It's time for the Trendsetting Spotlight! Each Thursday we feature a card made by someone who has participated in the previous week's TSG Challenge. Would you like to be in the Trendsetting Spotlight?? Join in the fun by participating in our weekly challenges posted every Monday!
I am very pleased to be shining our Trendsetting spotlight this week on Sylvia-Anne! I got such a kick out of the card below, especially since it's Sylvia's very first Halloween card! Would you just look at this amazing color job!?
Sylvia obtained her very first stamp set (John Bull Printing Set) at the tender age of 7 or 8. The set was comprised of a small black ink pad, a set of tiny alphabet stamps, which she describes being used for newsprint. She says she has been a crafter nearly her whole life. About 13 years ago she saw a demo for heat embossing and it was like magic! She taught her own card making classes for 10 years and enjoyed helping others learn the craft.
Sylvia's go-to embellishments are ribbon and Glamour Dust. I was not familiar with Glamour Dust, so I looked it up and found the following description: Glamour Dust is a dry, very fine sprinkle-on glitter that adds sparkle to painted fabric, home decor and decorating, or craft projects.
Sylvia has not yet mustered the courage to submit for publication, but she would like to! I think she should go for it!!
Hailing from West Yorkshire in the UK, Sylvia and her husband of 45 years (way to go, Sylvia!) have a daughter, a son, three granddaughters and two grandsons. When she is not stamping, Sylvia loves to spend time with her family, meeting up with friends for coffee and retail therapy. Sounds like a perfect life to me! :)

Hugs!
