CRAFTER'S COMPANION MONTHLY CHALLENGE

2011-01-07T05:37:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year to One and All !

I intend to try and do more challenges this year, and to start me off is this sketch card for the Crafter's Companion challenge.

The challenge was to follow a sketch with the option of "NEW" as a theme......

I have followed the sketch using a new stamp I received for xmas !

Doing this today just to show my son how easy it is.

A Challenge Sketch from Di Hickman!

2009-01-29T08:43:00.000-08:00

I decided to use some encaustic work on the challenge sketch I done for Di, I think encaustic work is a great backing for masculine cards.

Both Blogs To Share.

I have put this card on my sister blog as well but thought it ought to be here because of the encaustic backing used!

The dragon is stamped onto silver mirror card, coloured with sakura glaze pens and clear embossed before being cut out and placed on the prepared card blank.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Just dropped by to publish a couple of encaustic cards I've recently finished. Both are done using a new mermaid stamped that I recently bought with the intention of using it in conjunction with encaustic work. I think the two go really well together!

Time to Share

I have not had a lot of time lately to play with my encaustic iron but have managed a couple to share with you.

Project Cards I Have Used Over On "Done by Den"

2008-08-31T07:01:00.000-07:00

I have been incorporating encaucstic work with card blog challenges for a couple of weeks and the following are a selection of cards from those challenges:-

Try scanning it!

2008-08-31T06:42:00.001-07:00

Every piece of encaustic work is completely individual, I have found scanning the work onto the p.c. and then printing it off onto plain white card works really . It is also a way of getting just the right backing paper for a project.

Butterfly Fairy x Two

2008-08-31T06:36:00.000-07:00

With these two cards I played with glitter and embossing powders directly onto the waxed backing paper. The glitter seemed to work really well and gave the whole thing a real mystical appearance, the embossing powder was not so successful.

Myth & Magical

I feel that fairies and encaustic work well together and I seem to have had a magical moment or two!
