I can do pretty...

Hiya

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend. Hasn't the weather been beautiful?

I always seem to do 'arty' things at the mo and I want to show you that I can do 'pretty' and just make a card so here's what I've been up to this afternoon.

I love snowman and snowflakes so decided that this would be my theme. When I went to the NEC on Thursday I saw Sparkle Paste by Imagination crafts and knew that I had to have them (I got the white, black and gold). So for me, this card is a slight combo of the two, arty and pretty.


Here you can see that the snowman is raised from the card and abit of the Sparkle Paste. The die is by Memory box who are rapidly turning into a fav company for dies.



I made some snowflake embellishments by using my Martha Stewart punch, WOW! clear UTEE mixed with mica powders, then added silver WOW! embossing powder on the top. (I got a great bargain for the Wow! Powders at the NEC a box of 12 for £5 - brill!!)



I'm really pleased with the outcome and can't wait to play with the rest of my Sparkle Pastes some more.

I've also completed my October Calendar journal pages and done the background for November and they'll appear on here mid-week. I'm chuffed with the November pages as I had great fun doing it.

Happy Crafting,
