Loooove slow stitching! Stitched Hearts

How much I love slow stitching? A lot! But I 'm running out of ideas what to stitch lately. I started to put together these simple stitched hearts before Christmas and well, it took a while to finish and I love how these turned out.

From a gel print with one of my stencil (my favourite one, oh those black micro beads):

And finally I used those rusted fabric:

And here some short video process (are you hooked ;-)?):

From Cereal box to PouringArt Midori : Pour-Dori

Well....after many frozen pizzas and lot of acrylic pouring (here my frst post how to upcycle cereal box with PouringArt, with video tutorial) and finding out that you can get a marvellous surface with pouring acrylics on cardboard and putting DecoArt TopCoat on top (a shine finish medium) I had to make some Midori with it, couldn't help!
Of course I gave them names: 'Red Heart'
Molte pizze ed acrylic pouring dopo... (qui il primo post, con relativo video tutorial), ed aver scoperto che il cartoncino riciclato col pouring ed il TopCoat (una vernice di finitura lucidissima della DecoArt) diventa una superficie meravigliosa, non potevo che farci delle Midori---Ovvio!

Midori 'Blue Waves'

Midori 'Pretty in Pink'

The pattern and colors you get with this technique is stunning!

L'effetto ed i colori che si ottengono con questa tecnica sono incredibili!

I listed these in my Etsy Shop
Potete trovare queste Midori nel mio shop Etsy

With this I participate on MiniAlbumMakers challenge blog.

IndigoBlu Challenge Anything Goes: Two funky cards

And to start the new year the new challenge at the IndigoBlu blog is 'Anything goes'! I made the most challenging things for me (no joking), two, no three cards. Just stamping with these amazing stamps and spraying with my new fave Lindystampsgang spray.

E per iniziare il nuovo anno sul challenge blog della IndigoBlu, il tema è 'Qualsiasi cosa'! Io ho creato la cosa più difficile per me, e cioè due, no tre cards. Questi bellissimi timbri e i miei nuovi colori spray preferiti e voila' (piu o meno).

Ed una card bonus, dovevo assolutamente usare questo timbro =^.^=

I had to use this stamp, I love it!
