September 25th Leigh's Blog Hop Finale!

This is a 2 month long "Anything Goes" hop that ends September 25th at 11:55pm pacific!  Leigh's blog hops are stress free...you play when you want and how much you want!  All the details are HERE at LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog!  The linky party is there, too! 😉  I am posting this before bed just in case something prevents me from doing so tomorrow and missing the finale!  I  hope to get one more project finished but one never knows.   

I heat embossed a piece of mixed media paper after running it through an embossing folder.  Next came some Distress Oxide Inks in shabby shutters and tumbled glass.  I stamped the floral design and sentiment on the same type paper.  The stamps are part of the Enchanted Garden free set in a Papercraft magazine.  I used Distress markers to color the floral sprig and inked the sentiment with the Distress Oxides.  I popped them both up with foam tape and layered them on some cardstock.  Thanks so much to Leigh for hosting this wonderful blog hop!  It has been a very hopeful ray of light to get up and know some awfully kind folks out there are creating and looking at what I created for the day!  Thanks, Leigh and to all the participants in the blog hop!

 

September 9th Stay Crafty @Home Blog Hop

 

This is a 2 month long "Anything Goes" hop that ends September 25th at 11:55pm pacific!  Leigh's blog hops are stress free...you play when you want and how much you want!  All the details are HERE at LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog!  The linky party is there, too! 😉   Super quickie tonight with two small stamps and one die cut!

A raven stamp  and "nevermore" stamp were the start of this.  I finally bought a mini MISTI and I totally love it!  I don't have the technique down pat yet but I tried masking to stack my ravens, stamping them with Distress Inks.  I was going to scrap it but decided a weird cut and the sentiment embossed in black would save it.  The door came to mind with the Nevermore theme and I could call it "Nevermore Door" :)  I have one Distress Oxide stamp pad in shabby shutters (I am always late to the party!) so it was dotted through some die cut waste cereal box cardboard.  Google eyes were called for.....on the door after layering on some orangey foil paper and the center raven.  Another fun make to play around with for the blog hop!
