Love is in the Air....



Those who know me, all know for sure that my love for crafting didn't go away, it just had to get put on hold for a while.  Life & stuff happens.... BUT - 2013, this is a  new start, and what better way than to join a new design team?  for Kuretake - Zig pens.... the ones who make those fabby little 2 way glue pens.... great for sticking fiddly little bits, Calligraphy pens, Brush pens and oh so many other things!

There is a new selection of Corner/Border punches out... I've used the heart border/corner here... just a little something for Valentine's Day.  I also used the Art & Graphic Pens to colour in the stamp - these have a rubber tip and thus, won't shred when you are madly coloring in your stamps!  You can use these at full strength... or scribble them onto a bit of plastic or a tile, and use a waterbrush to pick up the colour.... great for painting & colour washing! 

Lovers of Shrink Plastic will like this....... The flowers are made from a bit of chiffon - cut out a circle - or in this case, 3 circles - carefully, with a pair of tweezers, hold the edge of the fabric near, and I do mean close! to a naked candle flame.  This is not for the faint hearted!  best to do it in the vicinity of the kitchen sink [especially the first time you do it - just to get a feel for how it works!] and magically watch the edges all crinkle and melt!  keep turning the flower to get a roughly 'even' shape - mind you dont burn your fingers!!  You can paint the edges with glitter glue too - They look great!

Love & laughter!  have fun. x
