Putting on the Glitz!

I know you may not be able to see it clearly from these shots and they're still a work in progress in these photos but I have been playing with those fab embossing glitters that Amanda turned me on to.  I am just loving the things you can do with them - so much so I had to have a newer, quicker heat gun cos I got fed up waitin for my old thing (you now the kind that looks like a hair dryer) to heat the powders up. 

I usually figure if it's not broken and it still works then why change it? - but it has been sooooo nice bringing myself up to date with a new one - makes such a difference!  Plus I sold a whole bunch of surplus craft items this weekend that it was nice to put something back by way of new crafting gear.

I was surprised a t the colour scheme - not usually my colours but these BoBunny papers were sooooo pretty.  They're from a design called Jazmyne and are part of their glittered range.  That's important as it happens cos I glitzed up the chipboard, die-cut accents with glittered embossing powder. I think we'll have fun with these in this class so I can't wait!

You might just be able to make out the glitter in this shot.  I have since added green embroidery floss stitches to the flower stems plus changed the title frame - finally used one of my new Waltzing Mouse Stamps from Jessy for Christmas (about time!!) - to a glittering lush purple so it 'pops' out of the page.

Since I've already taken my samples in to the store I can't re-photograph it until someone takes me there again.  I saw my doc today and I'm still a health and safety hazard (LOL) so I'm still not allowed back to work let alone able to walk on my own yet.

I also made up the handmade card kit but the photo I did in a hurry was not up to scratch but it's in store if you want to see it and I promise I'll eventually post a picture here.  These classes don't run until March and I sure hope I'm better by then!  I don't want to be a lady of leisure anymore - it's getting BORING!!!

Blessings
