Playing with fire!

no not really...but actually this post should really be titled a happy accident. A while ago while prepping the frame workshop for Pickleberry Crafts, I sprayed the frame on the floor , like you do, on loads of newspaper, (mainly because the Packing Pixie gets quite cross when I paint the carpet!) , and happily sprayed away with my mica sprays. I left it to dry, and  lifted the newspaper and went to throw it away, when I noticed how the sprays had covered a headline on the paper... My did I get excited! lol. I have had it sitting on my desk for a while, and after reading Gerrie's post yesterday where she has recycled some paper towel, thought I would show you it. Much too good to tear up or die cut, so I mounted it on some paper, and here is the result....
I see myself looking at headlines now with a view to painting them! You can get Crafty Notions sprays now in the shop.. I do have to add some colours swatches, but they are all sooo good, I truly don't think it matters as the colour names describe them exactly!
Have a great day!

Shimmering Stars

The week has flown by, and I am still catching up! I have been adding lots of new stuff to the shop, and generally trying to recover from Ally Pally. I hurt my back while lifting something, so progress has been slow this week, but the painkillers help! lol I just thought I would pop in and say hello to everyone, and show you another tag or two. The one without the uteed star was made by laying down Studio paints and then drying , and spritzing with craftynotions mica sprays on top. The star was made using craftynotions new Jewel Enamels which are fabulous, and pouring onto a non stick carft sheet and then pushing a star cookie cutter into it while it is still molten. Allow it to cool bfore removing. Unfortunately you cannot even see the shimmer in the scans :(

 I will have all these in the shop next week. In the meantime, Vintaj Charms , and Amate studio rings and pendants have pitched up in the studio, and are now available on line! Just wondering how I can use all these new products in one hit! lol
Have a very creative day!
