Fab ‘n’ Funky #445 - Christmas!!

Well, here we are again, where does all the time go?  Time for another Fabulous and Funky Challenge, and the theme for this week is Christmas - yay!!!! Always my favourite.

This weeks card is a mahoosive 7x7 card to make appropriate space for the sentiment which takes centre stage, which along with the stamped sentiment are both old Sheena ones from Crafters Companion.  The background was made by smooshing a distress oxide colour onto acetate, then spritzing with water and then placing onto my card, you can lift and move around the acetate to give you some amazing effects and then dry, repeat and do the same with another colour.  Flick a bit of water over the top for some faux bleaching.

Then I put a bit of distress oxide onto my craft mat, added a bit of water and picked this up with a paintbrush and flicked onto the card to give intense colour splashes, used one of the colours to ink around the edge of the card, stamped some snowflakes in silver ink (can't see these very well in the picture).  Mounted onto some blue mirri and then onto a card base, adding the sentiment to the front.


Well, over to you, I'm really looking forward to all of the christmassy inspiration this week!

Something New - Fab ‘N” Funky #443

Hi all, well time really is flying by, we are now in June and half way through the year!

The challenges keep coming over at Fab 'n' Funky and this week, the challenge is "Something New", so either, new home, new job, new baby.

My daughter has asked me to make a card for a work colleague of hers who is moving to another store as the Manager and she wanted a Good Luck card for him for her and all of the team to sign, unfortunately, she was not very forthcoming with any idea of what he might like so I was left to just go with a traditional four leaf clover (or heart stamped 4 times as I did!).  It's simple but I'm hoping it will serve!


Sorry, this is just a brief post but I must go get ready for the day job!

I look forward to seeing all of your makes this week & hope you have a fabulous "hump day"

TTFN
