PROJECT WEDNESDAY - SOMEONE SPECIAL

Good morning lovely people.

I hope your week is going well?

I had a lovely little visit from my grandchildren on Monday after they had finished school.  It is always a joy to see them and they lift my spirits no end.  They stayed and had some tea before Mummy had to drive home in the fog!!  I am sure they came to see me because they love their Nannie and Grandad - not because Nannie always buys Advent Calendars for them all.  Lol.  I even buy one for Amie and one for her partner.  Amie usually has a calendar with waxes in, you know the ones you burn to make the house smell nice, but she said she has loads of waxes and didn't need any more so this year she has had a Lindt one and Mark, her partner had a Toblerone one (mind you he nearly didn't get it because I LOVE Toblerone, lol)

Nobody ever buys me an Advent Calendar though! Ah well, I don't need the extra calories I suppose. Hahaha.

So, onto business.  

Here is the link to the edited version of my live in case you missed it.

I will be live in the group at 1pm as usual on Thursday so I hope you can join me.

Remember that Lisa is live on Create and Craft on Thursday and Friday of this week.

I did put times in the blog post on Monday but just as a little reminder here they are again:

Bonus, she is on with the ever lovely Nigel May.  I always look forward to Lisa's shows on TV but never more so than when she is on with Nigel.  They just go together so well don't they?

Wednesday again and that means another fabulous project.

This week's project is from the lovely Maria Moorhouse.

YOU WILL NEED

Ornamental Lattice die set 

Bold phrases die set

Foliage elements embossing folder and die set

Crazy paint embossing folder 

Bronze and Copper waxes

Flat brush

Scoreboard 

Black card

Gold card

Various neutral card 

Use the large outside edge cutting die from the ornamental lattice set and cut from a piece of neutral card. Score in half and emboss one half with the crazy paint folder, this is now your base card.

Cut a lattice and back panel from different coloured card.

Stick the lattice and back layer together and secure onto your embossed base card.

Use the foliage element set to cut and emboss two pieces of Ivy in black card. Spread a small amount of the waxes on a craft sheet, pick up tiny amounts at a time with a flat brush and brush backwards and forwards across the Ivy.

Cut two more pieces of Ivy from gold card, stick the black pieces over the gold and offset very slightly so you can just see a little of the gold.

Use the someone special dies to cut a gold sentiment and black back layer, stick together.

Secure the Ivy and sentiment to the card.

What a fabulous project.  Thank you Maria.

Remember to share your makes in the group if you decide to give this a go folks.
