Hello!
I thought I would share another WOW! art doll with you today!


Her dress was made by triple embossing a piece of chipboard cut to shape. I used Primary Apple Red powder, and added white dots by sprinkling White Ultra High powder onto the molten red surface. I also added a bow..



The bow was created using the fab bow mould, and has red glitter powder on it to give an extra sparkle!
I created a flower in exactly the same way. and added it to her hair...





She is gazing at three blue balloons.... again, triple embossed using Pastel Glacier Mint, Fluorescent Blue and Azure powders...


I hope you like her!
Have a great day,
Trish

Hello!
Our Anything Goes challenge this month means I can just play to my hearts content!
I've made a winter themed panel....






My whimsy girl has a nice warm winter headband, created from 5 shabby rose flowers!





I used white powder mixed with diamond white powder to give that 'all the way through' sparkle. I used my top tip of sprinkling the mould with the glitter powder before adding the molten powder to it..... this gives a glitter shine which doesn't rub off!





Molten white powder makes wonderful snow... and if you look really closely you can see the snowflakes stamped in white!






Have a lovely weekend!

Hello! This month's theme is 'Anything But A Card'... which suits me right down to the ground! I created a piece of home decor using lots of the new products:



The three flowers were created using the new blossom mould. It never fails to impress me just how a quite frankly strange looking mould can produce such an amazing flower! I used three of the new powders to create the flowers, Fairy Dust, Sugar Plum and Silent Night. I mixed each with a little Clear Ultra High powder to make each go just that little bit further!

The wonderful Pick 'n' Mix stamps that Maya has designed are so useful, and I've combined a few of them to create my phrase. I stamped in black ink, then embossed with clear extra fine powder to give the shine...

I really like the elegant monochromatic look... hope you do too!! Trish xxx

Hello! I thought I'd challenge myself to create something totally out of my comfort zone... a clean and simple card! I think I nearly managed it.... 



OK, so I did do a little messy painty smearing for the panel across the middle, but there is still a big bit of white space around it, so that counts doesn't it?! I added sprinkles of black ultra high powder to the splattery details..



The theme on the blog this month is foil, so this is what I've done with my die cut word. Very difficult to capture the high shine in a picture, but this is super shiny silver in real life!




I cut the word from cardstock covered with adhesive sheet. I simply peeled away the backing paper, then pressed the foil down onto it. Such an easy way of  achieving that amazing shine!
Have a great day everyone!

Hello!
Tania challenged the DT this month... either a scrapbook layout or a memory keeping project! Now, I have never created a layout in my life.... so memory keeping it was!
I created this box, perfect for keeping all those little sentimental treasures safe and sound!


I used White Ultra High Embossing Powder in the Shabby Rose mould to create the three embellishments on top of my box...


I also used Primay Chartreuse on a wooden embellishment underneath my roses. A nice trick to getting a shabby chic finish is to colour your embellishemt white using paint, then add your powder sparingly on top. Once melted, the powder gives a distressed look, with the white underneath showing through in places.

My box is actually an Altoid tin! I covered it with paper, then coloured using inks and paints. I added crackle glaze...



and glued wooden beads to the base as 'feet'



I hope you like it!
Have a fab weekend everyone!

Hello! A summery, happy bright project from me today!

I stamped the butterflies onto vellum, then embossed with Bright White Embossing powder. I really love how the white stands out!

The butterflies were put to one side whilst I created the background. This was done by smearing and smudging yellow, green, blue and red paint onto a wooden panel. I also added my favourite detail, splattered dots! This was done by spritzing the whole background with water, then sprinkling a tiny pinch of Ultra High Ebony Black powder over it. The water creates just enough 'stick' so the granules don't get blown away when you point the heat gun at them! The water then, of course, simply dries away whilst you emboss!


Remember though, only spritz water onto your background if you have used some kind of permanent colour... I've used acrylic paint. Water based inks will bleed and run! I used a wooden word as my finishing touch. This was coloured black, then embossed with Ebony Black powder to give …

Hello!
I love colour, so it stands to reason that I love rainbows! I think a perfect combination to a bright background is stark black, it really pops, especially if it's shiny! So, I created an embossed butterfly to land on top of my rainbow....
I also added tiny black speckles, created by adding a sprinkle of black Ultra High onto the background..
My glossy, black embossed butterfly was then added on top! Love that shine!
A little stitching finished off the project...
A bit 'clean and simple' from me today, I can switch things up from the' messy messy' kind of crafting sometimes, honest!
Have a great week!

Hello!
I love the fabulous picture that has been chosen as the inspiration picture for our current challenge: Spring. The pink blossom is just gorgeous, so I decided to created a little pink blossomed 'something' as my project this month!
I wasn't sure which pinks I wanted to use, so had fun experimenting a bit! Here are the results...
In the end, I chose to use flowers numbers 1, 2 and 4 from the sheet!
The flowers were attached to some springy wire, then added to a small wooden candlestick. I put some white card 'grasses' in there too, and included text paper and white cord as extra details!
Experimenting with colour mixes is great fun, it's amazing the difference in shades you can achieve just by adding a tiny tiny amount of powder!
Have fun,
Trish xxxx

Hello!
The theme for this month is 'Inspired By'.... and I've chosen to use a technique shared by Birgit Koopsen many moons ago in Craft Stamper Magazine. I adore this technique, and have used it rather a lot since Birgit first shared it with us! Basically, it's all about 'painting with powder'.....
Every last little bit of colour on this panel is embossing powder...
The background is created by layering lots and lots of colour on top of each other...creating an almost airbrushed effect!
The layers were created with regular powder, and I used ultra high powder (Ebony Black) to create the larger black splat effect.
Once the background is cold, Versamark ink can be sponged through a stencil, and then more powder sprinkled on top. Once melted in, it gives the seamless stencilled look...

I also added my favourite rose as a finishing touch.... Apple Red powder, with red glitter powder added to the mould first before pouring. This gives the glitter top coat finish...

Hello!
I adore creating 3D items, so a Home Decor theme this month is right up my street!
I have created this piece of wall art, using LOADS of shabby rose embellishments....
The base is an old frame that I have distressed with paint and a crackle medium. A little bit of brown ink sponged on top gives a great vintage look! Once the frame was done, I started to create the roses. Yes, this takes a little while as there are 20 in total, but the shabby rose mould can create three at once so that helps!
19 of the roses were created simply with white embossing powder...
The 'accent' rose was created using Primary Apple Red powder, with a tiny pinch of Black to turn the bright red into more of an 'ox blood' type colour. I finished my piece with a word created from plastic letters..
Despite the fact that creating so many flowers is a little time consuming, this is a nice simple project you can have a go at yourself! Why not create a square or an initial letter with your embell…

Hello!
The theme for this month is 'memories', and I want to share part of a very good memory from this year... Getting onto the WOW design team!
Part of the application process was to submit some creations using embossing powder, so I created this 3D home decor piece.....
I used copper pearl powder, and made a 3D rose using the large rose mould...
The leaves were created by twisting wire into oval shapes, then gluing on old book pages. I added a glossy glaze onto the leaves to create shine.
The wire stem was attached to the rose, then placed in a driftwood disc. A cut out word completes the look, I love searching through text to find just the perfect word to use!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, see you all in January for another project! Trish xxxx

Hello!
The theme for this month is my favourite thing, mixed media!
I've created my favourite thing, an Art Doll!
As well as plenty of paints and inks, there are rather a lot of WOW products in there too!
I stamped the body using the dots from the funky border strip set, and embossed them using white powder. The 3D heart is created using the heart mould, with clear and process blue powder. To get the swirly effect, add the blue powder on top of the clear powder, then just leave well alone until completely melted. Stir just once, then pour into the mould. The white inner core of the blue powder is not totally released that way, giving the variations in shade...
The 'love' word comes from the Express yourself stamp set. I stamped it onto tissue paper then added it to the body.
I added a strip of hearts to the base, from the Gratitude set..
 The crown has been triple embossed using primary apple red powder, with a layer of white powder as the second layer. The white breaks th…

Hello!
Trish here, sharing my projects for the 'One Stamp, Two Ways theme for this month!
I chose a stamp from my favourite set: Gratitude! I used one of the hearts, and made these....
My first project uses the hearts to create a note card.First of all I used turquoise paint to stamp the dots from the Funky Border Strips set ont scrap card, then stamped the heart multiple times using black ink. I cut them out, then sewed them to more white card. A few circle punches later, and the embellishments were ready to go onto the card blank. This was embossed in Apple Red , using the same dotty stamp as before. As the hearts are attached just down the centre, the sides can be raised for a 3D look....
My second use of the heart stamp starts out the same way as the first..... but rather than sewing the heart to more card, I've triple embossed them with clear ultra high powder! This gives a nice sturdy finish, as well as the glass like shine! I glued the hearts to wire, then attached the …

Hello!
Trish here, sharing a project using this months theme...'My Favourite' !
When I was deciding what to do this month, I came to the conclusion that I should just do *everything* that is my favourite.....so here it is!
All my favourite things! Loads of colour, loads of paint, stamping, stripes and a lot of Embossing Powder!
The background has been smeared with different colours of paint, then has been stamped...
I used black ink and white paint for my stamping, and used the text from the 'call me' set, and the dots and checkerboard from the 'Funky Border Strips' set.
I created three pansies using clear ultra high powder, and Calypso Embossing Glitter. I love the pansy mould, makes a fab flower!
As well as using stripy stems (second only to stripy legs as a firm favourite thing!), I used black ultra highpowder to create a splatter effect....
My last favourite thing is to use a quirky bit of text to finish off.....
I hope you like it...lots of my favourite th…
