Thought I'd give Kenny K's Krafty Crew Challenge a go, have only entered once in all the time I've been following it, so about time I gave it a go again.  This is a case (I hope) of one of the DT's cards, got my promarkers and Copics out again to colour the image and used some spellbinder dies and some old backing papers I had.http://kennykskraftykrew.blogspot.co.uk/

Air Dry Clay...A Card Two Years In The Making

I bought some air dry clay about two years ago for this project, finally this is my first draft.  The script is a Hero Arts wooden stamp but any script would do, I inked the stamp, pressed it into the clay and then cut the shapes out with small heart shaped cutters.

It Seems Like Forever Since I Made A Card

Got a lovely Stampendous stamp from my local craft shop and was desperate to do something with it and this is what I came up with, an 8x8" layered card...I do feel its missing something though!

Party Paws

Got my new party paws cd and I have to say I am loving it.



Shaving Foam Printing

I saw this on TV and was really excited about trying it out. I bought cheap shaving foam from Morrisons (26p) then....

1. Fill the tray with foam

2. Spray Mica Spray very close to the foam to get intense spots of colour

3. Swirl into random pattern

4. Place paper on top and make sure you press into the foam so the paper makes full contact with the Mica.

5. Lift paper off and use a ruler or similar to scrape the foam off the paper.

6. Lay the paper, face up, on to a piece of kitchen roll and wipe printed surface with a separate piece of kitchen roll to dry, then another piece to buff.

I used two types of card, coated card stock, which gave me a subtle colouring with no Mica glitter to it and a quality printing card that gave me an intense colour with Mica glitter. Both ways looked good and it was lots of fun.

I did reuse the same foam a few times and it just gave me different looks, definitely worth playing around with to make backing papers.
