Reverse Whatsitsname!

Hey! Hope you're having a good day!

I was lucky enough to have a day in the beautiful Lake District. Being surrounded by gorgeous scenery and gardens made me think of this stamp set and I wanted to try a little reverse dimension.

I've used the Lawn Fawn 'Gleeful Gardens' set- which is just the cutest

 I wanted to start with the largest image at the top and then add the elements getting smaller behind it.This picture gives you an idea of what I mean.

To be honest, once I'd made it, I wished I'd just created two circular frames and added the elements after. Instead I just cut out around the images which was less precise. I added 3D foam behind each layer.

I've tried googling and asking what this technique is called. I thought it might be pyramage; but it isn't. Reverse decoupage is about the best I could come up with, so if any of you know, please enlighten me!

Sweet and simple from me this week. Do give this one a go- it's an easy way to make scenes without really trying!

See you next week!

Those Two Little Words that are so hard to say !

Hello!
How are you? Had any arguments or misunderstandings lately?!!

Need to say those words often hard to say?
I'm sorry,
or I messed up?

Well, even if you don't (ha!), this card has the beginnings of an idea suitable for other occasions and is using the fabulously geeky My Favorite Things Undeniable Chemistry stamp set

plus this matching Chemistry Set which is also a stand alone die set too!

It's a super simple idea- the spilled flasks reacting together; when things go wrong and tempers run over and stuff spills out (No? You really have no idea what I'm talking about ;-P )

Anyhow, I just created a 'u' shaped ledge and stacked the vials using 3d foam pads. Angling them on your table first to see where the line of the liquids would lie is really useful.

I created the spill using alcohol ink markers, but I think if I recreated this, I'd use watercolour. I've tried to mix them at the bottom and simply added some sequins as 'bubbles'.

Before I go, I thought I'd show you what I gave the kids for Valentine's Day as I'd not used these little envelopes and they're so good, I needed to share!

I've used the ever-cute Lawn Fawn Gleeful Gardens

Plus the Lil'Inker Designs Glassine Envelopes

Well, whatever the message you need to send, Seven Hills Crafts has you covered!!

Have a lovely day and see you next week,

Keren xx
