So, on my desk this week is my heat proof mat with some hot glue skull and cross bones and cogs that I have made ready to decorate my "Truvia" sweetner box (hidden at the back) that was on my desk last week. The box is drying at the moment (I love multi medium as a glue but it really does take overnight to dry!) so I hope to post the finished box and another tutorial (I really cannot fathom youtube!) on how to make the hot glue embellishments later this week.
I thought I would show you the snowman that my hubby decided to make....
The great thing about the snow is that I don't feel gulity about staying in at the weekend, catching up on housework and of course, rewarding myself with some serious craft time.
If you saw my stencil tutorial on my last post, I thought I would share with you the 'mop up' page.
This is the page I pressed the leftover of my inky stencils onto. I really liked the page (I find it difficult to leave white space, I love the effect, but it is something I am really going to concentrate on experimenting with during 2013). I then did some scribbles in black ink. It does actually say something meaningful (to me at least) but I have tried to scribble it to disguise the words a little. For a leftover page I am really pleased with this.
Stay safe and warm and happy crafting

Morning Kyla - love the hot glue embellishments- I haven't heard of this so I will watch out for the tutorial. Hubbies snow sculpture is fab. We took our dog for a walk in the snow and were very amused to see him give a snowman a wide berth....he wasn't sure at all!!! ;-) Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 42
ReplyDeleteYou're pleased with it? You should be, there'snothing to suggest 'leftover' about that page to me, it looks totally fab. Love the tikki head, all goes to my theory about the snow causing the cave man to emerge!
ReplyDeleteawesome looking mop up page! I think that it looks a lot better then some of my on purpose pages. I like to write things on my pages but don't like people reading them. I may try your 'scribble' techniques! Have a great week. Thanks for sharing. Vickie #35

Love the way your mop up page turned out - sometimes they're the best aren't they! Chris@86
ReplyDeleteGreat mopping up! I love the scribbling, too. Have a good week - I have had enough of the snow now, but luckily it seems to have at least partly gone from my road so I may be able to ditch the wellington boots soon! I fell in non wellies a couple of years ago and am now very careful! Helen, 9
ReplyDeleteSome lovely bits on your desk I shall look back to see the finished item. Not so sure about the snowman

Your leftover page is really nice! White space is a challenge, but you should really be pleased with the space you left on your page. The snowman is definitely scary. ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!

Hi Kyla,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your Truvia box. I use Truvia too and actually have kept a few of the boxes -- they are just too good to throw in the trash.
The cards looks interesting. Are they from a game?
The tiki snowman looks great! Your husband should be proud!
Happy WOYWW
Hugs,

Loving up the mop up page, lovely. Love the scribblings too, always love pages with words embedded into them. Laughing at the cards, always fun. And the snowman is fab! I nearly didn't post today as am struggling, but didn't want to miss out, might suffer withdraw symptoms!! Take care Zo xx 139
ReplyDeleteYour DH is quite the artist!
ReplyDeleteYour page is amazing...amazing that it was created from mopping up the other page...beauty does lie in the little things!
Hi Kyla,
ReplyDeleteI really love the fact you have used your mop up page. It would be a shame not to have used it.
Your hubby looks like he had fun too. Crafts cover all forms of artistic talent.
Regards,
