Handmade Embelishments

We had some wonderful entries in our Monochrome challenge - thank you everyone that entered. The latest Craft-Room challenge has been chosen by Maria and she would like you all to make your own embellishments to decorate your work.

I started with a card blank that has three apertures and some black card. I stamped some script on the black card with Versamark and embossed it with gold, then I adhered it behind the apertures.
I made the Friendly Plastic hearts by melting the plastic in a heart mold. When they had cooled down I adhered them to the card. I tied some gold cord around the fold. The words are rub ons that I found in my stash.
I don't know the make of the stamp that I used.

The rest of the Design Team have made some fabulous samples, you can see them on the Craft-Room Challenge Blog.

I'm entering my card into the following challenge.

Buttons and Bows

It's time for another Craft-Room Challenge and it's the talented Debi who has chosen the theme this fortnight and she has chosen Buttons and Bows.

At the Craft Barn Extravaganza the other week I watched Jean Hardy from Crafty Individuals demonstrating with Transfer Artist Paper, so I spent my money and decided to try it out on my card.
I edged my card blank with victorian velvet and aged mahogany Distress Ink. I adhered a piece of Kraft Resist paper and some lace. I stamped the image onto the Transfer Artist Paper and transfered it onto my piece of material with a hot Iron. I frayed the edges and adhered it to the card. I embellished the card with ribbon and buttons. I made the heart by melting some friendly plastic into a heart mould. The stamp that I used is by Crafty Individuals. For the sentiment I used a stamp from Sam Poole's Art Sayings.

Our sponsor for the challenge is the lovely Liz Welch from Rarebird and the prize for the challenge is a fabulous Friendly Plastic kit.

I hope you have fun with the challenge and I'm looking forward to seeing your creations. Why not visit the Craft-Room to see what the rest of the talented Design Team have made.
