Candy Box Crafts Beach Huts

How cool are these Triple Beach Huts from Candy Box Crafts they were so easy to assemble, just follow the guide letter's and match A to A etc and add a little Cosmic Shimmer glue. I covered mine with some of the fabulous weathered wood papers from Kaisercraft.

There's lots of flat surface to decorate, so you can have fun with die cuts, stencils and paste etc.

And of course there is a lovely big space at the back of the hut's which just screamed out for a seaside theme with lots of textures and Mica powders.

Dragons Dream TIO #144 Coastal, Mica and a Flourish/Crafty Individuals June Challenge

 

It's my turn over at Dragons Dream TIO to choose the theme, so how could I resist (this being the middle of Summer and all, and me living at the seaside),  having a coastal theme.

I've used a  chipboard  tag this time as I wanted a good solid base to work on.  The background was crated with a mixture of distress stains, mica powders and gilding wax. The sentiment is from Crafty Individuals and the flourishes are from HOTP.

You might have noticed I love Seahorses and they make an appearance whenever possible. This is one of Caroline's and has been painted up with Imagination Crafts mica powders, which are gorgeous in the flesh sadly photo's don't do them justice, finished off with Creative Expressions gilding wax and, erm, a snowflake!!!! Yep you read that correctly lol, the fin was made from an Alterations snowflake die using a couple of layers of tissue paper, see a snowflake is not just for Christmas lol.

Hope you pop along and join in our challenge this time, just please remember to use at least one real stamp on your tag. You will find a link to the challenge blog on my sidebar. 

I'm also going to see if I can enter this in to Crafty Individuals June challenge as well.

Dragons Dream #124 In a Heartbeat

Firstly let me apologise for the rotten picture, no matter which way I looked the mica shone!!
This time at Dragons Dream TIO Trace has chosen the theme "In a heartbeat" with the ingredients of a beating heart, a weathered timepiece and a bit of grunge.
I cut my tag out of Kraftcard and inked up with Distress Ink, followed by a liberal spraying of copper mica powder. The stamp is from the Artistic Stamper and coloured in using chalk pencils.
Flowers and Spidersweb were added,both sprayed with Mica and my beating black heart embossed around the edge. Pop over to join in the challenge via the link on my sidebar and please don't forget to use at least one real stamp. Elizabeth x
