A Bit of Aqua

I'm getting ahead of myself at the moment, but I wanted to do these because aqua is a colour I really enjoy working with. They're for the DoCrafts colour swap in June (turquoise/aqua).
The top one is a stamped image and fusible film background. I love the way the fusible film has turned out on this one. I didn't get on with it the first few times I tried, but am glad I persevered.

The second one is Friendly Plastic with mesh, wire, gems and accent beads on a stamped background with a bit of shimmer spray. I'd originally intended to use the Friendly Plastic piece on the fusible film background, but when I put them together I found that the background was a bit overpowering and took the eye away from the Friendly Plastic, so I decided on a simpler background with the Friendly Plastic and a small stamped image with the fusible film so that the background is the main feature. These were great fun to do!

Back in the Swing of Things

I'm still suffering from a nasty cold/flu lurgy, but I do seem to be gradually improving at last. I've decided it's time to force myself to get back in the swing of things, so have started by doing what I love best - experimenting.

This is an ATC made using a combination of Friendly Plastic and fusible film with a few accent beads thrown on for good measure. The background was made using a combination of tissue paper, Brilliance inks, Glitz Spritz sprays and silver embossing powder (well, I DID say I was experimenting).
