I've actually made something this week which is a step forward from last week. Before I get onto that, here is the stitch update.
As I said, I've made something this week. I had a hot air balloon kit from craft box, so I started by painting it brown and assembling it. I then used rice paper to cover it in sections, and sprayed that with tin holtz distress ink sprays. I fortified the balloon with washi tape, which I also used to cover the basket. I then added some black lace on the balloon and the basket. I added some resin pieces that were coated with gold or silver wax, then die cut a load of flowers. These were coloured blue, and edged with black before assembling and adding to metallic leaves. Finally I sprayed some butterflies. I was going to coat them entirely but I liked the patchy effect. Oh almost forgot, I die cut a fan from card to add to the basket.
I've got a few things planned, but they might take a while. Still I should always have something for the blog!
Off topic, after the disastrous new years resolution I decided to do a monthly challenge for each of the last month's of the year. So this month's is to not have any takeaways. The first test will be on Friday cos at work we always have a Chinese at the end of our long week! Wish me luck!
