Craft Barn DT project

Hi everyone, hope you're all well today and looking forward to the weekend. I have another project for the Craft Barn today and this time Isabelle challenged us to make an ATC and incorporate some micro beads, I've used mine to make a topper for another of my little boxes and used the Paper Artsy and Crafty Individuals clock stamps. I have one more box from the set of three to decorate, I'm trying to do them all with a clocks theme. My DT friends have made some gorgeous ATCs, all very different, I hope you can pop over and have a look and if you'd like to win a little prize of  micro beads and embossing powder you can join in the challenge too by creating your own ATC and entering it in the link by midnight on 10th November.

Here's a list of the products I used for my ATC:Eco green white acrylic paint
cosmic shimmer mist bronze blush and midnight blue
Beadazzles, waltz
Paper Artsy Stamps, clocks 1
Crafty Individuals stamps, clock faces
blue metal sheet
glossy accents
black soot distress ink
gold pearl pen
stickles glitter glue
metal tools


Have a good Friday!

The Craft Barn – sketch challenge

 
 

Hi everyone, hope you’ve had a good weekend. It’s snowing again here but luckily the ground is wet!
On the Craft Barn blog we’re having a monthly sketch challenge and for February there’s a theme of love but that doesn’t have to be valentine, there are also three shopping vouchers to be won :). The original post with the sketch was issued last Monday if you fancy joining in and the girls have made some gorgeous layouts and cards using the sketch, you don’t have to make a layout. I had a go at making a mini book from some holiday photo’s and I’ll be adding some more pages to it although I struggled to find pictures that weren’t blurred from this holiday! I enjoyed doing it, first time I’ve tried a scrapped mini book and it was nice to write down little things I remembered.
I used BasicGrey Origins paper pad throughout and embossed some Ten Seconds Studio metal (first time for that too) for some of the embellishments using the basic metal tool kit and Ranger alcohol inks and blending tool. Lots of punching with Martha Stewart punches and sponging with Ranger Distress inks. Writing and doodling done with black fineliner, white gel pen and sparkle gel pen. TFL.
