  It's Twinchie time! Can you believe another fortnight has gone? O my Christmas is upon us! So here are my DT samples for this fortnight over on Show us your Twinchies! 

Created using Spellbinder dies the background was stamped with versamark and pan pastels.

Inked with DI stamped with versamark and embossed with Fran-tage embossing enamel the stamp was a freebie from mag.

Inked with mustard seed DI heat embossed with clear EP a swirly background stamp from Justrite, then inked over to create a resist with Walnut stain DI, the flower s a metal embellishment from stash the foliage is a spellbinder die.

Ok so this has white as well but have done it again all yellow but thought this version looked better? Pan pastels, stamps are from Studio 490.

And here's the other version?

Silver and Blue!

  Good evening Lovelies! I hope everyone is well?

Tonight's make I am entering into http://splodgeaway.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/second-splodgeaway-monthly-challenge.html the theme is to make a Christmas project in blue and silver!

I used my SplodgeAway mat to blend various blues as a background which I splashed some water on and blotted, I then stamped using FlitterGlu and then used silver gilding flakes, the stamps are a lovely set from Indigoblu, I matted onto white card embossed with an m-bossability folder matted onto navy blue card which I'd pierced all around the edges, sentiment also from same set is on navy card cut using spellbinder die, o and it's 8x8 white base as usual lol! Thank you for visiting! 

Another random card for another Brother in law!

  Good Morning Lovelies!

I made two cards last night this was the other one! This is for my other Brother in law whos birthday happens to be the same day as mine 22nd Dec, as I said yesterday we have a lot of birthdays coming up!

 I had such a lot of good comments about my blue random creation the other day I thought I'd give it another go? 

6x6 craft card base, matted with text paper from Stampin up! Which I used my Dylusions stencil with barn door DI for the checkered design then inked over lightly, stamped another edge design in black also from Dylusions, the topper is same paper inked in various DI splattered, and stencilled, the compuss stamp is from Stampers anonymous, rosettes are TH, voila, thank you for taking the time to visit xxx

Brother in laws birthday card!

  A very early good morning Lovelies! I was awake so thought I'd get ahead and do my post now!

As you can see its for my Brother in laws birthday not until 1 Dec, he doesn't look at my blog so don't need to worry about him seeing it, in fact none of my family are interested ;( that's probably why I seek your approval lol ;) their loss not mine! 

We have a lot of Dec and Jan birthdays, so I like to get ahead with them, so this was an experiment really, been checking out Pinterest and there's some fabulous stuff on there, I don't do random terribly well ,so thought I'd give it a go! 

6x6 craft card base, matted with black card, I got an A4 sheet of white paper and blended shades of blue and green DI, blobbed and blotted with water to get a more distressed look, and did some splats with Distress stains, this was my next layer and the rosette, which is a TH die with a stamp I have in my stash in the centre, the topper I just stamped in black a stampers anonymous set, then did a tiny bit of spritzing with Cosmic Shimmer spritzer in midnight blue, and heat dried then some more splats, then Fran-taged the top left corner with blue and white EE and added some green and blue fragments while still molten, love the effect of Fran-tage, it's so rustic. Oh and some ribbon from stash! So there you have it! I like it, I hope you do? Would love to read what you think? Thank you for visiting xxx 

Quack quack!

  Good evening Lovelies! I hope everyone has had a lovely reflective day today?

Tonight I have made a cute card for http://craftymesschallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/21st-challenge-nursery-rhyme-characters.html a very simple card, using some stamps I've had sitting around for years hardly used I think they are from Stampasauraus? Not sure I've spelt it right but ho hum! Backing card is double sided from stash, ducks coloured with Pro markers the Baby die cut is a Marianne design die! Thank you for visiting today xxx 

80th birthday card!

  Good Evening Lovelies! Can you believe it's Friday again? I can't! boy the weeks go by so quick! 

Tonight's card my Mum asked me to make for her cousin! She wanted his name and age on it! He's a keen gardener, so I figured he'd be ok with a more nature themed card rather than gardening? Hope I'm right? 

So it's an 8x8 as usual white base, I stamped all over with the light turquoise blue DI can't remember the name? Using harlequin and text background stamp from Justrite love this stamp! Then I got out my ebony and ivory coredinations pad and used the matching blue and black magic sheets, the blue I embossed using leafy A4 mask and sanded back the black I used CC 6x6 dotty EF and sanded both colours I tore, my topper I inked using various shades of blue DI and dripped some water on then blotted to create a a distressed effect, I stamped the dragonfly from stampers anonymous in black, masked it then stamped using the harlequin background again using one of the blue DI's and inked the edges with black soot DI same for the sentiment too which was cut with spellbinder, the number and name I cut with a cuttlebug folder and sanded. I hope he likes it? Thank you for visiting xxx
