Carioca

A gorgeous set I made a long while ago using AB crystals, beading wire, oval links and silver-plated chain, crimp beads, jewellery findings and pliers. I weaved the crystals in right-angle weave to create small cubes and used the crimp beads to hold them in place. The earrings have a ladder weave and end in a big loop.
Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day.

Un precioso set de bisutería hecho con cristales con terminado Aurora Borealis, alambre para collares, cadena plateada con eslabones ovalados, terminaciones plateadas y tenazas para joyería. Entrelazé los cristales usando tejido en ángulo recto para crear pequeños cubos y use chafas para asegurarlos en su lugar. Los aretes tienen un tejido escalera y terminar en un lazo grande.

Volando

A special card I made using my handmade roses, punched and inked leaves, free papers and sentiment, peel-off borders, foam pads, stickles and alphabet letters.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Arco

I made the roses from long strips of handmade paper and ordinary paper that I glue together to get the same colour on both sides. I punched the leaves and inked them to add more texture and detail. I used  a PM card blank, free papers, sentiment, stamp, gems and ribbon.

These were the latest jewellery I taught how to make at the past Belfast Creative Craft Shows last month. Simple and easy to make too. They both have glass beads and silver and gold plated findings.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Naranja Lively

This is the latest memo pad I cover with recycled papers, cards and free embellishments that came with a magazines ages ago. I covered it with self-adhesive clear plastic to make it more durable. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Libélula

This a design I made before but I added a few more things this time like flowers, buttons, and a peel-off sparky border. I used an Anita's stamp, watercolours, stickles, brads, wire, jewellery pliers, flower embellishments, foam pads, vellum, permanent markers and handmade papers.

Golden Oldies

This set is another one I made long ago but forgot to post as well - luckily I backed up my pictures! yay!
I used gold beading wire, glass and metallic-finish beads, and gun metal chain for the necklace. First I threaded the beads onto the beading wire and then crocheted. Next I  attached it to the chain to create more volume and dimension. I finished it off with a toggle clasp.
I made the ring using 0.8mm wire, the same beads and a round object instead of a mandrel (like glue stick) to create the shape.

Este set de bisuteria es otro que hice hace tiempo pero que me olvide de subir aqui - felizmente que guardé las fotos en un CD - yupui!
Para el collar usé cola de tigre/ alambre fino para collares dorado recubierto por plastico, cuentas de vidrio y metálicas, y cadena negra. Primero ensarté la cuentas en el alambre y luego hice cadena con crochet. El siguiente paso fue adherirlas a la cadena para darle mas volumen y dimensión. Lo terminé con un broche.
Hice el anillo con alambre de 0.8mm, las mismas cuentas y un objeto circular/redondo en vez de un medidor de anillos (como una goma en barra) para crear la forma.
Gracias por visitarme y que tengan un fin de semana genial!

De Pesca

I made this card for my husband's birthday last month. I stamped the image using brown Stazon and coloured it using watercolours pencils. I also used a glitter pen to highlight the fish fins. I matted and layered the image with black and green cardstock and then embossed it using a Cuttlebug embossing folder and  raised it using foam pads to create more dimension.  I die-cut the letters using the Olivia Alphabet set from CB and used free papers for the background; the greeting was also part of a different set of free papers.

Hice esta tarjeta para el cumpleaños de mi esposo el mes pasado. Estampé la imagen usando un tampón de Stazon y lo coloreé con lápices acuarelas. Tambien usé un lapicero con escarcha para resaltar las aletas del pez. Le puse capas a la imagen usando cartulina negra y verde y luego use un troquel/ folder de embossing de Cuttlebug para crear el repujado y lo levanté con foamis para darle mas dimensión. Corté las letras usando el alfabeto Olivia de Cuttlebug y use papeles que vinieron gratis con una revista para crear el fondo; el saludito tambien fue parte de otro set de papeles que vinieron gratis.
