Boys Will Be Boys

Good morning all!

With my latest card I thought I could use my brick and men embellishments I mentioned in my earlier post to go on it, have not done so yet as I only just thought about it, but will do! Also this is the first card that I have made that is solely for kids, or for big kids :-)  I do not seem to have many stamps that are for children and am hoping Stampin' Up! will produce some more, there is a new catalogue coming out in June so cannot wait to see what is in it.

I was looking at Pinterest, again, and got some ideas regarding the use of opaque embossing powders on black card. I had never really thought you could get colours that are opaque as all of my embossing powders were translucent on coloured card and very pale. However, I saw this and thought I must go online and see, and there you have it brightly coloured powders in green, yellow, glow in the dark, blue, etc all in opaque colours I was in heaven! So I purchased a few and as you see above there is one of my creations, I have no doubt though you will see more from these embossing powders he he cannot wait and watch this space...

So all the stamps I used (Robot, Bricks and Sentiment) were all from the Boys Will Be Boys Wood Mount Stamp Set and can be purchased on the below link:

Melting Pot & Embossing Powders!

Hellooooo

This is going a little bit off topic from stamping but I dug out my Melting Pot from underneath all my cardstock and decided to do a little melt embossing.

I had ordered some new moulds a while ago and wanted to give them a go, having a 5 month old does not give me much time for stuff like that as it is quite a time consuming hobby but my lovely husband gave me some time to myself whilst he looked after the little one for a couple of hours, so I managed to get a lot done!

I had some moulds that looked like lego men and bricks and making embossing liquid colours of blue and red to fill them was fun and they turned out looking quite good. I also put some key ring chains that I had spare into some of them so hopefully they are held in firmly.

I also found some gold and silver embossing powder that I had in my stash so thought wouldn't it be cool to have some lego pieces in these colours and I think they look brilliant.

 I also have some flower moulds so poured the excess liquid into these, which turned out really nice and will glue them and make them into rings and brooches. I love the idea of making my own jewellery and the reason I made the bricks, men and flower pieces is that I can use them as embellishments on my cards, which no other cards will have.

Anyways until next time :-) ...
