My Time To Craft GDT

Good morning! It's the weekend, huzza! I hope you're all having a bit of crafty 'me-time'.

It's time for another challenge at My Time To Craft and this week the theme is 'Kraft.' Use it for matting, embellies, your image - anything!

I had never coloured on Kraft before and I was a bit anxious how my inks would look on the darker background, but 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained' and with the help of This video by Kimberly Brown I had a go.



The Kraft is from a Papermania stack, it has a very pretty mottled appearance and a distressed grid pattern in white. The image is by Francoise Read for Woodware and is from the 'Flower Doodles' clear stamp set, I stamped in Versamark and embossed with opaque white powder and coloured with Spectrum Noirs.

The sentiment is LotV, matted onto the Kraft and glittered round the edges. The corner flourish is a Memory Box die that I got at Ally Pally and I glittered it, too.

Papers are 'Bonnets and Bowties' by Nitwits/LotV. So pretty! I matted them on more of the Kraft and used them on the inside, too:



Finally, the blue seam binding and blue gems are from stash.

Now go over to the blog and see the gorgeous work done by the DT and try out the Kraft too!!

So there it is, my last post for My Time To Craft and I have had a wonderful time! I was very nervous at first but the DT were so kind and welcoming - THANK YOU!!

with love, Mags B x

That is gorgeous, Mags! I too have seen quite a few examples of colouring on Kraft, but haven't tried it yet. Might just have a go this afternoon. I am determined to have some 'Crafty me-time'!

Hi Mags

Sorry .. .. I am late getting to this little beauty.

Loving your colouring on kraft .. . it looks really neat. I will have to have a little look at that video. Thanks for sharing.

Nearly ready for the "big move". Must admit he has done really well in parting with some of the junk he has been hoarding for I dread to think how long!!!

The hardest part has been finding strong cardboard boxes to pack into .. .. so start collecting Mags ready for September!!

Have a good day.

Love Jules xx
What a great make, and congratulations on the GDT spot. Lovely inspiration for the krafty challenge, thank you!
