CREATIVE FLIGHT FRAME

Hi all Kat here,
I have my first project of the month
ready to share with you,
using the fabulous FREE STAMP SETS
Icicles Border & Snowflakes
all you have to do is place an order in December
& one will be sent out to you, how fab is that!

so here's what I have created with mine,

I have had the frame (a boot sale find)

for a couple of years & never used it,

I came across it in a frantic search for Christmas stash

& thought today's the day (lol)

It was already gold leafed so, a perfect base

as I wanted my finished piece to be,

gold, brown, silver & cream.

Here are some close ups of each section,

I will talk through what I did as we go,

I started by cutting a piece of white card to

fit the aperture, then blended

Antique linen Distress Ink all over,

then I stamped the FREE Snowflakes stamp

 with Versamark ink & heat embossed

it with clear powder.

I then blended Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink

over then wiped off the excess to reveal lovely crisp snowflakes

I cut the reindeer from the  Raindeer flight die

out of grunge board & coloured him with

Brushed Corduroy DI then added 3 little bells

& some raffia around his neck.

I glued Scrabble tiles to spell the word Xmas,

& glued a snowflake cut from gold card &

the Movers & Shapers Mini Snowflakes die & added

a metal star tree embellishment I had in my stash,

for this section I cut the card to fit the aperture

then blended Antique linen Distress Ink all over,

& stamped the Music background stamp

very lightly with the Antique Linen DI

I then blended Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink all over

I cut 2 snowflakes from gold card &

the Movers & Shapers Mini Snowflakes die

& then cut them in half & glued them as shown

above, I added a star embellishment from my

stash to finish.

For both these sections I used one piece of card

to fit both apertures & again coloured with

Antique linen Distress Ink all over,

& this time I stamped the Stipple Background Stamp

very lightly with the Antique Linen DI

& then blended Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink

all over, again I used the

 Movers & Shapers Mini Snowflakes die

but this time I made an embellishment

& added a gem to the centre,

& for the other section I added a metal tree.

This last section is made in exactly the same

way as the  first one, but using the

free Icicles Boarder stamp,

& a padded star embellishment.

I used an Ornate Book Plate 

to finish off & added the numbers cut from

the vintage market strip die.

WOW didn't I go on, that was a bit long winded,

Sorry about that (lol)

hope you like my creation,

See you on the 15th with my next project.
