My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

How are you all doing today?. Well we are now into June and not

and the theme is :-

Yes Your Favourite  ANYTHING GOES

For this challenge we have two sponsors and they are:-

My first card has been made using the image Rory Bag of Flower Pots
from Lacy Sunshine  and you can purchase HERE.

DETAILS

1. I made the card using SB dies Grand Decorative Labels One

2. Using MCS I made the background and then added the image.

It was then printed out onto super smooth card and the image

coloured with Copic's

3. Using the next size down in the dies I created the frame and

using foam pads adhered it to the card.

4. The flowers were made from various petals from Sweet Lilac

and arrange around the frame.

To Complete I added a small bow with a heart gem in the centre.

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

My second card has been made using the image

from The East Wing, named Hatted Flower Mon Amour

 and again it can purchased HERE.

DETAILS

1. Card base is fancy edge  cream from my stash. I then took

a piece of pale blue  card and ran it through an embossing

folder ( I think it is one from Tattered Lace).

2. Next I created out of cream card the panel of flowers using

the Couture Flower Burst Collection Reflections die.

3. The image was coloured using Copic and  then die cut using

SB die (sorry cannot remember the name) and using foam 

pads adhered to the card.

4. I then took the stamps Trio Of Flowers from Honey Doo Crafts

and stamped the flowers and then coloured them to match

the image.

5. The two tags are from my stash and I have secured then using

a flower brad.

To complete I have added gold gems around the image frame and

in the centre of each flower.

Now my friends it over to you, the team and I are waiting

to see what you come up with.

So don't delay, let your fingers do the walking over to

Smell The Flowers

Good Morning, My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

No you are not dreaming, yes its still morning and I am doing my blog.

Reason being I have the plasterer in today doing my kitchen ceiling and until

he has finished I cannot do anything, so  I thought do your blog first because

once he has gone I will have all the cleaning up of plaster dust to get rid of

and cleaning my cupboards down (even though everything is covered in plastic

sheets the dust will still get through)

Anyway enough of the boring stuff, what about this weather, I am looking

through my window and the sky is blue and the sun is beaming down

Oh how lovely to see, hope its the same for you all.

Today I have done another Whoopsi Daisy image and will entering it

into the new Challenge LEAVES.

DETAILS

           1.     Started with a 5 x 7 cream card and using a Tonic

edge die I cut the top front of the card.

    2.     I coloured the image using Pro-markers and put

                Glossy Accent onto her hair ( it does not show up

                        in the picture) but it does make her hair shine Honest.

                     She was then mounted onto gold mirri board before

adhering to the card.

      3.    The leaves were done using Tattered Lace dies in

green and white card stock.

                   4.   The flowers were from Sweet Lilac and I have enhanced 

              them with pale gold pearl gems.  I have also used 

          the same gems to enhance the flowers in the top

of my card.

Well that's all for today my friends and tomorrow

I will showing you my attempt at another stamping

technique.

Until Next Time

As Always

Whoopsi Daisy - Leaves

Hold Onto My Heart

Good Afternoon, My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Well sorry to say the weekend is nearly over but at least we have the sun

shining here today, although it was raining this morning but now

blue sky.

Had a lovely afternoon yesterday with Mary (my cousin) we went to

the Papercraft show at Leigh and had a lovely time.  I had my photo 

taken with Robert Adams ( do like his dies and Cd's and have been a fan

for some years). Spent more than  intended but that's what happens

as we all know.  Bought some stamps and watched the demonstrator

doing her work and when I came home I had a go and to my

surprise I have actually created a scene, so happy with it and

it will be on my blog probably Tuesday.

Today I have again used a Whoopsi Daisy image.

DETAILS

1. Card base is 5 x7 and I have added a pink satin card

that I have embossed with Diamond effect embossing folder 

that has little hearts in in, (sorry its not very clear).

2. Before the embossed card was adhered to the card

I took a piece of white ribbon and wrapped around

to form the crossover effect.

     3. The image is from Whoopsi Daisy and I have coloured

    her using Spectrum Noir Pens.  Once the colouring

    was complete I die cut the image using Spellbinder

   Nestabilities Labels Twenty Nine and placed onto

the card at an angle.

4. The design has been completed by using flowers from

Sweet Lilac to which I have added pink pearl gems, also

pink pearl gems added to the ribbon and a white bow

added to the centre from my stash.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit today and that

you will call back and leave me a comment, as it

really means a lot to me.

Well that's all for today my friends

As Always

Good Morning, my crafty friends, followers and visitors,

Hope you are all well today and have your day planned.

Hubby is on holiday  this week and has told me we are going out today

 but is being very mysterious as to where, so I have no idea

 what he has planned but I will let you know.

Quick post today and as I said yesterday, its another 

Whoopsi Daisy image hope you like.

Details

1. Card is made from A4 Hammered finish card stock,

folded to create a A5 card.

2. I coloured the image using Spectrum Noir  Pens and

Pencils then cut it out using Labels Eight from Spellbinder,

before removing the image from the die I went around 

it using Dried Marigold distressed ink by Tim Holts

3. Using the next size up in Labels Eight I cut out another

die using the same Hammered finish card and mounted the

image onto it and adhered to my card.

4. To complete I made a bow, added a butterfly and

flowers from Sweet Lilac that have been enhances by

putting turquoise gems into their centres.

That's all for today my friends

and always

Take Care and Happy Crafting

Good Evening my crafty friends, followers and visitors,

Firstly I would like to thank my followers and to welcome Lindsey a new followers to my blog

and to thank you all for all your support and the comments that you leave, I really do 

 appreciate you taking the time to visit me.

 Well I did tell you that I was going to the Great Northern Festival yesterday,

oh boy was it good. Quite a few of the big name's were there and I did manage to get to

meet some of them and have my picture taken with them.  Yes I hear you asking " Did you

spend much ", the answer is yes don't be daft of course I did, in fact I spent to much

but what the heck isn't that what money is made for?.  Judging by the amount of

people that were there, I would say it was a great success and I hope they will

do it again next year and if any of you live in the North West I would say make

 note for next year to get on over to Bolton.

Today's make is again something new for me, (boy am I being adventurous ) Hope you like.

DETAILS

1. Card is an 81/2 x 6 cream scalloped edged

2. I then used an Imagination Crafts stencil and

the Imagination Crafts Sparkle Medium,( Canadian

Blue and soft Purple) and stencilled  onto acetate.

3. The design was then mounted onto yellow and brown

card, which I had scalloped the edges to match the card.

I then fastened to the card using brads with gold gem

centres.

4. The whole card was finished off by adding a flower from

Sweet Lilac and held in place by a Lilac gem brad from

my stash.

Well that's all for today my friends as as always,

Take Care and Happy Crafting

Been over to my mums today doing her housework and getting her washing and ironing done.
