CSI | Case File no. 313


I'm sharing my first CSI layout today...


These are such cleverly thought out challenges.  There is an image to spark off your creativity.  I have used the colour scheme and included lace, polka dots, hearts, scallops and small patterns all of which are represented in the case file.



I used the negatives from the Stained Glass cut file from Pretty My Page, well, half of them.  I used transfer tape to remove them from the cutting mat and add them to the top of the page.  I then coated everything with clear gesso and went to town with Brusho! 


I gathered up some scraps and titbits of lace, felt, twine and paper.  I finished the remains of an old sheet of vellum stickers from Freckled Fawn to add some black pops.


Next up are a couple of close ups of the mixed media because I love how it turned out...


I used one shade of green for the majority of the colour.  The powder is made up of different pigments so it gives the look of many colours and shades but it's just one pot of impressive paint.  I did add in a little yellow at the end to bring it back in line with the shade of green used in the case file.


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... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. 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.   ...
