New Funky Fossil Designs By Me!

 Hello dear Readers

Sorry for the "radio silence" over the past 3 months... but I have been concentrating on running my webste and making video classes to load every Friday, plus traveling a lot.

Included in those travels, was a visit to the UK back in September when I was invited by Sarah from Funky Fossil to join her on the TV channel Create and Craft to launch my latest designs. Of course I jumped at the opportunity and loved the whole experience.

These are the new Characters in the Steampunk menagerie line up.  The Clockwork Woodland crew and the Fabulous Feathers crew.  I had fun playing with the old and new characters to see what new looks could be created as you can see below:

I always love a vintage vibe and made the woodland crew into a cepia photo look!

For this mini canvas I used the new Marvelous Machinery die to make my own foam stamp and then I also die cut some foam to raise the middle paper piece.  This die shape matches the mask stencil fro the April release.  I used that in the backgroun over the woodgrain paper.

Here you can see the raised foam center piece.

In this release there are pipe alphabet and numbers.  I have made sure that you can write words like Happy, Chrismas, Merry etc with enough letters for the word to put on your block.  To create the Happy Birthday above, I have used 2 stamp sets as there is only one H per set.  I also die cut the foam to make my own stamp to use for the drop shaddow in the card below.

I used the number stamp as a background stamp for this tag.

This is another way to use the alphabet with only one set to stamp in one go.

New to this release is the set of Wow embossing powders called Timeless.  they are really fantastic.

This art journal page was created using the copper mine for the word Steampunk on the die cut letters.

Here I am getting ready for the shows.  I took some fun outfits to present in. 

Above you can see me with Yiannis  and below with my good friend Sam who was my host and taxi driver for the week-end... as well as my boss lady Sarah.

No trip to the studios is complete without the obligatory photo in the famous giant chairs...

Red and Blue...

I was lucky to meet Leonie too

We were in Studio 1

The design team made such awesome samples.  

I really value their time and effort to make and send these to Sarah.

This was my view across the room as they were doing their show.  The little bots are the TV cameras!

Matching necklaces...

It is like moving house... so much stuff to take with for 2 shows...
