Some Brusho's, Some Oxides & Some Creating

Welcome to my blog, it's Mid Month for Stamping Sensations and We Love Chocolate Baroque challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges these could be the ones for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'I Love ..............' I love Gift Bags, Lavinia and Scenes.

So starting with a plain gift bag, I created a background using Dylusions and Oxides.  I built a scene with Lavinia stamps,  Highlighting and embellishing with a signo gel pen and some glitter.

We are really pleased to welcome a new sponsor this month who are offering one lucky winner as £25 store voucher, they have a super web site covering all styles of crafting so do go and check it out.

This is my second post for the team at the  Chocolate Baroque blog, and a creation from my first Tv show from last month in May. 

 To create this I used  Distress Oxides over a moon mask, I stamped my tree from Orchard tree set,  with Versafine Clair.  I sprinkled some brusho's lightly over the branches then with a fine mist added a little bit of water to activate the Brusho's.  I then added a sentiment from the set called Life Is So Much Better.
