Perfect Moments

Vicki Fraser and I teamed up on Sunday to try out some new techniques. I took white gloss cardstock and streaked purple and pink inks over it,then clear embossed this sentiment from Stamp It. Then I mixed up purple paint and glitter and painted in the same streaked way as the inks. When nearly dry removed excess paint from my clear embossed sentiment to reveal “Perfect Moments” then added some purple ink over to define words using my Stamp It Sponging Block. I decided my ribbon need a pin so I made my own with beads from my daughters stash and added a little glitter. Then I decided to decorate inside the card with a very pleasing result. I’m happy with these photos you can see a lot of detail.

Oriental Star Book

I have taken a lot of classes with Jane Norrish and this was the very fist class I ever did with her and I was so impressed with myself for completing this project before I went home from class as I had never done such a complicated class. Jane made it all so simple and easy to follow and I couldn’t wait to do more classes with her after that. Her main design tip was to use a piercing template for the pages as this was the trick to make the project so neat and we used a book binding thread to secure the project together and even some fancy beading on the seam. We used foils to add some interest to the pages and the Gold Krylon pen to do some edges,special affects and details. Some of the image colouring was done with chalks to create a more subtle affect. I hope you enjoyed looking at one of my many treasures.
