I've got that Autumn feeling......

So this evening I had my craft class, it'll be around 6yrs since this group started. Though only small, it's very friendly. 

After class, I got on with card for today (evening)  I've used Johnathon Lockwood's Autumn range of stamps, which I fell in love With, as soon as I'd seen them on tv. 

 

Today I've used the pixie powders again, starting to become a favourite product of mine....colours used are plum twist, lava red and rich gold. I spinkled the powder onto my card and spritzed with water, and took a 2nd piece to get a print. I've then used Johns falling leaves background stamp, with flitter flake glue and copper flakes to create my coloured background. 

 

I also used Johns Autumn wreath elements stamps, to stamp my wreath, the happy birthday and the extra leaves added as embellishments. 

  

I used black archival ink to stamp my images and cut out by hand. I used a banner from the frames and tags range, and stamped my happy birthday. 

I Matt and layered using foundation rich plum card, and finished the card off with a plum ribbon bow. 

Finally finished.....

Well here is my sparkling white and silver card, finally finished. 

I started this card around 2 weeks ago, and I have learnt I really must put more time aside for creating. 

I really do love Sue Wilson cutting dies, and Johnathon Lockwood's Christmas rose stamps. 

 

What I have done here is, taken a piece of card and embossed it using the Sue Wilson Ivy embossing folder.

I've taken the reversed side (de bossed side) and scraped over the glitter sparkle paste. 

I used the double pierced oval frames to create the frame and the gorgeous Peace frame for the centre.

I've not used glitter card at all, but cut my pieces and either sprayed with aero glue or used my stick too glue pen and sprinkled on glitter.

I've then stamped out the Christmas roses, used sticky embossing powder, glittered and cut out, finally adding a lovely glass heart pin.

Another Johnathon Lockwood retail day....

This weekend we've had a fabulous time, with Johnathon Lockwood here Saturday & Sunday. We've had some really lovely ladies joining us from further afield and all gone home very happy with their pieces of art work. 

A couple photos from through out the day, lots of happy smiley people xx
