Creative Artiste - Anything Goes - Sponsor Foilplay

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

The weekend is here. I am so glad that week is over. We are seeing our daughter in her new house tomorrow and helping with a few jobs which will mean that the bunnies can go home the week after.

The new challenge starts today on the Creative Artiste Challenge blog the theme is Anything Goes and the sponsor for U.K residents is Foilplay.

For this challenge I created another wedding frame that was a gift for the wedding we went to back in October.

The frame came from The Range they have a good stock of frames at very reasonable prices. The backing paper I have had in my stash for a while. This is the third frame I have made from the same two sets of tiles and this one was a struggle. We only had one R left .It is surprising how many words to do with weddings have Rs in them.   My husband helped me to sort out the words for the Crossword. We did try many combinations. 

There was a space in the corner so I cut the Sue Wilson Mr and Mrs die in black and silver for that space. 

Here is the wedding party. The bride is a work collegaue of my husband. The really weird thing is that one of my work colleagues was there because her partner knew the bride. We had no idea we would be at the same evernt until we got there. 

I was told afterwards that the happy couple were very pleased with this frame. 

I would like to enter Challenge 450 at the Cute Card Thursday Challenge blog and Challenge 223 at the Brown Sugar Challenge blog. 

Happy Crafting

Creative Artiste - Wedding Gift

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How has your week been? It is nearly the weekend not long to go now. Like on Tuesday this is the first of two posts for me today, again the start of two challenges has coincided.

This post is for the new challenge that starts on the Creative Artiste Challenge Blog. The theme is "Anything Goes" with a twist of using chipboard. The sponsor is Scrapmatts.  I have just come back after having a two month break the team were very understanding when my husband had his accident and things just got a bit too much for me. Things have improved greatly at home and I am in a much better place.

I am sharing a gift I have made for the couple that I have been  making the wedding stationery for.

I wanted to make something like this after we went to their house and discovered that they had fridge Scrabble. I used an 8" x 8" shadow box frame.  The background was made to match the wedding invitations. I used my Gelli plate to mix and print three shades of Distress ink. Once it was dry I used a mask to ink through with silver to make the netting pattern.  

I bought two lots of letter tiles so that we had lots to play with. We had fun planning out the words my husband helped me. You could make something like this for any occasion just by changing the words and the colours. 

This shows the detail of the background a bit more clearly. 

The wedding is on Easter Saturday. I still have a few things to make. We are having one last meeting to go over what I need to do. 

I hope you have a great weekend. We are off to Reading for one night. 

Happy Crafting
