War Horse with Sweet Poppy Stencils

Busy, busy but wanted to share this beautiful new Steampunk style
Mechanical Horse stencil designed by Emma Cronin for Sweet Poppy Stencils.
I immediately thought of War Horse and combined it with translucent paste and micro beads, Poppy stencil and distress inks.
It's a truly beautiful stencil and combines so well with the Poppies I think.
More to show you later...xKx
Thanks ever so much for looking...



Lavinia Stamps August Challenge Add Some Glitter

Morning,
We were recently at my Great Nieces Christening, it was such a lovely special day and little Holly was an absolute angel all through the service.
We all had a thoroughly enjoyable time.
I wanted to make her something really special, a truly keepsake gift.
So it just had to be done with Lavinia Stamps.
I also used this lovely MDF birdhouse from Candy Box Crafts which Roy kindly cut a money slot in the roof for me and a clock using the MDF scallop face.
Alongside the Lavinia Stamps I used paper from my stash, distress and Versafine inks, white pigment ink pad with a glitter embossing powder and some stickles.
Any further info you would like please just message me.
So I'm showing this today for the start of the new
Lavinia Stamps Challenge Add Some Glitter.
Please do pop by the rest of the DT blogs to see their amazing inspiration.
Hope you can join us for the challenge the winner receives a very generous £40 voucher to spend online!
I'll be back later with more Sweet Poppy...xKx

Brand New Sweet Poppy Stencils

Today I have the first of my makes using the
Mechanical Dog from Sweet Poppy Stencils to share with you.
I'm so excited to show you these new designs, they'll be on Create and Craft Wednesday 6th August.
For this first sample I embossed the stencil through my Grand Calibur twice, one for the main image and one to cut out.
Coloured with black soot distress ink, liquid pearls on the collars, layered up, few nuts and washers and hey presto, Walkies!
Simples!
My immediate thought when I saw them 101Dalmatians!
Hope you love them as much as I do, I have the wonderful Mechanical Horse to share with you later...xKx
