Good morning. What a beautiful Monday morning. Well it is here in our household because I am on annual leave for a week - so NO work for a whole week - just chilling with some crafting. Heaven.
A new challenge starts today at Crafting from the Heart.
Our theme is 'Always Anything Goes'

I have chosen a digital stamp called 'Big Message' which I thought would be a really useful image for lots of messages and events.
After printing I have coloured my image using my copic sketch markers.
My background is actually a left over one I made sometime ago, used two thirds on another project. If is using a technique I picked up from Julie Watts. I started with an A4 piece of heat resistant acetate, covered a large portion with of dries clear glue, I did put quite a thick coating on. I then sprinkled my pixie powders on top of the glue and gave them a misting, not too much just to activate. I then sprinkled some glitter on top of that and finally placed my tissue paper on top of it all. I pressed my tissue paper into the glue GENTLY, don't rub at this stage just press so it is all settled then put it aside to dry. I found at least over night. What I did was spent an afternoon doing several of them.
I then cut my frame out using my double pierced oval dies and as you can see I have off set the middle one - I saw this on a card someone had made on the creative expressions facebook page and thought it looked really effective and different.
Some matting and layering prior to putting my oval frame on using some foam pads to raise it.
I then fussy cut my image and a mat using the direct cut facility on 'Brian' my BSC.
The flower is a die from tattered lace and the leaves are creative expressions dies.
After putting it together I realised I should have embossed one of the mats but it was too late so I finished it off with some nuvo tonic pearl drops - Caribbean ocean colour. If you look closely you will see I have also used this for the eyes on my image. Quite effective I feel.
