SMS Sketch Challenge

Over in the SpiegelMom Scraps facebook group we are running a sketch challenge...

Suzanna has set the fun sketch and my immediate thought was I really want to use my new Christmas stencil!!

I picked out a colour scheme of white, Christmas red and icy blue.

The Fairisle style stencil is from Pretty My Page. I used two colours of Pasteeze through it two give various shades of blues.

I added a few puffy stickers (Bella Bvd and Elle's Studio), a few acrylic shapes (Color Cast Designs), some thin checked ribbon (Crafty Ribbons) and a handful of sequins - from SpiegelMom's of course!

The marbled type effect in the paste is subtle but I think that is because one of my colours is white. When mixing two colours (not white!) it gives a more bold finish. The blue shade is called Baby Boy Blue and really is a beautiful colour.

Here is the process...

Thanks for looking!

(The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.) Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity hoppity!! :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop . If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is Easter bunting! I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart. Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them. I embellished each flag with some beads... I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants. My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread. ...
