Hallo Everyone!

We seem to have a full week

of projects for you.  Just the

thing to take your mind off

the weather................!

Today we have a post friendly

card from Jane Castle for you:

"I needed to make a card for my

 cousin which I wanted to have a delicate

 and feminine feel without being bulky with 

the addition of flowers as it had to go in the post.

 So I would like to share with you today

 the steps and processes creating this effect.

Starting with the background I brayered 

3 colours of Fresco Chalk paints - 

Blush, Nougat and Snowflake. 

Then mixed some mica powder with water 

in a Mini Mister and lightly sprayed over the card.

To this I then applied some Grunge Paste

 through a TCW stencil. Once dry I replaced

 the cleaned stencil and added ink with 

a sponge, graduating the colour.

Apart from the sentiment, which was

 a Woodware stamp, all the 

remaining stamps are from the

 Lavinia range. These are so good 

for creating little scenes and

 also work so well with other 

stamps/die cuts/stencils etc.

With the addition of mica powder brushed

 over the sentiment whilst still wet, 

stickles for fairy dust and a tiny gem 

for the birds eye the card is complete.

Many thanks for stopping by today,

 Happy Card Making. X"

Thank you Jane, for reminding us

that a lovely card does not have

to be three dimensional

It would be quite nice to make a

batch of these cards, all in different

colour ways to sell at the school

fete or Church Bazaar ..........

If you need any crafty supplies

then this is the place

Leave you with that thought

'Till tomorrow
