My all day workshop projects

Here are the photos of the projects we made at my recent all day workshop. We made a calender bookmark & 12 cards from 1 sheet of 12"x 12" double sided paper.

Firstly here is the calender bookmark. I printed the calender onto white copier paper then overstamped it with a flower from the Bloomin' with Beauty set using Pumpkin pie & Old olive markers to colour in the stamp before stamping it out. I then continued to overstamp the calender front this time with just the flower head & Barely banana, making sure I stamped first onto scrap paper & then onto my project, to get a more bleached out image.

The calender was then mounted onto a Barely banana which again has been decorated as per the front. I used the Crop a dile to punch a hole & add a eyelet through which I inserted Chocolate chip ribbon which I secured to the bookmark with some thin tape. I hate how the back of the eyelet looked so I added a flower punched used the Boho Blossom punch to cover the "mess".

Sketch Challenge

I saw this sketch challenge in a recent crafting magazine & although I have been cardmaking for more years than I care to remember I've never actually done one of these before, so I thought now was the time to change all that.

Here is the sketch:

And here's my interpretation.I've used SU Loads of Love stamp set, unfortunately I do not own the accessory set YET! so I hand drew the driver. So you can now see why I was asked to drop art at school.

The Poinsettia was made using the 5 petal punch & one of the flowers from the Boho Blossom punch. I added some dazzling diamonds to the centre flower. To make the flower 3D I rubbed the petals with an embossing stylus whilst they were laying on a soft surface, in my case a thick soft mouse mat. Here is a closer look.To add to the Christmas look I've added tiny wreaths to the doors & Christmas trees in the windows. Recipe
