The image I have used is Image 923, You can purchase it HERE
please forgive the photo I don't know why they are showing up
dark as when I take them they look fine. Sorry.

DETAILS

1. Using a 7 x7 card I matted a quarter of it with embossed
dotty card.

2. With my Tonic square dies I die cut two out of blue card. I
then added a doily between them and a piece of blue
crochet ribbon across them both. They were then adhered
to the base using foam tape.

3. The image was printed out and coloured with Copic and
then die cut using Tonic Elegant Ovals, before I removed
it from the die  I used Pan Pastels over the background.
It was then mounted using foam tape.

4. The flourish was cut with a Tattered Lace die and again
I used Pan Pastels to colour, this was then added just
under the image frame,

5. Still using the Elegant Ovals I cut the sentiment tag
and added the word using the Tattered Lace Alphabet.

To complete I added an assortment of blue flowers from my stash.


So come on, lets see what blue creations you come up with.
Remember it can be anything you choose as long as it
uses the colour BLUE.

Until Next Time
As Always

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Hope everyone is ok as we hit another Wednesday,

Anyhow seeing as it is Wednesday, its time for another

challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty and this week

our theme is 

EASEL CARD

You can create anything you like as long as the card is
an Easel 

Our sponsors for this week challenge are

Sparke n Sprinkle

Prize - 3 images of winners choice

and

Digital Delights

Prize $5 Voucher

My card is featuring the Playful Penguins set from

Sparkle n Sprinkle and you purchase it HERE.

DETAILS

        1.    I decided I would like to try making a triple easel card

         something I have never done. Watched a couple of

video's  and this is the result.

2. The card is made from navy card stock and to be

       honest I gave up on the measuring and did my own

thing. Anyone who know me will tell you that

     a ruler and me do not get on LOL and I prefer to use

the by eye method.

3. Next I created the panels again using navy card.

    The backing paper came from  MCS and I  printed

off two sheets.

4. The Penguins as I said are pre- coloured and I

  printed them off onto super smooth card and 

then I used two oval dies and one circular die

to cut them out. I distressed the backgrounds

with Archival Whispers  ink - Sugarloaf.

They were adhered to the each panel with

foam pads.

5. I then die cut the corner and snowflake from

white card and added glitter before adhering

to the front and back panels.  The poinsettia 

was created from vellum and again glittered.

I added a red gem in the centre and also in

the centre of the snowflake.

6. The stopper is also part of the penguin set

along with the sentiment.

Here is a side view of the card

There you have my take on a triple easel card.  Looking  forward

to seeing your creations and my team buddies have made some

fabulous cards to give you some inspiration, so please pop

on over, take a look round and join the fun.

Until Next Time

As Always

Good Evening 

My Crafty Friend, Followers and Visitors

I have decided to another  blog post, just because I can and

dedicate it to breast cancer awareness. I think the sentiment

on this card is very fitting to us all.

Hope your day has been bearable considering its Monday.

I have done a quick card and the majority of the card has 

been taken  from the Ooh La La Creations cd Words.  This cd has

been out for some time but its a lovely one to fall back

on.

DETAILS

1.I printed out three backing papers and the image from the

cd Words and using parts of a Sue Wilson die I cut two

of backing papers. Then with plain pink card I matted

the papers onto it and cut round the shape by hand.

2.Using an 8 x 8 what card I have matted it with pink

card stock and rounded the edges of both. Next I 

took the third backing paper and matted this to 

the pink card again rounding the edges. Before

this was adhered to the card I took a piece of 

pink organza ribbon and pink lace and attached.

3. The image was printed out as it appears on the card

and was then adhered to one of the frames. The frames 

were then angled on the card.

To complete I have added three pink flowers down the

side.  ( Sorry the photo is a little dark, it looked fine when I took it)

Well that's it from me, off to get my tea

Until Next Time

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

How are we all doing? I hope the answer

hope things get better very soon.

Welcome back for another challenge over at
 Dream Valley 

The challenge runs every fortnight , posted every other Monday.

The theme for this fortnight's challenge is 

                              HALLOWEEN                                              

                                 and we are sponsored this fortnight by

Imagine That

We would love you to come and join in 

Please Remember - Only 10 Challenges including Dream Valley

can be entered and you must link back to our blog.

The lovely ladies  over at Dream Valley have created some

fabulous creations for your inspiration, so why not pop on

over to the  DREAM VALLEY blog,  we are waiting

to see you all.

Halloween is not a favourite  subject for me and I
find it a bit difficult but I have had a go so here goes.

DETAILS

1. I took a piece of craft card folded in half to create a
A4 card and decided to use it in landscape format.

    2.  I then covered it with a background paper from my
         stash  Next I added a piece of spider wed down the side.

  3. I created the frame using deep red card with my
 Brother ScanNcut and mounted the outer section
flat onto my card.

4. All the images except the spider were cut again
from the ScanNcut ( I am getting used to it slowly)
and I then mounted all but the witch around the
edge of the frame using foam pads.

5. The central card is the waste from the frame
and I mounted the witch again with foam
pads to give her dimension. The panel was
then placed back into the centre of the
frame but I put quite a bit of foam tape
onto the back so that the centre stood
proud of the frame.

To complete I added the plastic spider and there
you have it, my take on a Halloween card.

I know a lot of you will be creating Halloween card around this
time, so come on pop some over on our blog challenge, we
are dying to see your take on Halloween.

Until Next Time
As Always

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Hope everyone is ok as we hit another Wednesday, only three

more Wednesdays then we will be getting into November,

its frightening how quickly this year is going by.

Anyhow seeing as it is Wednesday, its time for another

challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty and this week

our theme is 

ANYTHING GOES

Our sponsors for this week challenge are

Bugaboo

Prize - 7 Digi images of winners choice

and

Lacy Sunshine

Prize - 3 Digi images of winners choice

I have again made two cards but this will be the last time I will doing

this as our DT member Kim is back. Next week I will be back to 

making only one card, so without further ado, the first card has

been made using the image Floral Trio Frame for Bugaboo and

you can purchase it HERE.

DETAILS

 1. Card size is 8 x 8 and I have matted it with burgundy card

       that I have embossed using a dotty folder (sorry don't know

         the correct name but I think its one of Crafters Companions )

 I created another mat still using the dotty folder but this

  time I used black card. Before these were adhered to the

      card, I wrapped a strip of red ribbon which has black spots

on it across the two layers. (Sorry for some reason the

picture has come out a bit fuzzy)

     2. The floral frame trio were coloured with Copic markers

        and I then cut the frames apart and matted onto red and

black spotty embossed card.

3. I arrange them so that I had room at the top to add

the sentiment and a triple layer bow at the bottom.

A black pearl gem was added the centre of the bow.

 The happy Birthday is one of the new Tonic Dies and

    again I added a black pearl gem to the centre of the star.

==============================

Card Two

DETAILS

1. Circle card is from my stock and I have folded

it to create an easel card.

           2. I have then matted it with two circle dies that have

                  been cut out blue centura pearl card. The flourishes 

               are Tattered Lace dies and I have inked them over 

                with antique linen distress ink before adhering to my

card.

                3. The image in entitled Thea Boo Blowing Bubbles and is

                  from Lacy Sunshine and you can purchase her  HERE.

                          Again coloured with Copic markers and then fuzzy cut her

                     out. She has been mounted onto the card with foam tape.

                4. I added glossy accent to the bubbles a smaller circle to the

          bottom of the card to act as the stopper and to finish

added a row of pearl droplets.

There you have it, I hope you will go on over to the challenge

blog at Penny's Paper Crafty and join in. Looking  forward

to seeing what you come up with.

Until Next Time

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

How is everyone doing?  Well that is another month done and dusted 

as they say. I cannot believe how close we are getting to Christmas.

Anyway enough  about the C word for now, its time once

again for a New Challenge to begin over at

Creative Craft Cottage

Our theme for this challenge is

FAVOURITE COLOUR COMBO

Our lovely sponsor is

Lacy Sunshine

The prize for the lucky winner of this challenge

is 3 Digi Images of your choice .

If you need a little inspiration, then please, take a

look at the fabulous creations that my team buddies

have made. They are such a talented group.

The image I have chosen for this challenge is

entitled Angel Of Music  from the Angel Kisses Collection 
and you can purchase

her HERE.

DETAILS

1.  I took an 8 x 8 white card and attached a mint

coloured pearlescent card that has been embossed to

the front.  Before adhering to the card I added a

piece of lace across the bottom to create the border.

2. The image was printed onto super smooth and using

one of my favourite colours ( Parisian Blue ) it's a

sort  of blue and purple mix, I coloured her with

my Copic markers.  I must admit I think I have

fallen for this sweet image she is adorable.

3. Using a circle die I cut the larger frame from black

card and then with next size down circle die I cut

out the image and adhered them together.

4. Taking a paper doily I attached this to the card,

   then with foam tape I adhered the circles on the

 card.

5. Still using black card I die cut the music score, using 

the Tattered Lace Die and then attached this to the

frame.

To complete I arranged the flowers ( again with the colour

of my choice)  adding two leaves down one side of the frame.

Well that's me done for today, now it's over to you
cannot wait to see what you create using your
favourite colour combo.

Until Next Time

As Always

Hey I'm Cool

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Hope you are all well and ready for a new week ahead?

Well can you believe it's October already.

          Another month can only mean one thing, it the start of another new challenge
starting today over at Whoopsi Daisy and our theme this month  is

HAND COLOURED IMAGE

We would love you use a Whoopsi Daisy image but you don't have to
any image or project can be entered as long as you have coloured
it yourself.

 More details over on the Whoopsi Daisy Challenge Blog here

If you should need a little inspiration, then if you visit our 

     blog the wonderful design team have some stunning makes to share.

Good News Linnie now sell her digital stamps on Etsy if you would like to visit her shop 
here is the link.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/WhoopsidaisyDesigns 

 Here is my DT make,  the image is from the Cd
Daisy may and Friends and you can purchase it
by going onto the link above.

Please Note :-**NEW RULE**  We now have a limit of 2 entries per person, however,
 if 1 of your entries uses an image from Whoopsi Daisy, you may have an additional entry. 
 So, if you use a Whoopsi Daisy image, you may enter 3 times total.

DETAILS

1. Using an 8 x8 card I have matted it with pink pearlescent card
that has been embossed.  The patterned paper panel I have
created by using distress inks. This panel was then adhered
to the pink card but before it was stuck down I added a
white ribbon to hide the join.

2. The image was printed onto super smooth card and coloured
using my Copic markers and then I distressed the edges.

3. The flourishes are by Tattered Lace and  the flowers were
made using the SB die Blooms Two and cut out of paper
that had also been created like the panel using distress
inks.

To complete the flowers I added Nuvo crystal Drops to each
centre.

I have never made my own backing paper before using inks

but I must say I am quite pleased with the effect and will

most likely try this technique again with different colours

of inks.

Looking forward to seeing all your wonderful creations over

at Whoopsi Daisy Challenge Blog

Until Next Time

As Always
