Zoe Challenge #2 "Love is in the air"

Good morning Lovelies! I can't believe we are in February already! Roll on the spring!

I'm on me jolly's at the moment and hoping this has posted on time, I scheduled it before I went so fingers crossed? I'm in Malaysia!

 

So onto my post! Here are my samples for Show us your Twinchies

My first is Centura pearl card, I used adirondack pink sherbet ink through a heart and swirl mask by Splodgaway, the stamp is a freebie from a mag!

 

My second is Linen card, I stamped with Versamark using a Stamp-em-up stamp set I swiped over with pan pastels, I used the 2 smallest heart Dies and decoupaged them for some dimension! I also lightly inked all the edges with Black soot DI!

And finally, I embossed card with EF sorry I don't know the make? Added a feather and bobby dazzler! Simples! I hope I have inspired you enough to join in this month? Please pop along and check out all the other samples from our superb DT! Thank you visiting today xxx

Good Morning Lovelies!

Well I'm enjoying my holiday, I have wifi in my room so it's great I can keep in touch, there isn't a lot to do here other than sunbathe swim and chill, which is exactly what I need right now, I'm waking early as the jetlag is still very present that's the problem being 8 hours ahead, so my early waking is when I catch up with my blog etc!

My card I made for a friend for her boyfriend for Valentines day, she asked for lips as he calls her "sugar lips" lol I had to chuckle to myself when she told me, so here's what I came up with!

I embossed with the card suits mask by SplodgeAway then whilst still in situ I spritzed with Dylusions ink sprays black and red! Die cut the hearts, the lips are from a set by a famous American crafter, i cant for the life of me remember her name? not Martha Stuart though! a lovely Facebook friend Karen Willis very kindly lent them to me, the sentiment is from my stash.

Zoe February Challenge "One for the men"

Good morning Lovelies! My second DT post for today, this time Cards Galore the theme this month is "One for the men"

I have scheduled this post as I'm away in Malaysia on my holidays so I hope it's posted on time? I haven't had a holiday for nearly 2 years so I'm certainly ready for it! We've had a pretty tough time lately as our little foster girl moved onto adoption on 17th jan after 22 months with us! Hopefully I will return home refreshed and ready to give my heart away to another needy baby?

So onto my card, 8x8, I started with Kraft card, which I used a SplodgeAway mask of cogs and sprayed with lime green and blue Dylusions spray inks, then I stamped all over with black soot DI a script background stamp, I embossed the metal floor mask also from SplodgeAway then swiped over with green Distress stain, the next layer is again DI in green and stamped with Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamps, the topper is a free stamp set that came with a mag, which again I inked with green, blobbed some water and blotted to create some interest then stamped and inked in black soot DI, I added a few little highlights using a white gel pen!

Thank you for visiting, I hope you join in this month, we had amazing response last month and we are very grateful to everyone who entered, what a fabulous start to 2013!

Zoe Challenge #8 "A sprinkling of red and romance"

Good Morning Lovelies! Well I don't know about you? But I'm glad January is over! It's been a roller coaster month for me, my little foster girl moved onto adoption on the 17th after being with us for 22 months, so it's been a very sad time for us! A good thing for her, but the loss we are suffering is awful! It get's better with time!

Anyway hopefully this has posted on time? I've scheduled it as we are away on our holidays in Malaysia for 16 days?

 

The sentiment is Creative Expressions which I stamped and masked then stamped over with a background stamp by Justrite onto the heart Id cut out of the apeture, the aperture was cut first then I embossed with an 8x8 EF by Crafters Companion, it's not terribly clear in the photo but my first layer I pierced around the edges, the roses and leaves are cut from felt!

Thank you for visiting, I hope you can join in: The Cupboard Trilogy

Seeing Stars

Good morning Lovelies! Well waiting at Kuala Lumpur airport to fly to our next destination which is Penang, we've had 3 days in KL which has been super but very busy, very hot and humid, a beautiful and vibrant place, now we have 12 days lazing in the sun :) boy do I need it!

So onto my make which I made the night before we came away, I was just playing and then found I can enter it into the Panpastelukchallengeblog

I used a Manilla tag and using a SplodgeAway mask and texture paste created the stars, I left it over night to dry, then spritzed with Lime green Dylusions spray ink with the mask in place and then removed the mask and sprayed with Blue Dylusions ink, added some dots with a yellow pen, I added Distress clear rock candy to the bigger stars, stuck a moon face charm on and voila a very simple tag, hope you like it? Thank you for visiting xxx

Dream

Good evening Lovelies! I hope everyone is managing to keep warm and dry?

Here is my second post for today! A very simple card, 6x6 the stamps are from Visible Image, the flower is a spellbinder die I cut all three and layered them up, I coloured the butterfly and flower with DI, the embossing folder is a 6x6 by CC, I pierced around the edges of the first layer using my Tim Holtz ruler, I love this technique, it just finishes off the edges nicely I think, thank you for visiting today xx

StenSkape!

Good morning Lovelies! An early post from me as I've been awake for quite some time I'd put it to good use!

Last night I thought I'd have a play, so I got out my StenSkapes, I've only got 2 and to be honest when I bought them I really wasn't sure I was going to use them, so here is my very first attempt, it's ok, but I need a lot more practice! It's not quite as easy as Tom makes it look.

So what do you think? I enjoyed using it, but not sure I will be using them often, I love my stamping much more! Thank you for spending the time to visit xx
