G45 Nuts & Bolts Album

I made another of the “Nuts & Bolt” album as I call them, with my SIL Irene, but this time with Graphic 45 papers called Coutour. The last one I made was primarily stamping which you can see here and here but this one is very little stamping and more about the papers.

Who shows the last page first … well I had a play around with my graphics program again and liked the background, looks super cool eh!!! Loved the result of what I did here so played again.

I can hear you saying less of the playing and more of the showing Shirl!!!
OK here is the first page with some molding paste and ink through a stencil. Just to hi-light those super fussy cut pieces.

Each tag has a number, die cut from the movers and shapers magnetic set called Cargo, with a different embossing folder being used for each black page.

Fussy cut the tickets and also the prim and proper Miss Madam sitting in the chair.

Also mixed some of the papers from the French Country collection from Graphic 45.

Just For You

As I am writing this post Mr Postman has just delivered some little goodies from Art from the heart which I can’t wait to use.

Very good service and fast delivery plus everything was packed deliciously. Thanks guys.

Stampers Anonymous Nature Walk, Latticework Stencil, Doily Stencil and an Ideaology Locket Book. Fabulous

I have all the stencils now… apart from … sorry Tim just don’t do hearts so can’t see the point of buying something I won’t use.

Vintage Stamping Challenges want to see something – Just For You – in their new challenge this month.

Fabulous challenge and I have the lovely Claire to thank for this because what she wants is for you to make something for yourself. Now who doesn’t like a play around just for yourself?

Played with some corrugated cardboard, paint, molding paste, material and string then came up with this little piece just for me.

Stamped a portrait image which came from Flonzcrafts onto a spare piece of handmade paper which I found in my bit box. It already had the DI colours Mustard Seed, Peacock Feathers and Barn Door on it so I didn’t need to do much with it. Also stamped the fashion quote which came from A Flair For Art from Studio 490.
