Silhouette Cameo. I made 3 box shapes, covered them in lace & stacked them to resemble a wedding cake which I decorated with lilac & pink leaves, flowers & pearls.I added matching flowers on the roof with curled ribbons running down to cherubs, which I outlined in lilac ink & Wink of Stella(clear shimmer). I made a matching tag with hearts & wedding day embossed on white shimmer layered onto linen card. I added matching lilac sparkly ribbon around the base to disguise the join. It took a while to make but I enjoyed making it & that's what, for me, crafting is all about. Happy crafting x
