Glitter Me Silly

Hey folks.  Having a go at this weeks Make It Monday challenge over on Nichole Heady’s blog.  This week it’s reverse masking (which seems a bit like stencilling to me but hey ho!!).  I die cut the middle sized star from the Stars die set and used it to mask an outline into which I stamped one of the paint-splattery-type stamps from Grunge Me in Pure Poppy, Hawaiian Shores and Summer Sunrise.  I also blended a bit round the edge with the blender tool thingy (don’t you just love my grasp of the english language today!!)

Oh, and although she’s just a tad over 6 it’s also Aimes‘ birthday today so have a great day hunny pie – hope to see you soon.

We have a new challenge starting today over on the A Passion for Papertrey Blog.  The theme is “the elements” so we’re looking for something inspired by EARTH, AIR, FIRE or WATER.  Papertrey Ink have loads of stamps and dies that would fit this theme perfectly.  I chose a more “subtle” interpretation by using the word “rock”!!

Card recipe {You Rock}:
Stamps: Boy Basics: Rock On; Grunge Me, Fillable Frames#4.
Ink: Smokey Shadow, Pure Poppy, Versamark.
Cardstock: Smokey Shadow, Stampers select white.
Other: Saddle Stich ribbon, FF#4 die, Guitar die, staples.

Hope you get a chance to hop on over the blog and check it out.  Remember, you only need to use 1 PTI product to enter and you could win a yummy prize of a PTI stamp set!!!

Morning all, just thought I’d share this little project with you that I created for my niece. She asked me ages ago if I would make her some letters for her wall so as it was her 10th birthday last week I thought it was the perfect time to get round to it! I cut the letters from thin chipboard on my Cricut (Plantin Schoolbook) and then cut the letters again in some papers from the Beautiful Blooms paper Pad (my favourite PTI DP ever!).

Each letter has a little design element added and have foam pads on the back to adhere them to the wall. Her favourite colour is red (a girl after my own heart) so it should match the rest of her room pretty well. I have to apologise for the poor photography though – I just couldn’t get it right no matter how hard I tried!! I think I need to invest in a lightbox or something!!
