Raise your Glass…
Hello, here is my second post today to introduce the new challenge for the month of July over at
CRAFTY BLOGGERS NETWORK
The sponsor kindly giving a wonderful prize of a $20 gift certificate is the talented artist Heather Valentin of Lacy Sunshine Stamps
Challenge 13, METAL MAGIC
for the month of July we are asking you to include something metal, or resembles metal, on your crafty project. We look forward to seeing your creations.
I would like to congratulate the new members of our Design Team, and we will be treated next week, in a post where they will introduce themselves to you.
For my inspiration today for you, I have used an image from the Gnomes of Gnarly Wood collection, known as Boozy Brian – who could resist such a character……LOL?
The metal I have included is in the form of eyelets, representing bubbles. I have also created the background separately using stamps by Hero Arts and Clarity Stamp, stamped very lightly with grey momento and coloured with promarkers.
