I think I can speak for the whole of the That’s
Crafty! Design Team when I say we are all beyond excited to be taking part in
this collaboration with the Relics and Artifacts Ambassadors.
I must say a special thanks to Lynne Moncrieff and
Sandra Evertson for making this collaboration happen and a big thank you to all
the Relics and Artifacts team.
We have a week of fabulous projects coming up,
starting Monday 24th April and ending on Sunday 30th
April. The week will showcase how fantastically well the Relics and Artifacts and That’s Crafty! Surfaces work together.
Each day there will be a post from a That’s Crafty!
Design Team member and a Relics and Artifacts Ambassador and the blog posts
will go live every day at 11.00am GMT and 6.00am EST.
We hope you will join in the collaboration each
day, as there will be two very special prizes! One lucky winner will receive a Gift
Certificate for £25 from That’s Crafty! and the other lucky winner will receive 3 sets of Relics and Artifacts Matte Resin Craft Blanks of their choice, from Relics and Artifacts!
Here’s what you have to do for a chance to win:
1. Visit both blogs each day and leave a comment.
2. Become a follower of the That’s Crafty! blog.
It’s that easy! The winners will be picked at
random on Tuesday 2nd May 2017.
We have a fantastic project from Moira to start off our collaboration.

I do
love wearing jewellery, but being built on the well upholstered side, small
necklaces tend to get lost on me, mainly down the cleavage! So I wondered “just how big can I go with a
piece of statement jewellery?” and this is the result.
I gave
the Arch Upright a coat if texture paste through the stencil. When dry I added
the orange/yellow, violet/blue and red/blue paints, with the gold wax around
the edge and over the raised stencil area.
I gave
the egg a coat of the blue/green paint then stamped the dots with Versamark
around the base of the egg, added the Stamp n Bond, heated it and applied the gold
foil. I attached the egg to the Upright. I coloured the Sparrow with the violet
blue paint and added a hint of the gold wax and attached it to the egg.
Although
the necklace was a good size I felt it needed more so I coloured the Chandelier
with the same Dyna paints as the Upright and coloured a small bird charm with
the green/blue paint and gold wax and attached it to the Chandelier and
attached that to the upright.
Two
holes drilled into the Upright allowed me to string ribbon to hang the necklace
and finally a gold crown charm completed the project.
Now I
just need to find the right outfit to wear this piece with, maybe black is best
to set it off.
