I'm officially in love.......

Hi Best Blogging Buddies

Sorry for my enforced absence, (no one mention new kitchens please..)  Anyway, here I am back with an a card using my new very very favourite crafting accessory that I'm so in love with....  FRANTAGE!!  Apologies again, because this post is going to be picture heavy....  but you just have to see it to appreciate it!

I have tried to photograph it in different lights, so you can see how it shines!! 

Card description...  I used an LOTV fairy... 'Garden of Wishes', and I loved her dress and wings!!  Stamped with Black Memento ink - coloured with a mix of copics and promarkers... sprinkled with glamour dust....  THEN came the alchemy!!  I bought these little pots of wonder at the Harrogate show, and I can't remember who from - but it can be bought from The Stamp Man HERE!  They laid tucked away until I saw Create and Craft on Monday this week, with a lady called Fran from Stampendous demo-ing it.  LUSH I thought....  then remembered my little package!!  YESSSSSSS I thought!  You don't even have to use versamark...  although I did for the edges.  All you do is sprinkle a touch from the various pots where you want the effect to be, and heat from the underneath.  I can't describe how fabulous the effect is in real life..... I tried to capture it in the last pic - as I altered the way my OTT light was shining onto it to get some of the effect.  YOU LIKE???  Take a look on YouTube - just put in Frantage and it'll come up with lots of fab videos. 

Other materials used are Prima Marketing Fairy Flora DP, Seam Binding from Stash, Sentiment from Pink Petticoat cut with  Memory Box Die, Flowers from WOC, and of course a bit of trusty old Bazzil! 

Now....  lastly, I did another heart in a frame (yes another heart...)  This time with rolled roses which were hand cut, not from a die.  I also put a little sentiment printed from the PC on it.  This (and the button one) was inspired by the lovely Vicky at Blush Crafts......  though I think I may have found it on Pinterest via Vicky! 

Take care all....  I'm back up to my craft room in the morning to try to get some stuff back in it - wouldn't you know that the floorboards in there had to come up for the boiler man when he was replacing!  SOOOO all that stuff (Christine and Lisa know just how much..) had to go into another bedroom!  My back will never be the same again!

Bye for now
Big Big Hugs
