Good morning Lovelies and welcome to my final post of May.
Here are the rest of the samples I made for the shows on The Craft Store TV last month.
My first project is a Journal page.
I started by heat embossing in white on the topper and a spare piece of card, I cut the circles using a circle cutter in different sizes and blended Distress inks over the embossed background which created a resist, and randomly stamped parts from the same set using Versafine Claire ink and edged with Black Soot Distress ink, I repeated the same technique for the topper but also splattered some water and dried it to create some texture, I stamped the Mushroom on a another piece of card and used Distress inks to colour it, and then decoupaged it. I used a white gel pen to add some dots and lines for finishing touches and a bit of splattering too, I used a charcoal grey Inktense pencil to create a drop shadow, it really gives it that 3D look.

I used a Die to create this card which has a cross stitch fabric type effect but it’s card! I used low tack tape around the edge to create a frame and stamped the Mushroom, I masked it using Masking Tissue from the CB website, I then heat embossed in white the Seed Pods and blended Distress inks over the top, removed the tissue and used Inktense pencil to create drop shadows.
I stamped my Envelope with Distress Oxides and Versafine Clair inks.
My Bookmark was a scrap of card from my stash which had been a Gel press print, I stamped lightly using Distress Oxide inks to create some texture, I also had some Acetate in my stash which I had already coloured with Alcohol inks so I used that as an uneven overlay, the pocket watches are heat embossed with a variety of chunky embossing powders and stamped into, cut out and stuck on.![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-rbEEmi3SA9J0Sh_aMliXKif5ro27KOzjeNPrAfi3g4owsvGdmTp1inCXBJOzswij3o)
Simple stamping with Distress Oxides on my next Bookmark
And for the last 2, simple stamping and masking.![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/ZPfJEEIpQfcz2Do4fXCM_E4jHPCahgMa987ZEBvy6ePDeBRER5zLbGJhP0-XAkz6xZo)
