Each week the DT are showing different techniques and products and the Challenge this week is to us Vellum. After I had hunted down my Vellum which I love just have "forgotten" to use it much lately, I decided to emboss it with embossing folder and then coloured the whole thing with Alchol Inks which I have never done before!!! Great fun...
I have decided to make a page for each month for this challenge and have added big metal rings to hold them all.
It was quite hard to get into the winter theme as the sun was shinning through my craft room window and was very warm as I was crafting......anyway I chose the colours Purple Twilight, Stonewashed, Aqua, Denim with a little bit of Gold mixative thrown in, Stamps TH stamped in Stazon, "Snowflakes" were Spellbinders Ironwork Motifs which I love as snowflakes. I layered them up around a circle of card and velum for the centre of the large snowflake and added bit of bling ......got to have bling in January........which is a busy birthday month in this family, firstly DD, then DH then Me( a big one this time>>>>how did that happen!!), followed by DD's partner, followed lastly by our Grandson, closely followed in February for DS, phew........sorry I'm rambling again.............
I will also be playing at Anything But a Card Challenge.....shiney,sparkly,blingy
till next time
