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 - Heart Wall Hanging

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you have had a good week and are ready for the weekend. Today we will be travelling back from our short break. I hope that the traffic is kind to us.

Being the first Friday of the month there is a new challenge starting on the Creative Artiste Challenge blog and the theme this time is Anything Goes. Our sponsor this time is Foilplay.

I decided to decorate a small heart wall hanging. I started by painting the heart with white Gesso. I gave it a couple of hearts. When it was dry I used some decoupage glue to attach some tissue paper. I attached it as one piece and I was so pleased that I had used the Gesso on the wood as it really showed up the design on the tissue paper. I sanded the edges of the shape to remove the excess tissue. 

As I said at the top of this post Foilplay is the sponsor this month if you click on the logo you will be taken to their store. It is worth checking out they stock a lot of well known brands. 

I used a Dreamees stamp for the sentiment I stamped it in read to match the ribbon (which came with the heart). I cut it out with the centre die from one of my Sue Wilson die sets. All the flowers I had in my stash it was nice to have a project to use them on I attached them with a gell glue. The final touch was to add some lace around the edge of the heart. 

Here is the heart in place hanging in my lounge. I was really pleased with how this turned out and I enjoyed making it.
