The Glitter Cat Collection

I'm always interested in finding and trying out new techniques and if you love getting messy and covered in glitter ~ which, let's face it, any crafter does ~ then this is a must and I think anybody will find that the end result is worth it.

For these designs, I drew and cut out a template from a self adhesive sheet, which is then mounted on card. I used cat designs but you can use any motif you wish, whether it be flowers to Christmas designs. Then I laid a piece of fabric lace over the design and covered it in one colour of glitter. After removing the excess glitter and carefully pulling back the lace, another layer of glitter, in a contrasting colour is added over the top. Once again, tap away the excess and you will be left with these wonderful contrasting glitter designs, which when added to a card, makes a stunning composition, that I'm sure anyone would love to receive.

Something a bit different...

Wow, where did this year go? Time flies when you're having fun and before we know it, Christmas will soon be here.

This has to be one of my favourite projects, that I've worked on over the last few weeks. Using K & Company's Swell Noel paper...I've made this little Advent tree, which was a huge delight to work on. Complete with ornaments and a white star garland, the paper has been curled, stuck and trimmed to complete the tree. And finally, last but not least, it was all completed with a flourish of a glittered star, added to the top.

Now, all that remains to be done and starting on the 1st of December, right up until Christmas Day, one of those little ornaments will be hung on the tree and the countdown to Christmas has begun.

It's been a while...

Time flies when you're having fun and yes, it's been a while since my last post. I have got a good excuse though and the last few months have seen quite a lot of ups and a few downs but throughout it all ... I've managed to keep smiling and creating, which is the most important thing. I do love what I do and sometimes, when you need time out from all the hustle and bustle of every day life...it can be good to get covered in ink and glitter and then make someone smile with what you've created for them.

Anyway, today I finally decided I should pay this little forgotten blog of mine a visit and I should show you what's been keeping me busy. These are just a few of my designs, there are oh...so...many more, where these come from but I hope you enjoy what you see...
