Guest designer for Crafty Boots

Today I am delighted to be the Guest Designer for Crafty Boots. Their recent challenge theme is "No Stamps allowed". You can make anything crafty but it must have no stamping on it. Their challenge finishes on Sunday 28th February and you can see all the details and join in with the fun here

I had a very special wedding card to make for my silversmithing tutor so I decided to use this for my GD project.  Her dress was red and black and I used this for the colours of my card, plus I added in some wedding day white for luck.

I painted my card with Fresco paint and added some crackle paste through my TH Gothic stencil and left it to crackle.







































I love the effect it creates.

Next I die cut lots of frames and embellies and added glitter and textures to them.
I added distress glitter to my hearts

Once I had lots of textured pieces  I chose the ones I wanted to use for my card.

It was then time to put on my creative hat.....to produce this card.

It was so hard to photograph, IRL there is lots of lovely texture and twinkle.


Here are some close ups

I hope you will join in with the fun and that I have given you some inspiration how to make a textured card with no stamping. The challenge is running for one more week. Thanks to Dionne for inviting me to Guest Design today, it's been a pleasure.

We had a lovely visit to Southampton on Saturday. Daisy's speech is coming along so well..she is is now stringing sentences together. We got out for a coastal walk but boy was it wet, windy and very muddy!

 Daisy loves wearing her wellies and took every opportunity to jump when she could.

Thanks for stopping by today and if this is a first time visit for you, please can I extend you a very warm welcome. I would also like to say hello to my latest follower, it's great that you have joined me on my creative journey here at Jane's Journal.

Back soon,

Bye for now,
