I've been making things with my new dies again. The first is a Mickey and Minnie tag.
As well as paper piecing the two Disney dies, i used Disney paper for background. I also utilised a few Tim Holtz things; the foliage in the left hand corner which is coloured with distress inks and the cone is coated in clear embossing powder, the 3D star, and the snow is from the winter village die. That was embossed with holographic powder which is a great way of adding that sparkly snow magic to a piece.
I also made a Harry Potter themed card, using a patronus die, This was cut out of black card, and wax was used. I used a mixture of silver and blue for the stag, and a bit of gold for the wand. I was searching for a backing paper for it when i got my new craft box, which had the perfect one.
I also used wire mesh for the first time. This is netting made of wire mesh, that you can stretch and twist into any shape. I added some sea glass beads to it, as i wanted to keep the netting theme.
As you can see, the beads are inside the netting, but you can do it the other way too, you just need to finely twist the end of the mesh into a point before gluing it like that, so it can go through a bead.
Finally i have been working on the latest photo stitch. Here is where i am at right now.
Until next time,
Ems
