In House Birthday 2016

Another weekend is nearly here. I hope you have something nice planned. I shall be going to the craft show at Ally Pally on Saturday. Lots of fun with friends and crafty spending. A perfect way to spend the weekend.
I have lots of cards that I have made over the summer that I haven't shown you yet. Today is a card that I made for the wonderful craft shop where I teach mixed media. In House Crafts in Milford Haven. They recently celebrated their fifth birthday.

I used an image I've had for years and lots of mixed media techniques. The blue/green layers were created with sprays. For the peach layer I used a homemade coloured texture paste through a TH flourish stencil onto an acrylic painted background.

The image is from Sassy Studios and I coloured her with Copics before matting on to Kraft card. I then sprinkled on some Frantage.

The clock is a Marianne die. I coloured the card with DIs and added some sprays and gold Frantage. The hands have been gilded.

The birdcage die is from Spellbinders and was gilded after cutting and then randomly dabbed with paint. I made the flowers from painted card and dipped them, and the bead centres, in Frantage.

The sentiments were computer generated. Lastly, I coloured seam binding ribbon, tied a floppy bow and added a resin flower.
I hope you all enjoy your weekend. I'm really looking forward to mine.
