Starlight...

... yesterday was a moobag day for me... you know, do you ever have those days when you feel like a moobag, look like a moobag and mope about like a moobag? Well, that was me... mainly because the stooooopid pain levels are getting high and the even stooopider pain meds aren't quite working... anyways... I flopped about and huffed and puffed my way through the day and eventually found my way into the Room of Stash. Now, I can never be moobaggy when I am in the Room of Stash and I soon found myself getting thoroughly inky and messy and making this little Art Parts hanging. So... no more Mrs Moobag for me, the pain might still be here but I am not letting it get the better of me...



Anyways, it is no secret that I lurve all things Wendy Vecchi and Studio 490 stamps are my faves... in fact, the whole Studio 490 range are my faves, they can do no wrong!!! Naturally, because I cannot seem to craft without Distress Stains at the moment, they have made an appearance on this piece too... what I really should be doing is leaving them alone for a few days and remembering my other inks but... alas, I have found THE perfect inks in the Stains... I just need ALL the Distress Range in the Stains now :O))




So, this hanging is made as part of my DT for The Stamp Attic... oooh and while I think on... goodly news from The Stamp Attic DT... Ruby 2 Shoes has joined the team... her cards are fabbylush... HERE is a linky to the Stamp Attic blog where her latest card is showing. Oh... and... Wendy has just got some brand new brass charms in... they are to die for gorgeous... HERE they are... be warned though... stocks are getting low and they are so lovely you will want them all... (unlike me who didn't buy a single one.... no, I didn't... well, ok, I might have popped a few into my basket but sssshhh, that's between you and me lol)



Right... enough of the going off at tangents and digressions... this Art Part is one of the large Circle Frames and it was covered with Crowded Attic cardstock which was then given the Distress Stain treatment... using Broken China, Wild Honey, Fired Brick and Dusty Concord. The hanging stars stamp is totally inspired by Gillian... I saw her use them this way and I had to use them this way too!!! Aren't they just FAB? The star border is an Art Parts piece, covered again with paper and then coloured with Wild Honey and Fired Brick. I went a bit bonkers with Rock Candy Stickles - did I ever mention they are my faves?? Probably, I seem to repeat myself a lot.. I do... you know, repeat myself ;o))




The leaf is another Art Parts piece... coloured with Peeled Paint Stain... stamped with Olive Archival. The flower is layered up using Grungepaper and Clearly For Art (another fave product...) The centre of the flower is an ickle Maya Road Resin Bloom and there are some Maya Road Trinket Pins behind the flower. The hanging is actually an Idea-ology D Ring... yep, I saw this idea on Wendy's artwork and borrowed it... the idea... not the artwork (although that would be awesome!!) There are some Idea-ology Snaps on the stars and a Memo Pin with a Tassell hanging off it.. oh and an Ornate Frame... and a little Clearly For Art butterfly that has a chopped down Maya Road Heart Trinket Pin for a body. Phew... I think that is all...



Anyways... did I mention that I am popping away for a few days at the end of the month? I am sure that I must have mentioned it once... or...erm.. several hundred times... anyways... the countdown clock has hit 8 days!!! EIGHT DAYS!!! Chuffing chuff!!! I am all prepared too... I have my flight bag sorted, my tickets, my hotel and I am just about to go and make a Passport Holder... well, I was mooching around Accessorize on t'internet and saw some fabby ones that were like £12 and being as I am a skinflint I thought I would have a bash at making one... you might see it if.. and it is a big if... if it works well... otherwise, forget I ever mentioned it lol Right... time for me to go and get creating... tis gonna be a late one... thanks for looking... TTFN
