Claritystamp blog challenge 36 - Love - mid challenge post

Mid challenge post

Hi there  back again with a mid season challenge post for the love theme.

I lined up a piece of parchment and did a heart in the centre.

next I used the border from the art nouveau poppy plate to go around the heart.  I added nested squares then using the border and corner from  one of the line sentiments to create the frame

I added some grid work .

on another piece of parchment I did another heart  the same size.  Added the words using the plate mate and used the full stop to add some random dots in the background.  I pierced around using a two needle tool and snipped it out  I used some glue behind the embossing on the words to stick it to a piece of red card cut to the same size heart,  

groovi dt samples - rose and trellis

IT'S FRIDAY!

(not that it makes much difference to me as I am retired - well supposedly as I am very busy hahaha)

I did blog all this once before lunch from my phone - I was testing it out - but it finished up and the Claritystamp dt blog which is what we use to gather all the pictures together for the challenge blog!!  I have no idea how that happened lol but I had to delete it!  So now I am on the laptop

Thought I would blog last of my samples for Maria's last show on Hochanda.

Looking forward to seeing Paul on Sunday he's on at 10, 2 and 5

So my last sample uses the lovely new rose plate and the trellis plate

I started with the nested squares and made a frame.  I then lined up my parchement on a grid and pierced three rows around the edge - 1 for snipping and two for decoration.

I went back to the platemate and added the rose plate followed by the trellis to fill in the background.

I did a bit of white work and colouring with SN pencils from the back 

I also used a 4 needle piercing tool to go in the blank bits of the trellis.

Yesterday's workshop over in Fleetwood went well and I am going back on 6th February to do a groovi demo.

Have a great weekend 

groovi dt samples - Altered Annabel

hello again 

I started with Annabel but didn't want to use all her frock - so I altered it by extending the plain section then I used the bottom with the frill and started in the middle then extended it to meet the sides of the skirt.  I did the same again to make the border but without the lace then inserted some hearts from the Lily border plate   I then used the nested oval to frame herd, then the nested squares to form a rectangle around the edge, added some background from the landscape plate - some little birds from the plate mate. I used the large accent to create a "ribbon" behind the oval ,  then used the edge of the border on the plate to form the edge of the oval .

I added some parts of the large accent in the corners.  and filled in the frame randomly with bits from the border

I pierced around the edge and snipped it out.

I created a larger rectangle and again used the lacy  edge around the frame and again snipped around.  mounted it on brown pearly card
