Did you get a new crafting toy for Christmas, or maybe you learnt a new technique over the holidays, join us for our 1st challenge on Saturday, 4th January.

I've used a new technique, crimped foil to make some bubbles.  I folded a piece of kitchen foiled in 4 and then put it through my crimper, turned it around and put it in the crimper a couple more times, it gets quite thick, then I tried a 2 hole punch and got some small circles, but I found the best  tool was the round punch I use with a hammer, gave the circles some contour, after gluing the bubbles onto the card, I coloured some of them with a blue copic pen.

Tools used to make the bubbles

The image has been coloured with copic pens and layered on patterned paper with 3d tape, a ribbon at the top and foil stickers, also coloured with copic pens.
