Howdy folks! I played with some of the clay embellishments I molded the other day. Click here for the homemade clay recipe. This butterfly plaque I stamped yesterday was dry but it had warped so I flipped it upside down on my silicone mat and heated it with a heat gun them pressed a stamp block on it while it was still hot and let it cool with the block on top to flatten it out. Then I dry brushed some acrylic paint on the front before adhering it to my card. I think I will have to play more with my stamps on the clay because I really like the look!
I picked up this flower and simply sponged some purple ink on it, I like that look too!
I started listing to the audiobook The Help and really got in to it, I like to tidy up my work area when I am don for the day but apparently I lost track of time and started another card, whoops! Please don’t mind the mess now 🙂 Happy What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday!
Before I go I want to share a picture of one of my new chicks sleeping in my hand, can you stand the cuteness?!?
thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!

Oh, I forgot to day that I think Sculpey is great for using molds, as well as “bead guts”, which is the inside of beads. You use the Sculpy for the inside of the bead, and cover the outside with Premo, Fimo or Kato clay.
It’s a good use for Sculpy scraps, as well as for mold-making, as the blogger already mentioned. I just wouldn’t use it for anything that would get wear and tear.
