I've been cardmaking for nearly 20 years and have gone through lots of different techniques. It took a long time to force myself to like stamping rather than thinking of it as a sometimes necessary evil but once I did that was it & almost all other forms fell by the wayside.

Ade's birthday today
It's Ade's birthday today & Tyria & I bought him a selection of pan pastels. He's looked at them before but they were a tad too expensive for his taste.. well a local craft shop is closing & they were all half price so we grabbed some quickly.
They didn't look much so I made a box to put them in. Nowt but grey board & gummed tape. The lid lifts off and the front drops down to allow easy access to 6 trays I made to hold the pastels.
In real life this looks like antique burgundy leather. Lots of diecuts & texture paste, painted many colours then covered with brown paint & inka golds. The whole thing is sealed with some of Primas new Art Basics gel medium which has given it a soft subtle shine.
