Christmas at last!!!

Well well well here I am ....LONG overdue and muchly sorry!!

It's been a crazy few weeks at Casa Fairefoxes and sadly the poor bloggage has taken a back seat BUT I have just about made it in to show some final Christmas orders!

These are some Plaques I was asked to complete all bespoke and as you can see varied lol!!

Some simple mixed media, paints, gel mediums, texture pastes, stamping, stencilling and embossing went into these....

Hope they go down well with the recipients .....

Right off to finish the rest of the orders and my remaining Christmas presents while Fe heads off in search of a Christmas mousey

Have a good Sunday everyone!!

Crafty Christmas Cheers for now

Popping by this afternoon to share a little more Chocolate Baroque.....and yes I have made a start on my Christmas cards!!!

I have kept it simple here by only using Brusho's to stamp and to colour with but adding a little subtle shimmer with my Clear Wink of Stella - a MUST have for the festive cards.

available from Hobby Art here

All the stamps I have used are available here I have used Winter Church (though it will cover all seasons!!!) ; The gift of Christmas and Snowy Penguins :-)

Finally if you like the Brusho's (shown below as a stamping medium) they are available from Oysterstamps

I hope you like today's offerings :-)

Chocolate Baroque Mackintosh with a Wink of.........

Hi guys!!

Very very quick post this evening as been super busy!!

Had a quick with Wink of Luna/Stella pens and the Chocolate Baroque Mackintosh stamps.

Both pens work like watercolour so they can be layered to add depth as I have done before triple embossing. I do wish the shimmer/sparkle was easier to photo!!!

I tried!! 

Sorry it's not great, hope you like this quickie - enjoy your evening!! 

See you all tomorrow

Crafty cheers for now

Nature's inspiration with Chocolate Baroque......

Howdy doody?? 

I am on a roll this week lol :-)

Creative juices are working overtime - though finding what I need in the Craft Lab is still challenging me lol!

Inspiration for today's offerings comes from all the beautiful Cherry Blossoms and Apple blossoms in the village just now - I adore the delicate nature of them.....

The stamps are from the wonderful Essence of Nature set ( yes again!! ;-) lol) from Chocolate Baroque - available HERE. 

This time I have simply decorated them with Cosmic Shimmer Pearl drops available HERE

This second sample uses the fabby Wink of Stella pens (Pink) from Zig (grab 'em from Hobby Art HERE)  which I used to colour the background card and to stamp with before edging with Shaded Lilac distress ink for that spring colour theme. 

Once all that was done I ran the whole image though the Ebosser in the Hexagonal embossing folder (HERE) for extra interest :-)

I hope you like today's offerings - it would be lovely to know what you think - so please feel free to leave a comment below

Right off to have brekkie and do some more creative experimentation......have a good day!!!

Crafty cheers for now

Serenity

Well the day of rest is on us.......for some maybe!! 

I am still doing battle with the craft room redesign n my head is all over the place lol!!

So I decided that some calmness was required.....

This card uses a colour scheme of Victorian Velvet, Pumice stone and Peacock feathers and the gorgous Essence of Nature stamps from Chocolate Baroque.

I love the calm serenity of these colours and the sentiment....

Forget not that

the earth

delights to feel

your bare feet

and the winds

long to play

with your hair....

So on that note of peace I will leave you to enjoy a restful day :-)

Thank you for taking the time to stop by

Crafty cheers for now

Chocolate Baroque Butterflies.......

Hello Bloggers! Happy Hump Day!!

Picking it up now 2 posts in 2 days eh?? lolol!!

I had an hour's play time yesterday so I got bright and breezy with the baby wipe technique again - this time with distress inks.....

The cross mask is another from Green Pepper Press and the gorgeous butterfly tree stamp is Essence of Nature from Chocolate Baroque....

A while ago I had a Gelli session and created this butterfly from a Splodgeaway mask, the tag is made with the rusted enamel technique so I combined the two and finished off the the Chocolae Baroque stamps again :-)

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like todays makes

Crafty cheers for now
