Wedding Lay out.....

Morning fellow crafty bloggers, hope you are enjoying these sunny days, had a lovely afternoon sat in the garden watching Zachary play yesterday, hadn't got the energy to join in with him as I have come down with a stinker of a chest cold......I'm going for a record for how many bugs I can catch in a year, I seem to have a week off before the next one appears, guess my immune system is running on over load.
I have had a play with all the new Crafty Individual stamps and paper pad that has just come out, the stamps are great for backgrounds, really nice and large...... check them out here. I wanted to do another wedding Lay out especially as it's my daughters and son in laws anniversary this Sunday.......guess whose got the kids !

I used a Tim Holtz stencil and Gesso for the main raised part of the background, the down size of that was it took an age to dry as it remained soft if I used a heat gun, afterwards I used purples and blues in glimmer mist drying in between each spritz.
I then used the backround stamps in archival hydrangea for the main areas and added some stamping in with Melon to add a smidge more yellow that are in the torn pieces from the new Seville background book from CI.

The butterflies are stamped on a page of the Seville book and then 

I added glimmer and gemstones for bling.

Messy Day......

Had a lovely day yesterday at Daisy's Jewels Crafts, I went to a class to make this quirky panel using stencils and stamps from Lin Brown, it's ages since I did a class with her and her style has changed so much from the first classes I did at LB Crafts, I must say that this is so not me, I don't do bright colours but it was fun experimenting with them. We started off making a background using stamps and stencils, I got carried away as usual not knowing when to stop, so I ended up with an owl that looks like he is in a snow storm. I couldn't get the colour right of the background panel so I ended up re painting it again this morning, finally happy with the colour now.

Have a fun filled day
