That's Crafty Reveal.

Happy Sunday Everyone,

It's been a very wet and windy weekend in the midlands. 

I hope you are all keeping well and treating yourself to a relaxing day 

or maybe spending your day with family or friends?

This post is a reveal of the latest That's Crafty products

including stamps, stencils and new mediums.

There's lots to see.. so please enjoy.

Created by playing with Flat Matte Sprays and the Dianthus stencil and masks, 

I painted, spritzed and lifted the ink off. This piece was just a test piece that was 

far to nice to discard. With one of Lynne's new Affirmations it made a pretty card.

Onto a greyboard Long Tag that i'd scraped with Gold interference paint I added 

water to the Walnut Crystals and used it as paint letting creativity be my guide.

Edged with a fine liner pen dots of multi surface paint create an Autumnal scene.

Using the Dragonfly and Lace Doily Stencils in different ways.

Running the dragonfly mask on black card through the sizzix big shot plus.

I clear embossed those raised areas and painted the debossed Dragonfly with blue

 and green interference paint the embossing helped keep it all within the lines.

Glued onto a long tag adding gem stone eyes & a fitting affirmation completes the design.

Painting first with Gesso, Texture paste was pushed through the 

Lace Doily stencil and a wash of Blackberry spray applied. 

Multi surface paints and posca pens bring the magnificent detail of the doily to life. 

Walnut spray and crystals define those shady areas with a sprinkling of crystals 

left to find their own way with a spritz of water. 

Given words from Lynne's affirmations complete the final tag.

I think this one maybe my new favourite *Favourite*...!!

Thank you for sharing your precious time.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Until next time

Creative Hugs & Wishes

Be the Smile.. It's a That's Crafty Challenge REMINDER..

Hello Creative Friends,

It's time to remind you of the Challenge going on over on the That's Crafty Blog..

*Close to Nature*

If you'd like to share your creative side with us we'd love to see you over THERE

Pop on over and read those entry rules there's prizes to be won.. !!

*Here's a little That's Crafty creation and how it came to be..*

Scraping paints onto a greyboard Tag I created a background

Stamping Lynne's sunflowers onto rice paper using versafine 

the images were gently torn around and pasted onto the tag 

with a watered down solution of multi purpose glue.

Painted with multi surface paints you see how the image 

continues along the edge of the tag...

A large flat back gemstone embellishes the middle sunflower with black and white 

pen bringing out parts of the image that may have been lost during painting.

Onto rice paper I stamped a sentiment from the same set and adhered it to the tag.

A ribbon bow attaches the tag to a card making it easier to be removed

if the recipient wishes to display it making an extra sweet little gift.

My *Be the Smile* Tag Card is complete.

Thank you for stopping by and please don't forget to check out what 

the super talented That's Crafty Team have created to inspire you.

*Butterfly heart* ~ I heart you (Part Two)

Hello creative friends.

It's time to remind you that *I Heart You*

and that there's still time to join in with the That's Crafty Blog Challenge.

Here is my mid month make with those *How to Do's..

Onto an MDF Tag I layered Texture paste through the floral heart stencil

and when dry added a layer of light texture paste over the top.

Two sizes of greyboard butterflies were glued together with detail drawn onto 

the wings very slowly. The Butterfly was then put aside and left to dry.

That's Crafty Multi surface Orange and Red give that bright colour.

Chestnut brown helps accentuate those veins with added dots of white posca.

A beaded wire body and antennae adds to that detail.

Mustard Yellow and a Lime wash is painted around the textured floral heart

with the raised flower painted in pearl metallic.

The Butterfly is adhered with glue gel and a sentiment created by piecing words together 

from Lynnes Affirmations set 3. Evergreen is dripped around the heart and edges darkened with  black blending ink.  A coating of 3D Gloss Gel completes my

*Butterfly Heart tag..*

I do hope you can join us over on the That's Crafty I Heart You Challenge

and I look forward to catching up with you all very soon.

Creative Hugs and Wishes
