Create, Art, Beauty!

  Good evening Lovelies! Well so much for all my hard work last night! Didn't sell one single card at the market today :( oh well! 

So today I was delighted to receive my new stamps from Visible Image, fab service only ordered them Sunday! So here's what I created, 8x8 white card base matted with a dark brown card then white linen texture card, I stamped using dove grey stazon the crackle stamp from Indogoblu, then the Grecian pattern border from Art, create, beauty, goddess stamp set, the toppers I created using pan pastels on linen card sealed with cheap hairspray, stamped the buste in black, masked then stamped over with the dove grey and crackle stamp again, I matted each one again with dark brown, the text also has crackle background too! I hope you like it? More importantly I hope I've done the stamp set justice, I did enjoy creating something different, thank you for visiting, if you haven't already, you must visit Visible Image their stamps are fabulous quality!

Been stocking up!

  Good evening Lovelies! Brrrrr! I've not felt warm for 2 days now :( 

Well last night I spent my valuable crafting time tidying and sorting out my craft room, so nothing made :( and tonight I've spent the evening making, what I like to call "mindless cards" lol in other words "kit cards" not my idea of fun or crafting! Sorry for those of you that kit craft! No disrespect, it's just not my thing, having said that they do serve a purpose. An old school friend is starting up a weekly market in our town, mostly food and crafts, and she has very kindly offered me a space on her craft stall for my cards! I'm too busy to be able to do it myself unfortunately so I'm very lucky. So with Christmas quickly approaching I thought I'd better add to my stash of crimbo cards! Everything I made tonight apart from the Washi tape and card blanks was free, the Boofles stuff I won, the rest was from mags, so anything I sell will be a bonus, not often a crafter can say that! Considering the amount we spend on stash lol! 

So these are what I made tonight! I have loads more for the market! Thank you for visiting xxx 

Bird in cage!

Good morning Lovelies! Hope you've all had a great weekend? Lots of fireworks going off all over the place over the weekend, I really don't like them, such a waste of money! Bah humbug lol

Another thing I'm glad is over is Halloween! 

Tonight's card I made a while ago, it's 8x8 white base matted with more white card I pierced around the edges then embossed another layer with an M-bossability folder, the elements of this card are all cut with spellbinder dies on my GC the card stock is from stash can't remember what make it is? Added some pretty Vintagey lace and some ready made flowers, voila! A simple card really didn't take long at all! Thank you for visiting xxx 

More Autumn leaves!

Good evening Lovelies! I do hope everyone's having a lovely weekend so far?

Tonight I have made another card using my gorgeous new Justrite stamps! I just love them, I used 8x8 base card in white, I masked either end using some torn paper to create an uneven panel of colour and just blended several different DI's I used the little stamps from the set in the DI colours to create a bit more interest in the background, I made twinchies matted onto black card for the toppers, I heat embossed in black the leaf then using my water brush painted with DI, the sentiment is also from the set. I love how this card has turned out and would love to read what you think? Thank you for visiting xxx I'm entering this card into:

Autumn Leaves!

  Good evening Lovelies! Brrrr it's really getting chilly now!

Tonight's post I made using some new stamps I got yesterday by Justrite! They are gorgeous!

I started dabbing Pan pastel autumn shades onto an A4 sheet of paper, sealed with cheap hairspray, once dry I stamped all over with different leaf stamps, so I have loads left over to use on another card :) so my card is 8x8 cream base, matted with brown then matted with more cream that I embossed using a leaf design A4 mask which I lightly inked with Walnut stain DI, then just stuck the leaves down, the sentiment also from same set! A simple card the hardest thing was the cutting out! Hope you like it? Thank you for visiting xxx

Zoe Challenge # 9 Hot firework colours!

  Good morning Lovelies! I'd would like to say a big thank you to all the fabulous entrants in our previous challenges, it's amazing what you all come with. Can you believe another fortnight has gone by?

 It doesn't seem long ago that I we were planning Christmas last year and here we are again, just around the corner!

So here are my DT samples for this fortnight s challenge the theme this time is, Hot Firework colours! I have to say I'm not entirely happy with my samples! They were all created using Cosmic Shimmer Chalk spritzers, some I splattered some alcohol inks on, I then triple embossed each one added orange and pink Cosmic Shimmer glitter while still molten and stamped into using various stamps or bits and bobs! I look forward to seeing what you come up with this time?

Good morning Lovelies! Here we are again, challenge time again and this month our theme is Halloween/Autumn! Over on http://thecupboardtrilogychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/ we had lots of fabulous entries for our last challenge, so I'm hoping it will be just as popular, who doesn't love a bit of spook or the beautiful shades of Autumn?

So my make is 8x8 white base, I coloured using DI and blobbed water on and blotted, then stamped using harlequin background stamp from Visible Image, the speckles are Stampers anon TH as is the foliage on the topper bottom right, the bats are Lavinia stamps, matted onto black card, the topper is white glossy card,  I stamped the text from TH stampers anon set with white brilliance ink, heat set, then once dry blended a variety of DI then buffed with dry paper towel to bring out the text, then using the DI stamped using polka dots background stamp again from VI, the bats cat and tree are from Dylusions Bats and bits stamp set, the leaves are a Dylusions stencil inked through with chipped sapphire DI, the wave pattern is also Dylusions stamp, the tree is actually only an outline I coloured it in with brown marker pen, I added a few highlights here and there with a white gel pen and black fine line pen! I really enjoyed making this card, I love to experiment, hope you like too? Thank you for visiting! Xxx
