Have you heard the Buzz Silk have hit the building

Hi there crafters

 i have been quite for few days

 when that happens it's because im playing with crafting goodies

THE NEW STAMP RANGE 

from 

Sheena Douglass

 will be staring along side the 

Luminart Silks

 launching over on 

Create and Craft the 16th November

your in for some exciting times with the Silks

 thought i would chat about the Silks

when they arrived i thought OK paint in a pot !!!

 this couldn't have been further from the truth

 they are concentrated color glazes with mica that are water soluble so easy clean up

they don't buckle paper when applied to even a page from a book and

dry very quickly too 

i got set 6  and set 4 to play with

 

set 6 are to me Christmas colors

Cardinal red Mallard green Emperor's Gold

set 4 are Autumnal with long side a jar of the Ice 

these are swatches are straight from the pots from set 6

 to card stock see how they glimmer

they can be layered on top of one another you don't get mud 

a dream to work with they truly are 

i love them 

great for card makers scrap booker's and artist

in fact the possibilities of Silk are endless you can go direct to stamp with the silks sponge and stencil with no bleed under too

 throw silks with all the other crafting goodies from your stash                                                    the world is your oyster 

so you have seen the silks 

now for my card using 

the Coastal Stamps from Sheena using set 4

 i made the background paper with the colors from set 4 then stamped out the image with memento inks colored with my spectrum noirs and added the ice over the top to  give it some sparkle

the best bit was  after applying the ice i went back into darken some area's off the boat with my pens how great is that you can use pens over the silks the anchor was a dull silver  die cut 

so i added the 3 colors on top and heat embossed in clear  for that extra shine

 simply matted and layered onto black card  

from 

Crafters Companion with dew drops to finish

i do hope you will join me again 

thanks for dropping by
