couple of things that I forgot to blog..

I really fell behind with my blogging over the last few weeks, so here's a couple of things to catch up.

first of all my DT entry for the gingersnap white and soft yellows challenge. Made with a swipe of jenni bowlin malted milk ink, die cuts and bubble beads from penny wise arts.

secondly is my piece for the last stampotique challenge, which was shimmer and sparkle, practically everything on this card is sparkly!

gingersnap challenge: Wax

I took the gingersnap challenge of wax quite literally this week. I remember I used to be fascinated when I was younger when restaurants had wine bottles with candles in and the wine bottles were covered in dripped wax. I know they are a bit tacky but I like them.

Candles don't drip like that nowadays, so to create this effect I had to drip the candle myself down the side of the bottle.
To add a little bling I embedded iridescent bubble beads from penny wise arts into the wax (just heat gently with a heat gun and then push them into the wax)
Finally I heated the wax on the front and pushed the crown coin stamp from this crafty individuals stamp plate into it. leaving the stamp unmounted makes this really easy to do.
