Clare's project four was a HOT challenge indeed. I had to improvise as my glass slide was a square and I had an idea. I am hoping my swap partner will not mind my idiosyncratic interpretation.
I stamped using acrylic paint on the back then on the front - all was well. Then came the edging with embossing and that is where I dropped the slide, burnt my fingers and got my tweezers well and truly embossed in gold sparkle! Clare made it look calm and simple - I made it look like a slap stick comedy. My LO was unimpressed and walked off muttering "mummy you are in big trouble this time!".
I think I over embossed and was worried I had ruined it. I left it over night and made my stamped bee using acrylic mustard seed, sticklers and GAs.
Having returned to the slide today I decided it was workable so this is my finished fridge magnet.
I quite like it.
I thought I would also have a go at doing an altered dictionary as featured by The Craft Barn's Alpha Challenge. This is just for me to play in. I thought it might help even when I am back at work as it is more structured and compact. I have decided to follow the letters on The Craft Barn site but I won't be entering as this is just fun for me. Anyway the letter is 'D' and my word is 'Draughts'.
Thanks for stopping by. Hugs Cherry x
