Zoe July Challenge "Copy that"

Good morning Lovelies! Wow July is here, how scary is that? Over half way through the year already and still not had much summer, I do hope we are going to get some summery weather soon?

So onto our July Challenge which is "Copy That" which is sponsored by Stamping Dragon! A nice easy challenge this one, you don't have to copy exactly what one of us have done, you can copy the layout or colour scheme or image, just don't forget to mention who you have copied!

I used "Flowers" Digi stamp from Stamping Dragon!

I coloured them in with Spectrum Noirs! The background is a selection of Jofy stamps, the leaves which are decoupaged are Studio 490 stamps! The butterfly is a mould which I used a light texture paste, it took about 24 hours to dry, but it's great it's very flexible a bit like jelly! I just added some gilding wax to it for a bit if shimmer and colour! I hope you like it?

Thank you for visiting, please pop along to http://cardsgalorechallenges.blogspot.co.uk/?m=0 and check out the rest of the talented DT's samples, and be inspired to join in.

Have a great day xxx Zoe xxx

Anything but a card for SplodgeAway!

Good morning Lovelies!

Today I am showcasing a project I made using a fabulous mask by SplodgeAway, it's on their blog,

http://splodgeaway.blogspot.co.uk/

 

 

I used light modelling paste through the mask, i also used the fancy lattice mask too with acrylic paints, then added lots of bit and pieces from my stash to create texture, then just coated with Modgepodge and painted with acrylic paints, the sentiment was stamped onto tissue and adhered with beeswax, I added beeswax here and there over the canvas to create dimension and texture, I added Silver Gilding wax to the modelling paste, the Canvas is 8x10 inch, the largest I've done so far! I enjoyed creating it, I'm not keen on parts of it though, but it was the first time I'd used this technique!

I love being on the DT of SplodgeAway, such fabulous products, thank you Tom and Susan xx

Special occasion card!

Good morning Lovelies! Where is the sun? Lol!

Today's card I made last week for a lovely friend of mine! And her surname funnily enough is "Lovely" hahaha isn't that a great name? Anyway her daughter gave birth 5 weeks ago to triplet Boys, who are doing fabulously btw! They were all over 4lbs and are now all over 5lbs which is amazing for such a high risk pregnancy! She is 39 years old so amazing!

Anyway here is the card I made for my friend, I'm also entering it into http://craftcreatoins.blogspot.co.uk/ the theme is special occasions!

A very simple and clean card!

I used the lovely new Embossing folder by Anna Griffin from Cuttlebug which also has a border EF which I've used on the blue strip, it's very pretty I think? The flowers are from Petal Lu, you can find her on Facebook! Sorry I can't add a link for some reason? Her blooms are fantastic!

Thank you for visiting, have a great weekend xxx

Gelli Plate fun with Gloss Medium!

Good Evening Lovelies and a very warm welcome to new followers!

It's been so humid here! No sun though, I've had an awful headache all day! But to take my mind off it tonight I've had a play with my Gelli Plate! I love it and get it out often, I've got tons of prints I don't know what to do with lol! But they will come in handy at some point, that's the beauty of it!

So this is a technique I saw on Pinterest yesterday and just couldn't wait to try it out! It's fabulous for all those backing papers we all bought because we needed them but never used, and I probably won't now as I do enjoy creating my backgrounds myself, so its a bit of upcycling!

I used an assortment of masks and papers and just went to work, you apply your Gloss medium to the Gelli plate with Brayer as usual, place your mask or whatever your going to imprint, then press your paper and lift, let it dry then using Distress stains splodge over the colour then wipe with a slightly damp cloth or paper towel, fabulous results!

This first one is a K&co paper a paisley pattern and a stripy one

These were just what I cut off the 12x12 sheets

Sheet music and text paper, I think these two last ones are my favourites? What do you think?

Flower crazy!

Good Evening Lovelies, I hope you've all had a fab weekend? Don't know about you? But the weather has been very strange, hot sunshine one minute, windy and sunny then windy and cloudy then raining! Wish it would make up its mind!

Here's a card I made for a crafty challenge tonight, it didn't win but I enjoyed making it! I didn't notice the bloody great shadow down the right side! Grrrr! Anyway my E-Bosser was getting a good outing tonight all these spellbinder flowers and the embossed background by Anna Griffin with Cuttlebug, it's actually on cream card which doesn't really show well and I pierced all around the edge of the first layer! I really must take a better photo tomorrow in better light! I use Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade distress inks to colour the flowers! Right I'm off to bed, nighty night crafty friends xxx

Thank you for visiting xxx

Here is another picture in better light!
