Well it has been a while since I last did the weekly challenge so we are now on week 21. The recipe for this week is:

  • a stamped image of an animal – I have used a unicorn
  • heat embossing – I sprinkled on some Moss and Clear sparkle and heated from below
  • something shiny – I used Glossy accents for the stream, painted on rather than straight from the bottle

I may have to take a photo from the side so you can see the twinkle and the stream but it has taken me over an hour just to get a decent photo as it is – I wish the colours would look the same as in the photo as they are in real life. The green should look more olive than it does here.

I have edited this after trying out a few photography tips and tried a few more settings on my point and shoot camera. Here is the image I came up with – can you see any difference??

Tag for ukstampers weekly challenge week 1

 I tried to prevent the glare from the acetate which meant I didn’t capture the effect of the glitter, not to mention the focus is all to pot!
This is the first tag for the UKstampers Rolling recipe tag challenge for 2010.  The recipe for this first tag is: a stamped image, lace and glitter.  The lace I have used is a scrap from my wedding dress.  The writing at the base says: Queen Anne’s lace (which is actually a wild carrot (Daucus carota), and the image is off it’s flower heads.
I stamped the image in pale plum onto the card then overlaid this with the same image in white ink stamped onto acetate.  The edges are white paint.
Inks:  Stampin up Pale plum, Versacolor white
Card:  Stampin up pale plum, acetate
Stamps:  Aspects of design 6 – Nature
Other:  lace, white glitter, eyelet, white paint
