Today's blog post is a little different. I am not sharing a step by step, although I have taken plenty of close up photos of my finished project, because the idea is not mine but belongs to Maria Moorhouse. I do have her permission to share pictures of my finished project I can highly recommend her monthly workshops at Shrewsbury, Catterick and Preston where she shares ideas for cards and mixed media projects and she will be holding a Groovi workshop in January in Shrewsbury for the first time. We always complete at least four card projects during each workshop.
Although I finished this project at home, I took everything that I needed to finish it away from last month's workshop with me and had completed the bulk of the work there.
It is an Advent Book and holds chocolate gifts for December for my son and his girlfriend who hosted an amazing family firework party at the weekend.
I can't recommend Maria's workshops highly enough for value for money and fabulous ideas. She can be contacted via Facebook if you would like to book a place or find out more about her workshops.
Two weeks in a row - I don't know what's up with me. Actually I do; when my best friend comes round to craft with me in the shed I always get more done! So I will be sharing not only what is on my side of the workbench, but her side too. You can head over to Julia's Stamping Ground to see what everyone else is up to!
My side of the workbench is staged as I am working on a new baby card for a colleague who recently had a beautiful baby boy; I don't want to spoil the surprise, so I have simply shown some of the materials which I will use/ have used to complete the card. Watch this space for details once the card has been delivered.
My best friend has come to keep me company today. She is working on her first mixed media piece, using offcuts of mount board as a base and loads of embellishments and die cuts for texture.
Once all the elements have been glued into place, she will gesso over them before adding colour.
