Magnificent Monarch

 Two beautiful cards and 1 box were made in this weeks' workshop.

 These cards are of a neutral style which would suit both ladies and men as either a winter birthdays or Christmas cards. 

The images are from napkins, so the first layer of the napkin was peeled off and glued onto card using a glue stick. Once dry, the napkins are die-cut and layered onto die-cut frames and used behind an aperture.

Additionally, the box was a single sheet of card, then scored and glued to produce a square tube shape. Then a lid and base were made, gluing the base in place and then adding decorative additions. 

 Happy Crafting

Christmas Joy

This weeks workshop was a fun mixed media styled icon plaque. The ladies had to get a bit messy with paints, gilding wax and structure paste, but what we're pretty sure it was worth it! 

Ideal for adding a festive touch to wherever it is placed. To create the design the following elements where used:

- Die cutting (lots and lots of it!)

- Stamping 

- Painting (the plaque and JOY letters)

- Stencilling with structure paste

- Embossing card to use as a decorative background, which had a hint of gilding wax used to bring out the design. 

- Rosette making
