Mistletoe!

  Good evening Lovelies, a little late posting tonight, was too busy watch the Sports awards! Not into sports at all, but it was special! 

So onto my card which I'm entering http://panpasteluk.blogspot.co.uk/

6x6 white card matted with Navy blue, I scored three lines either side of an approx 3 inch gap, I masked either side with some low ack masking tape, I used pan pastels in a random fashion, sealed with cheap hairspray, then I repeat stamped my Mistletoe by Lavinia Stamps in black, added liquid pearls and a very simple sentiment! A very quick and easy card! Thank you for visiting xx 

Zoe challenge #12 "Let it snow"

  Good morning Lovelies! So here we are our final challenge for 2012! I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone for the support we've had in our first year! Please note that this challenge ends on the 4th of January and the new challenge on the 5th of every month! So only once a month, this will give everyone more time to make some beautiful 2x2 inch square pieces of art!

Our theme this time is of course "Let it snow" a fitting theme to end to the year! Here are my samples! 

I made some cards earlier using this background, which was an A4 sheet of white paper, I splodged blue DI can't remember which now? I think it was two shades? Onto my SplodgeAway mat and spritzed with water and swooshed the paper through it and heat dried! The snowflake is the large Visible Image snowflake, offset using Flitterglu and silver gilding flakes, penguin was a little £1 stamp from Hobbycraft coloured with Promarkers, i added some Polar White flowersoft to his hat then I mounted it onto a piece of navy blue card!

This time using the same background, The little reindeer was a freebie from a mag, stamped in brown ink and masked the little snowflakes for the background are Lavinia stamps, using white brilliance ink!

Very simple! Another freebie from mag, heat embossed useing a sparkly white EP and again the  Lavinia snow flakes in versamark for watermark effect in the corners, and a mauve gem!

And my final one, which I think is my favourite? Again same background, the skates and flourish were From the same freebie set as the reindeer, flourish embossed with white sparkly EP, the skates I coloured with pro markers added glitter and decoupaged, and added some gems to the corners.

 I hope you like my samples? I've really enjoyed making these, please pop along to the challenge blog and take a look and the other wonderful creations Barbara and Eileen have created and of course have a go!

Fairy Tag!

  Good evening Lovelies, hope everyone is keeping dry and safe? Wow this freaky weather doesn't seem to want to do one! 

Tonight I thought I'd post a couple of things I've created challenges, one the theme was make it "round" so I altered a CD, I've never done it before and can't say I like it that much! I created it with Distress stains on white paper, the cd itself I gesso'd it first then blobbed Distress stain over it and heat dried it, it took ages! The stamps are Prickly Pear, I stuck black lace around the edge with some redline on the back.

And then my tag, I made tonight, with Pan Pastels, Turquoise tint, turquoise and turquoise shade and Hansa yellow, the foliage is a stampers anonymous Tim Holtz set, the rest is Lavinia Stamps,  and added glitter! 

Thank you so much for visiting xxx 

A funky card!

  Good Evening Lovelies! Now this is going to be interesting? How many of you are going to like this? And how many of you are going to be honest enough to tell me they don't like it? Lol, I won't be offended, was just playing with my distress stains , just love doing the splats so rewarding, lol the stamps are Dylusions, added some liquid pearls to centres of flowers and accent beads to some of the leaves!

Thanks for visiting xxx

Just a crazy little card!

  Good evening Lovelies! How's your Christmas prep getting on? I think I'm almost there, I've done some wrapping tonight, I've still got my little table boxes to make, but not too worried yet! 

So I wanted to do something non Christmas we have a few birthdays in January so thought I'd kick off with one tonight! 

6x6 scalloped edge white card, I used linen texture card, pan pastels magenta tint blending to magenta shade and all the others in between, the stamps are by Dylusions, the sentiment is Paperartsie, I used an eraser to make the flowers bird and stems white, then stamped again and decoupaged the flowers, a very quick and simple card, thank you for visiting xxx
