Did you ever do something on a card that you wish you hadn't?  Well I've done it on this card - I've seen so many beautiful cards made with some gorgeous Frantage around the edges so I thought I would give it a go - not very good at it am I!  Lots and lots of practise required there that is for sure!

DOTTY

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all well.

I hope you are seeing this post as I am away working this weekend :(

This is just the start of a lot of weekend working for me right up until the end of October but at least it keeps my out of mischief, but means less time spent in the craft room :((


It's challenge time again over at Totally Gorjuss and this week's theme is "Dotty".  We have two prizes up from grabs this week from The Ribbon Girl and Heather's Hobbie Haven, so if you want to be in with a chance to win a voucher to spend in these stores, then make sure you get your entries in over at Totally Gorjuss.

Here is a proper close-up of the image - can you tell I've been playing around with the black and white image above ;)


Enough pictures I hear you cry so here is the full card:


I am just loving this new set of Bildmalarna Little Winged Friends stamps, and have just seen the new Christmas ones - looks as though this is going to be expensive $-)

The recipe for the card is:

Stamp:  Bildmalarna - Little Winged Friends - Mushroom
Papers:  My Minds Eye - Lost and Found - Halloween (this is on offer at just £5 at the moment - grab one while you can)
Oval Die:  Die-namics - Oval STAX Set 1 and Oval STAX Set 2
Sentiment Stamp:  Whimsy - Love Mini Tickets
Sentiment Die:  Whimsy - Mini Ticket Die
Corner Die:  Die-namics - Photo Corners (I cut this down to size a little)
Button Dies:  Cheery Lynn - Buttons # 3
Twine:  Ribbon Girl - Card of Brown Earth Mix Hemp Twine (gorgeous stuff this is)

I have coloured the image with a mixture of Copics and Twin Touch Markers (TT):

Skin:  E21 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)
Hair:  TT - BR99 BR100 BR101 BR104
Clothes:  TT - BR95 BR112 BR97 BR107 / Copics:  E55 E53 E51 E50
Boots:  E49 E47 E44
Mushrooms:  E43 E42 E41 E40 / R39 R29 R24 R22
Shading:  W5 W3 W1 W00

You will also see that I have used a stamp around the paper to make it look distressed and this is a Kaisercraft Clear Texture Stamp called "Distress" from Bunny Zoes and let me tell ya - at just £2.95 for a stamp which measures 5cm x 13cm, then these are just a MUST!

I have outlined the image with my Copic Air Compressor using E44
The papers have been edged in Walnut Stain Distress Ink

And that's it! Thank you for dropping by.  I hope you have a great weekend.

STRIPES

Hello Everyone

Brrrrr, Autumn has definitely arrived here with us this week - the heating is on!

Sorry I was MIA last week but since last Thursday I have had the most horrible few days :( 

I had to put my Sister's beautiful cat "Paddy" to sleep last Thursday, and she doesn't know yet as she is on holiday and not back until this weekend!  For those of you who know me, you will know how much I just adore cats, especially my Winston :o) and I was the one who chose Paddy for my Sister from our local RSPCA nearly 14 years ago - I am just heart-broken :(( 

Then my best friend sent me a text on Wednesday morning to say that her Brother had passed away - he was only 54 and was diagnosed with brain cancer just 8 weeks ago.

Finally, one of my dealers passed away on Thursday at the ripe old age of 48!!!! What!  He was diagnosed with stomach cancer just three weeks ago and now he's not here!  He leaves behind a wonderful family with three children, 2 girls aged 21 and 11 and the most gorgeous little boy aged just 2!  I just can't believe it - I am just shocked and I am angry - I just don't understand why


I'm surprised that I have managed to make a card this week, but I tucked myself away in my craft room to take my mind off everything and have put one together.

So, it's challenge time over at Totally Gorjuss and our theme for this challenge is "Stripes" - yup, we want to see stripes on your creations and you could be in with a chance to win a voucher to spend in our Sponsor's store, who this week is Crafter's Companion.

Here is the card I have made:


The recipe for the card is:

Papers:  Bazzill - Miss Teagen Sue 
Stamp:  Bildmalarna - Little Winged Friends - Leaf
Sentiment Stamp:  Whimsy - Everyday Button Collection
Sentiment Die:  Whimsy - Button Die
Roses Die:  Die-namics - Large Rolled Rose and Mini Rolled Roses
Daisy Die:  Die-namics - Rolled Daisy
Butterfly Die:  Die-namics - Butterflies
Leaves Die:  Memory Box - Tender Leaves
Self-Adhesive Pearls:  The Hobby House

I have coloured the image with a mix of Copic and Twin Touch (TT) as follows:

Skin:  E21 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)
Hair:  TT - BR99 BR116 BR115
Dress:  E97 E95 YR00 YR000
Top, Trousers, Socks:  E53 E51 E50
Shading:  W5 W3 W1

I have outlined the image with Pumice Stone Distress Ink
The papers have been edged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink

I wanted to show you a close-up image of the flowers - these are just so easy to make and it makes life so much easier when you want to co-ordinate the colours:


And that's it.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

Ta ta for now.

I hope you are seeing this post as I am away working this weekend :(

This is just the start of a lot of weekend working for me right up until the end of October but at least it keeps my out of mischief, but means less time spent in the craft room :((


It's challenge time again over at Totally Gorjuss and this week's theme is "Dotty".  We have two prizes up from grabs this week from The Ribbon Girl and Heather's Hobbie Haven, so if you want to be in with a chance to win a voucher to spend in these stores, then make sure you get your entries in over at Totally Gorjuss.

Here is a proper close-up of the image - can you tell I've been playing around with the black and white image above ;)


Enough pictures I hear you cry so here is the full card:


I am just loving this new set of Bildmalarna Little Winged Friends stamps, and have just seen the new Christmas ones - looks as though this is going to be expensive $-)

The recipe for the card is:

Stamp:  Bildmalarna - Little Winged Friends - Mushroom
Papers:  My Minds Eye - Lost and Found - Halloween (this is on offer at just £5 at the moment - grab one while you can)
Oval Die:  Die-namics - Oval STAX Set 1 and Oval STAX Set 2
Sentiment Stamp:  Whimsy - Love Mini Tickets
Sentiment Die:  Whimsy - Mini Ticket Die
Corner Die:  Die-namics - Photo Corners (I cut this down to size a little)
Button Dies:  Cheery Lynn - Buttons # 3
Twine:  Ribbon Girl - Card of Brown Earth Mix Hemp Twine (gorgeous stuff this is)

I have coloured the image with a mixture of Copics and Twin Touch Markers (TT):

Skin:  E21 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)
Hair:  TT - BR99 BR100 BR101 BR104
Clothes:  TT - BR95 BR112 BR97 BR107 / Copics:  E55 E53 E51 E50
Boots:  E49 E47 E44
Mushrooms:  E43 E42 E41 E40 / R39 R29 R24 R22
Shading:  W5 W3 W1 W00

You will also see that I have used a stamp around the paper to make it look distressed and this is a Kaisercraft Clear Texture Stamp called "Distress" from Bunny Zoes and let me tell ya - at just £2.95 for a stamp which measures 5cm x 13cm, then these are just a MUST!

I have outlined the image with my Copic Air Compressor using E44
The papers have been edged in Walnut Stain Distress Ink

And that's it! Thank you for dropping by.  I hope you have a great weekend.

STRIPES

Hello Everyone

Brrrrr, Autumn has definitely arrived here with us this week - the heating is on!

Sorry I was MIA last week but since last Thursday I have had the most horrible few days :( 

I had to put my Sister's beautiful cat "Paddy" to sleep last Thursday, and she doesn't know yet as she is on holiday and not back until this weekend!  For those of you who know me, you will know how much I just adore cats, especially my Winston :o) and I was the one who chose Paddy for my Sister from our local RSPCA nearly 14 years ago - I am just heart-broken :(( 

Then my best friend sent me a text on Wednesday morning to say that her Brother had passed away - he was only 54 and was diagnosed with brain cancer just 8 weeks ago.

Finally, one of my dealers passed away on Thursday at the ripe old age of 48!!!! What!  He was diagnosed with stomach cancer just three weeks ago and now he's not here!  He leaves behind a wonderful family with three children, 2 girls aged 21 and 11 and the most gorgeous little boy aged just 2!  I just can't believe it - I am just shocked and I am angry - I just don't understand why


I'm surprised that I have managed to make a card this week, but I tucked myself away in my craft room to take my mind off everything and have put one together.

So, it's challenge time over at Totally Gorjuss and our theme for this challenge is "Stripes" - yup, we want to see stripes on your creations and you could be in with a chance to win a voucher to spend in our Sponsor's store, who this week is Crafter's Companion.

I wanted to show you a close-up image of the flowers - these are just so easy to make and it makes life so much easier when you want to co-ordinate the colours:


And that's it.

Ta ta for now.
