Hello it has been way too long since I have done a paper craft blog and I have really missed it. So its time to have a play. This week after a particualarly trying day I decided to make a sign with the words MUM WORKING DO NOT DISTURB sign . If you picked up this months do crafts Magazine you would have got in your free gifts a great pack of wood paper. Its a nice thickness and I was hopeful it would take some paint. I loved this painted look wood paper so it just seamed perfect to add the text in paint. I made a stencil using my silhouette machine with some card but if you have individual die letters you could use them or you could buy stencil letters. I used Americana Acrylic paints in white. Pop a little bit of paint in a jar and then using a sponge gently pat a small amount of paint onto the sponge then gently pat it over the stencil. BE CAREFUL if you use to much paint it may seep under the stencil. Carefully pull back the stencil to reveal your words. Leave to dry. I think this would be great as a fathers day card don't you?. Embellishments Sometimes you can have lovely embelishments like these lovely butterflies which I picked up in Lidl a few months ago completely unsure what I was going to do with them but actually they are rather lovely but on their own they just don't look enough. Lets look at some ways to completely embellish these in a really sumptuous way. Butterflies and flowers go together like toast and butter so lets take the easy route and make up some flowers. I have made these using a selection from the silhouette store. Sometimes when I get the chance I just make up some flowers using my cameo but sometimes you just cant beat some die cut flowers like these bellow oh and we better add a few leaves. Don't forget to add a few gems for a bit of glamor. Finally secure with hot glue unless you are using a very intricate die cuts shapes. I love this card and it was such fun to make. But its going to need a box as it won't fit in an envelope. Perhaps that would make a good blog for next week.
I hope you found this useful. Happy Crafting xxx
