Scrapbooking | StickerKitten's Mermaid Treasures

This layout has sat half made for months. I decided it was time to get it finished and in the album.

It uses StickerKitten's Mermaid Treasures ephemera and rubber stamps, distress oxide inks and loads of sequins!

The sea creatures in the ephemera pack are truly adorable. The little fish stamps are amongst my most favourite and most used stamps.

I did a pick and mix selection of sequins going through lots of mixes and selecting only the sequins that worked. I used lots of iridescent and pastel sequins along with 'sequin glitter' or the holes that are punched out the make the sequins.

I did some stamp surgery on this banner stamp. It comes with a greeting attached but I knew I would use it more if it was a plain banner. I carefully trimmed the greeting out. If I want to use it as intended I can simply mount the two pieces together in my MISTI.

Peeping jellyfish are my new thing! 😂

I love how this turned out and it reminds me I MUST use more stamping on my layouts. I am waiting for the Pink Fresh ink cubes to come back in to stock to boost my ink collection. I'm looking forward to be able to stamp bright and clear images that don't have the chalkiness that the oxide inks have.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday ! As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off. Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made...

And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead. They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread. (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 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. ...
