FABULOUS FAST CRAFT FRIDAY

 Morning all

I hope you are all ok and coping with the dreaded white stuff??

I love to sit at home and watch the snow but I do hate going out in it.  It used to be my pet hate when I was at work because it was quite a walk from the car park to the office.  And on top of that it was all hilly so a tad treacherous too.  Still, these days I can sit and watch it.  My trusty Tesco delivery driver brought my shopping for me - I did feel a bit sorry for him to be honest, he was wet through and looked so cold.  Mind you I didn't feel that sorry for him - it saved me going out and braving the rain and the cold.  

So, I know soooo many of you ordered your goodies from the TV shows - my question is how on earth did you choose which bundle to go for or did you go for the big bundle?  As always Lisa has been blown away by your ongoing support.  It just means that she can go on creating these wonderful products for you all because you all believe in her.  I'm always amazed at what she comes up with and it feels brilliant that when I say "Wow, Lisa that's fabulous" - it's not just me saying it because you all say it by buying the product.  So thank you from myself and the whole Design Team, without you we wouldn't be having this much fun! Lol

Well, it's Fast Craft Friday so it is over to the lovely Maria Moorhouse for this week's project.

Thanks for joining me again, I decided on bit of stencilling this time, let’s jump straight in.

You will need

Layering stencils Camellia Cluster LHCAS019

Nested Scallop & plain circle dies LHCCD036

Banner sentiments LHCCD053

Nested stitched bubble square dies LHCCD053

Cloud 9 Matt blending inkpads, 

Margarita, Eucalyptus, Almond Frosting, Coral Beach, 

Antique Pink, Rhubarb Jam, Tree Bark.

Ink brushes

LHC Ultimate 

Stencil 1, a nice even layer of Margarita and a touch of Eucalyptus.

Stencil 2, lightly add Coral Beach to the areas in the picture above, and Antique pink as in the picture below.

For stencil 3, add a generous layer of Antique Pink and a touch of Rhubarb Jam for shade.

Stencil 4, a generous layer of Coral Beach, and add shade with a touch of Almond Frosting.

Back to the Antique Pink and Rhubarb Jam combo for stencil 5.

And for stencil 6, use Eucalyptus and Tree Bark.

After a little peek, I decided to add a touch of Almond Frosting to the tips of foliage with stencil 1.

Blend some of your ink colours around a large piece of card and die cut the large bubble square.

Secure this to a 8 inch card blank and add a piece of glitter card die cut with the largest stitched square.

Die cut your stencilled design using one of the large squares from the bubble square set, and then die cut 3 circles.

Lay your stencilled piece onto the glitter card, don’t stick it down yet, add glue and stick the circles down in the positions they were die cut.

Now raise the main piece on foam pads or strips and secure in place.

Add a sentiment, I had several left ready to use from last time I used the banner sentiments.

And stop the clock, I did think I was going to run out of time-20 minutes or less is the brief!

I actually wasted a minute trying to decide which colour sentiment, which do you prefer?

The finished piece, I hope you like!

Thank you Maria, that's a fabulous project.  

I like the dark red banner personally. 😉
