How To Make A Devil Badge

I was going to make a "trainee" devil badge for myself, but once I'd told my Mom and showed her the Sassy Studio digi she wanted one.  First up, print out your image. 

The devil cameo I used is already in a circle, so I just used the circle diecut closest to that size.  Then I cut out a larger circle from red card and since I had no black card, a larger scalloped circle.


The theme for the fancy dress party where this badge will be used is black and red. 

I inked the edges of everything! and rubbed some red metallic rub on stuff over the black.



I then stuck a saftely pin onto the back of the large scallop.  (I added my business stamp in case they get lost - you never know who will pick it up and go have a look at my shop).


Once all the layers are stuck together, this is what the badge will look like.  The size of the digi is about 3 inches.  I think the whole size is 4.5 inches.

It's raining right now, on the Queen's birthday.
We stayed home all day.  I dyed my Mom's hair a Very nice shade of .... Will post some pictures tomorrow. I think it looks lovely!
I finished the book I was reading (PJ Tracy's Snow Blind).

Tomorrow will be to work as normal.  I NEED to make some great cards and I need to craft!  The new copic markers and Neenah card I ordered from America has been posted so I will be obsessively checking the tracking number!!!!  I might go into town tomorrow to change some jeans.  I got some lovely new slouchy ones on Friday but they're too big.

On Wednesday Mom and P are going to ChristChurch for the annual conference (last years was in Hamilton) and I get to join them on Friday for a day.  We are going to Antarctica on Friday afternoon, a fancy dress party on Friday night and coming home on Saturday.

The 12 Month Challenge

This seems like an interesting challenge.  Can try out new ideas and crafts too. (Handmade paper, pieces of jewelry, illustrations, clothing – whatever you like, so long as the month’s theme is tied in some how).

Follow this link to join in.
Have you ever wondered about my favorite items are from Etsy?



I added some stamps today - I would love to have a bird stamp or punch.... need to wait a while until I can buy anything new...

I made these four cards today. First was this beautiful Birthday card.

This is a teeny tiny 4 inch square easel card with lots of dimension.  The green flower was hand cut from a 12x12 sheet of patterned paper.

I'm tempted to add glitter to the flower outlines on this card.  I love the simplicity! And the blues are just pure beautiful.  I might add some glitter.... super fine glitter that can get messy....

This Happy Birthday is one of my favorites.  I colored in the little girl with my copic markers. I hadn't planned on using her on this card.  I was trying to find some flowers instead - but they seem to have disappeared (or maybe I've used them all) and I found this little stamp between some other papers.
