I have been a little quiet on the crafting front as we stayed with my in-laws in the North East for Christmas, and then went to France for New Year. Since I got back last week, I have been making this project for
Gingersnaps, which I have enjoyed SO much! As there are lots of sections to it, I was worried about taking over their blog too much, so I thought I would post some of the individual pages and tags here, mainly just with captions, with the step by step tutorial over on Gingersnaps. Hope that will all make sense!
The stamps I have used are Oxford Impressions Bonbon and Afternoon Tea sets, Art Journey Celebrate, and Crafty Individuals CI 277.
Here's the final album, which has individual tags in each of the filter paper 'pockets':-
 |
| Two little girls in their best dresses, being taken to the chocolate shop |
 |
| A selection of tea and coffee advertisements stamped to look like a vintage newspaper |
 |
| Chocolate related images. I used gold pen for the chocolate cases |
 |
| The tea pot sits on a white crocheted coaster. The other images are on shrink plastic to be in scale in relation to the tea pot, on my imaginary tea table! The tiny beads create brown sugar. |
 |
| The little girl from Art Journey 'Celebrate' was a perfect fit to sit on the cup and saucer, again on a crocheted coaster. |
 |
| Cupid and hearts, with some tiny heart embellishments |
 |
| Kept this simple to show the chocolate wording in the paper! |
 |
More tea and coffee advertisments. I divided the 'poster' image into two sections, separating the images from the words
|
 |
| A tag with a little girl in her party frock, on shrink. The words at the bottom are on shrink, and the awning is German Scrap, from Crafty Individuals |
 |
| Chocolate related advertisements/logos |
 |
| A romantic couple taking tea together. The words have been used to frame the image. |
 |
| More tea advertisements |
 |
| The poster image, whole this time. Tea definition on shrink, bottom right |
 |
| Chocolate price list and chocolates. Paper cases coloured with gold pen |
