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.

Dies to Die For - Heidi

Hey Everyone

I hope you all have had a great weekend and are having a good week.


Today I would like to share with you another beautiful Wee Stamp and this one is called Heidi - gorgeous isn't she.

Here is the full card:


Mmm - do you think I've overdone it with the snowflakes?  I am so out of my comfort zone with having bits going outside the edges of the card (I must have OCD that is for sure), but I have always admired all the talented ladies who do this and do it so well.

Anways, the recipe for the card is as follows:

Stamp:  Wee Stamps - Heidi
Papers:  My Minds Eye - All is Bright
Kraft Card:  Bazzill Kraft
Large Side Snowflake Die:  Tim Holtz Alterations - On The Edge - Snow Flurries (this is showing out of stock at the moment but drop Tracy an e-mail and I'm sure she'll get it for you)
Small Snowflakes Die:  Cheery Lynn - Snowflakes
Sentiment Die:  Die-Namics - Fishtail Flags
Ribbon, Button & Bells:  The Hobby House
Mesh & Button Twine:  The Ribbon Girl

The image has been coloured with Copics, Promarkers and Flexmarkers as follows:

Skin: E21 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)
Hair:  E59 E37 E35 E34 E31
Hair Ribbons:  R39 R29 R27 R24
Dress:  Satin (Promarker) / Antique White (Flexmarker) / E0000
Jacket & Boots:  E43 E42 E41 E40

I have outlined the image with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink
All the papers and card have been edged with Walnut Stain Distress Ink
I have given a good old Glamour Dust treatment to all the snowflakes and the jacket, handwarmer and pom poms

I thought I would try and show you a close up of that fabulous Cheery Lynn Snowflakes die:


The picture really doesn't do it justice, you get absolutely oodles of snowflakes on this die - it's just brilliant.

Well that's it from me for now.  I hope you all have a fantastic week.

Take care and be safe.

Ta ta for now
