On a Sunday I will be posting my favourite Craft of the Week for you all to see and comment on and appreciate and share your feedback !
This week as I have just recently decided on doing this I'm going to stay close to home and show you a little crafting done by my boyfriend Matthew !
Matthew race's model cars or as I like to call them "Toy Cars !"
He goes racing twice a week and loves every minute of it ! (I know this because he never shuts up about his cars )
After getting back into his car racing he sort the opportunity to make a little money and turn himself into a entrepreneur. In racing the colour & design on your cars represent the driver and each driver has his own specific colours and certain designs running through everything they own. Matthew came across the opportunity to make a little money by buying in clear shells and then masking and airbrushing them himself starting off with his very own.
After a few test runs and realising he could make himself some serious cash Matthew posted a few of the shells he had done on Oople ( Model Car Forum ) and instantly got replies back either wanting the shells or wanting one off shells done.
A year has pasted nearly and he's still going strong in designing and painting these shells and recently came across a new and improved way of doing things by using Vinyl !
Matt bought himself a Silhouette Cameo !
Which is a little cutting machine for Vinyl, Paper, Card Stock etc. And cuts out any shape you want it to via using the software.
Even though the machine wasn't cheap out of all his car gear etc this has got to be the most coolest and best thing he's ever bought to not only extend his designs and get crisper, neater and more range in colour and texture of car shell design, I also now have something to play with and use to make stickers and die cuts for my crafts ! Yayy !
Below are two picture which I think are the best shells he's ever done and this is using the Cameo Cutter and Vinyl along with his Airbrush.
I hope I haven't bored you all to much and that you look forward to next weeks !
Let us know what you think all comments and feedback or suggestions are welcome !
And if you have any craft's you would like to show off and be put in for Craft of the Week then please email me at emmalouiise_@live.co.uk
Thanks
Emma
