Slightly rusty but still pretty

Here's another of my samples - 

A journal cover.

I couldn't make up my mind when I made this whether to keep it pretty with a bit of  sparkle or to go rusty grunge. So I did a bit of both 😁

I used the new rose embosser from Katy Sue Designs and some Starlight paint and some Rusty patina paint both from Imagination crafts.

Sneaky peek 3

Day 3 samples using the dragon eyes mould and claws mould by Katy Sue Designs

On this one you can see the effect from the full mould, both left and right eyes. The horn like eyebrows are actually made from another Katy Sue mould, the unicorn lashes and horn mould.

And all the texture on the stems of both glasses was created using their continous bark mould.

You can see the way I painted the eyes in this close up and all the raised detail from using the mould.

I bet you cant wait till 29th Jan now, so you can get your hands on these incredible moulds.

But just incase your still thinking about it,

Check in tomorrow to see some more inspiration

Katy Sue Designs sneaky peeks 1

So here as promised is the first of my samples using the Katy Sue Designs new moulds. As you can see theres a dragons eye and three claws. The full eye mould is actually 2 eyes, left and right. 

This sample is a box canvas, and is a homage to Smaug the dragon waking up in the dwarfs treasure hall from the story "The Hobbit"

I used hearty clay in the moulds. Then once dry painted the eye using acrylic paint and Starlight paints on the surround and also on the claws.

I stencilled the canvas with texture paste and added jewels, coin charms and some very bright plastic pirate coins that I painted over and used gilding wax to tone them down.

Hope you like it :)

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think

Pop by tomorrow for another sample or two.

Dont forget to watch the show on Hochanda at 6pm and 8pm Tuesday 29th Jan and at 9am, 1pm and 5pm Wednesday 30th Jan

I hope its ok to enter this into

Guest Design Team Member

I'm so excited to tell you my news.

I was contacted in October by Antony Minnis, the creative director at Katy Sue Designs, he said he admired my work and asked if I would like to be a guest on their design team and make some samples using some new moulds they were in the process of designing. Of course I jumped at the chance and was sent a couple of the most amazing moulds a few weeks later. 

So I have been doing lots of secret crafting making samples which I am not allowed to share yet, but I will be sharing them with you next week, from Tuesday.

 I love Katy Sue Designs products and have used their moulds in my crafting for a number of years, my latest favourite being the gorgeous unicorn, which you have seen used in my crafting already on here. 

Just in case you missed it, here's some pics

Such a beautiful and detailed design dont you agree? They have since brought out a smaller version as well.

Thanks for visiting today and dont forget to call again all next week, as I will be showing the samples I made with the Katy Sue Designs new moulds. Six days of sneaky peeks starting on Tuesday.

They will be available to buy as a One Day Special on Hochanda, in shows starting at 6pm on Tuesday 29th January and throughout the day Wednesday 30th and believe me, they are not to be missed.
