To my blogging friends!

Good evening Lovelies! Well I guess autumn has well and truly arrived! Oooo I do hate rain! 

I thought it was about time I thanked all my lovely blogging friends again! I really appreciate the time you take to visit my blog and leave lovely comments! So I made this card for you all! 

6x6 scalloped edge card which I embossed using the new 6x6 embossing folder by CC, I masked it all off and used versamark with bubble wrap and a speckle background stamp from set, then swiped with pan pastels and sealed with cheap hairspray! the stamp is from stampers anonymous Tim Holtz, the sentiment is Creative expressions! I had to ink the edges as I got a smudge on it lol! I added some glitter here and there and highlighted with white gel pen! 

So once again! Thank you so much xxxx 

CAS 1st birthday card!

Good evening Lovelies! What started off as a miserable wet day turned out to be beautiful! We have our annual Food Festival on our seafront over the weekend, went down today! Mmmmm! So many lovely smells and free little tasters, bought some yummy pies and cakes!

I made this card last night for a gorgeous little girl at the playgroup my little foster girl goes to, and we have been invited to her 1st birthday party next weekend!

6x6 white scalloped edge card, matted with white card stock I'd embossed using the new 6x6 EF by crafters companion, lightly inked the edges with pink lemonade Adirondack! The stamps I've had for ages can't remember who make them, stamped with brilliance ink, cut with spellbinders! The rest speaks for itself!

Thank you so much for visiting! Your comments make my day xxx 

Playing with DI

Good morning Lovelies! It's a wet one so far! 

Heres a stamp set I picked up from Ally Pally! I haven't  made a card out of it yet as I'm not sure I like it? Anyway, I splodged some DI on my mat and lightly spritzed with water and smooshed the paper around to pick up all the colours, I partly dried it with heat tool but while still a bit damp I added some irredecent mica powder to it, then heat dried it, the stamp set are TH which I heat embossed using Cosmic shimmer EP in black which has a teal hue to it, I can't remember the name of at the moment but its very pretty, I decoupaged the bird on the branch, and the frame to the right is stamped twice, it doesn't show up so well in the photo but the EP and background really shimmer and glisten its really pretty! I mounted it onto black card, the backing I created by again smooshing DI with water onto paper and heat drying, I then took some bubble wrap and stamped randomly in various DI and finally Fran-taged using shabby white in top left corner, again photo doesn't really show it well, but it adds lovely texture as its very course and granular! I don't know if I will actually use this as a card? It was just play time! I like how it turned out though! Thank you for visiting! I don't mind if you don't like it! I just enjoy reading your comments xxx 

Black and gold!

Good evening Lovelies! A late blog from me today! Hope your all well and keeping warm and dry?

I made this card the other night for the daily challenge over on the craftymess group!

8x8 cream scalloped edge card matted with black which I'd pierced around the edges, I then ran the next layer through a Christmas M-bossability folder, but it's swirly and not overly Christmassy, I got lots of new spellbinder dies and had to play! I cut them all with black card which I stuck double sided clear adhesive sheets on before running through GC then used gilding flakes, added a lovely crinkle edge ribbon and a couple of hat pins. I didn't win the challenge, but had fun making the card! Thank you for visiting, I love to read your comments good and not so good lol! Xxx

This is my DT creation, the theme is "Anything goes" for this fortnight, so the worlds your oyster!

CDee designs  and The Doodle garden! 

8x8 white card, I used red line tape and Cosmic shimmer mica flakes around the edge and the centre of the flowers, the rest was a combination of spellbinder dies and M-bossability folder, the sentiment is from the Dandelion wishes stamp set by Creative expressions! I do hope you'll join in? http://creativemomentsbloggersnetwork.blogspot.co.uk/p/challenges.html

Zoe challenge #7 Anything goes!

Wow! Another fortnight gone, where are the weeks going?

So here we are again, it's Twinchie time! And here are my samples for this fortnight s challenge the theme is: Anything goes, you should have fun with this one, I know I did, so please be inspired and join in, these lovely lovely little 2x2 squares are such fun to do, so on to mine!

My first one, I used the new TH metallic D stain, I used pewter, and stamped the corners using Kanban stamps, then withdouble sided tape I stuck on each gem, that was the most time consuming bit, but I'm rather pleased with it.

My second I used stamp board, coloured using DI stamped little nuts and bolts background stamp fom CE stamp set then triple embossed Clear EP and stamped into while still molten with the clock from same set, in gold brilliance ink pad, the hands are TH.

My third, I used Pan Pastels smeared various colours across some linen textured card, sealed with cheapo hairspray and then stamped with Lavinia stamps, I added a few little highlights with a white gel pen, voila very easy and quick.

My final one, I stamped the fuchsia from Lavinia stamps with versamark heat embossed with clear EP then inked over using raspberry adirondack, the tiny butterfly is from a spellbinder set which is cut from some text paper from stash, another very quick and simple one! 

Thank you for visiting, it really means a lot to me to hear what you think! You can join in the Show us your Twinchies challenge here! http://twinchie-twinchiehotmaillive.blogspot.co.uk/

My first DT samples for The cupboard trilogy!

Good morning Lovlies! 

So here's my first DT samples for The cupboard trilogy challenge blog! I'm very excited! Our theme for this month is, Things with wings, a fabulous theme don't you think? 

My card is 8x8 card base! I created the background by inking with DI then running through GC with cogs n clocks A4 mask, i then ran black magic coredinations with clock mask through GC and sanded and tore, next layer is a Do crafts clock collage stamp, I just blobbed DI onto my craft mat spritzed with water then just smooshed through it with paper and heat dried then stamped using black stazon, the topper is Creative Ex stamp set, I randomly blended DI in no particular fashion to create a more distressed look, then stamped the clock face and masked it then I stamped the wings over it, the wings one from a Kanban set I've never used before! Removed the mask then randomly stamped the clock hands to create more interest, I stamped the wings again in black stazon onto acetate cut them out and folded them to create a 3D effect stuck them on, added the sentiment which is from the clock set I'd used a dotty mask to emboss it and just cut it out using guillotine added a screw top brad and some bling! 

Watch out throughout the month as I have 2 more cards and a special something else to feature later! So don't forget to pop back from time to time ;) xxx 

 Thank you very much for visiting! I do hope my card have inspired you to enter our challenge, please pop along and have a look at the wonderful creations the rest of the DT have posted.
