The Glittered Poppleberry

  Good afternoon crafty friends!! Time for some more sharing of desks, my favourite part of a Wednesday! To join in with this kind community head over to The Stamping Ground, run by the lovely Julia. So above is my desk currently, just decided to light a candle, since this time of year is perfect for it. I adore candles and have been loving burning them as the nights draw in. Anyone else a candle addict? So also on my desk is a Greggs cappuccino I grabbed this morning as I needed to pop into work at 7:30am. Far to early to be expected to function ! There's a selection of stamped, coloured and fussy cut Christmas images, these will be used in my Christmas cards. Some friends have already made theirs and are posting them today, that most definitely makes me panic! Everything seems to be creeping up so fast and I am not even ready, however I am glad I will be able to spend my birthday and Christmas with my family. I hope you will all be able to do the same too. So quite a few of you m...

 Good Afternoon all! So today I'm sharing a Halloween card I made using some bits I had extra of or were lying around. I searched in my background pages drawer and came across this dark, grunge effect sheet. This was made using water with some distress inks and smearing the colour on against my glass mat. Then from a recent Indigoblu magazine, I selected a stamp that matches the effect I was going for. I stamped it using Versafine onyx black ink.  From some stamped and coloured images I made in advance, I fussy cut some leaf clusters. Seperating each leaf, I arranged them on the opposite corner to the stamping. These leaves were coloured using Zig Kuretake clean colour real brush markers.  I adhered my leaves using collall glue, I chose to make them have the appearance of falling. Finally I backed this topper onto deep Aubergine Cardstock leaving a small border. If you wished to, a small halloween sentiment could be heat embossed on the right side of the card also.  ...
