Challenged!

I'm hoping I've managed to fulfil the criteria for the ABAC challenge.

This has taken me all week!  I guess it might help if I had any clue as to what I wanted to do when I start  - like that will happen: NOT.

This has essentially been put together with bits and bobs that have been sent to me, at least most of the papers,  plus some inspiration from other sources, and two freebies.

I started with the stamp,  which is by Crafty Individuals, who can be found on the internet: www.craftyindividuals.co.uk   Though I got the stamp from my local craft shop, it really is gorgeous and quite versatile.

Here she is in close up,  I like the use of the word 'imagine'.  The little girls face is also delightful,  sad in some ways.  It was stamped and then I added some UTEE to give it a nice glossy enamel finish.

The the spellbinders poinsettia, the die I was trying to buy from ebay!  It arrived yesterday.  I made good use of it,  cutting some from red card for this and some in just white for my mum's card.  The red ones got a good coating of UTEE and then some thick white powder

Finally these cute little candles, which came as a freebie from the Craft Barn,  that was for placing an order over £25, but it was a lovely surprise and a nice touch.   I frantaged these,  all three had the same powders sprinkled on them but all have come out different.   Loving the frantage thing,  was very tempted to grab one of the melting pots from CnC last week.  You almost tempted me Hels,  loved what you were doing, but with Christmas coming up I had to say no...  oh well next time my order will go in!
