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

Take Care and Happy Crafting

My first card has been made using the image 1960's Lady

from Rick St. Dennis. You can purchase her by clicking on 

this link

DETAILS

1.Started  with a 5 x 7 cream card and rounded the edges.

2. Using paper from my stash I decided to use both spots

and stripes. I wrapped a pink spotted ribbon across

both to conceal the join before adhering it to the card.

3. The image was coloured with the following Copic's

Skin E000,E00.E21,E11,E04, R20

Hair Y28,YR23,Y21,YR31

Dress RV06, RV14,RV13,RV21

Shawl  Y17,Y15,YR15

Lips RV06

I have left the stole across her shoulders white and

used glitter all over it. Glitter was also used on

the feather at the bottom of the shawl.  I have used Adirondack Lights

Pink Sherbet ink around the edges and then added glitter.

4. The image has been cut using Tonic die Elegant Oval Layering.

I then took the next size up in these dies and cut out using

silver mirri board.  This was then adhered to the image frame.

5. The two flourish swirls were done using the Tattered Lace die

and the flowers using Blooms Two from Marianne flower die.

The flowers were done using the left over paper and then glittered.

To complete I added the sentiment Birthday Greeting.

My Second card has been made using the Dress Form Template

from The Cutting Cafe, Link is HERE.

DETAILS

1. I decided to create a shop front for this card by using

two A4 card and a template that I have had for a few

years.

2. The images are supplied with the tailors dummy and

sheets of dresses, skirts and tops. All are white ready

for you to colour as you wish.  I decided to keep with

the theme for the cloth's.

3. One the images were coloured I fuzzy cut them ready

to go into the shop front.  I used paper from my stash

as the backdrop then placed the three images into

each window. To make the window look more

interesting I used peel off's (Yes I said peel off's those

long forgotten little items) and added Hats to the dummies

shoulder bags and shoes. Even little necklaces around the

dummies necks.

4. Again I have used white peel off borders around the window

frames to add more interest.

The sentiments are also included within the kit I think there are

around nine different ones on one sheet.

I have added another picture  showing the shop front from a

different angle, to show the depth of the window.

Well my Friends, I do hope you will join our challenge

and looking forward to seeing all your spots and stripes

designs.

Until Next Time

As Always

Prize 3 Images

My card has been made using an image from Sponsor

Drawn with Character and is a cute little owl. You can purchase
it HERE

DETAILS

1, Card size is 8 x 8 and I have matted it with paper taken from

the collection by First Edition called Paper Flowers. It was

one piece and I have cut it diagonally and used the reverse

image on the bottom section. To cover the join I have laid

a piece of Blue straw roll from The Works.

2. The backing for the image has been taken from the new

Polkadoodles Cd Twiggy & Toots which I opened up 

in MCS and then took the image and placed it as if

he is sitting on the branch. I then printed it onto super

smooth card. Once printed I coloured the image using

Copic's and then added some 3D Gloss finish to the

eyes.  Using a cutting edge from Tonic's new die 

     Art Nouveau I cut out the image and scene. I then

went around the edges using Pan Pastels to soften them.

3. The flourish's are from the  Tonic die Royal Fern and I 

have coloured then using pan Pastel.

4. The image was adhered using foam pads and before

it was stuck down I added two blue feather from my stock.

To complete  I  added the sentiment cut from the Tattered Lace 

Birthday die and again using Pan Pastel went over the whole

sentiment.

Please visit our challenge blog and take a look at the stunning

work created by my team buddies, as they really do work

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

How are we all doing?.  Are you coping with this weather?, its so up and down

and this wind is driving me nuts. I hate the wind, I don't even like a breeze,

how about you?

Well nearly the end of another week and can you believe it's nearly May

it will be Christmas  before we know it at this rate.

Though I had better get my blog post done early today as with it being

Thursday, my cousin Mary is due to visit and we will be popping out

before we get into crafting, so busy day but we never complain about

it being busy when we craft do we?

Today I have made a card using one of the new Tattered Lace dies

and Decoupage CD, Charisma Peony.

DETAILS

1. I started with a 5 x7 cream card and matted it with a

backing paper from the Cd.

2. Next using the Sue Wilson Die, Background from the

Greek Island Collection  I cut it out in white card.

3. Using the Tattered Lace Cd Decoupage Charisma Peony

I selected the pink collection and printed it onto super

smooth card stock.  Once printed I then took the

die that accompanies the cd placed over one section

of flowers (you get four on a sheet) and cut. All that

remained was for me to decoupage them up but I

also left some single and arranged them around

the background die to create a trellis look. The

leaves are also included.

4. To complete I made a small bow for the centre and

added two silver metal butterflies.

Easy Peasy card to make but I think it is quite delicate looking

and these flowers are going to come in very useful.

Anyway that's it from me today, my friends

and I hope to be back tomorrow. Thanks for calling

and leaving me your comments, I really do read

each and everyone and appreciate you taking the

time to visit.  Bless each and everyone of you.

Until Next Time

planned.

Today sees the start of a New Challenge over at Creative Craft Cottage 

and the theme is - THREE OF A KIND

Our sponsor is the fabulous EAST WING

 and the prize they are offering

More details and the winners from the last challenge can be

found on the challenge blog and we would love you to pop

and maybe leave a comment for them.

DETAILS

1. I have used quite a large size card for this one, its 7.5" x 9.5"

and scalloped edged.

2. First layer is black card, then I used a teal coloured leather look

paper from my stash, next a black layer again and a piece of

gold mesh effect paper also from my stash.  Before these

were matted onto the card I took black ribbon and wrapped

it around and down.

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

a Tattered Lace die. I used the same die to cut two black 

frames and joined them in the middle to create a large frame

to encase the image frame. This was then adhered to  the

card using foam pads.

4. For the theme I used three pearl hearts and placed them

down the black ribbon.

The sentiment Best Wishes from my stash.

There you have my Three of a Kind. As long as it's three of the

same thing you can put it on the card, easy so come on

have a go and be in with chance of winning some fabulous

images.

Until Next Time

DETAILS

across ( I know it does not show but the writing on the  ribbon
reads It's a Girl).

foam pads to give more height adhered it to the card.

across the top, I have had for many years and I think
it's so cute.

      and using a Momento  Collection  Ornamental Lace die
created the frame and adhered it the embossed card
before attaching to the card base.

To complete I added flowers from my stash and using  Cosmic Shimmer
Vintage Pink Pearlescent PVA created the little pearls in the centre
of each flower on the embossing.

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends. Followers  and Visitors

Hope my little blog find you all ok and able to cope with the weather.  Some

of you must be experiencing some serious conditions and I hope you are

all keeping safe and warm.

In my part of the world (Cheshire) its not too bad at present. We have it cold

but lovely sunshine in the daytime, you could be forgiven for thinking its

spring , that is until you go outside.

Once again I must extend a very warm welcome to my new followers, I am

excited when I see that another visitor  has decided to join my little band and

I hope I can keep you all entertained and maybe, just maybe give you some

inspiration along the way.

DETAILS

1. 8 x8 white card stock and to this I have added a piece of

silver mirri board that has been embossed with one of the

new Tattered Lace folders- the name is ALL OVER FLOURISH.

2. Before adhering to the card I wrapped a piece of lace around

the mirri board.

3. The image is one of  Norma J Burnell's and she is called

                 Firefly and I have coloured her with pro markers and used glitter

             on her wings and on the fireflies. Then it was die cut using SB

    Regal Frame. The edges have be inked using Versa Magic

 Purple Hydrangea.

4. I layered the image on an angle onto three paper dollies

before attaching to the card and attached Lilac flowers 

from my stash down one side.

To complete I added the sentiment that I again inked with Purple  Hydrangea and

there you have it ! Sorry  the picture quality is not so good but I could not

brighten it anymore because of the refection from the mirri board.

Well my dear friends, that is it for me today, hope to see

you all again tomorrow as it will be my inspirational  DT post

for Penny's Paper Crafty that starts at Noon tomorrow.

Until Next Time

Details

around the edges to give the effect of pearls.

2. The image is from the  Sassy and Classy Cd and I have coloured

 with flex markers.  She was then cut into an oval shape and using

the SB die Layered Scalloped Posy I created the frame using

purple satin card.

The Couture Creations Ornamental Die.  To the borders I 

added the flowers created by using a Tattered Lace flower

die for the larger ones and SB Bloom Two for the smaller.

4. To complete Lilac feathers, stick pins, lilac gems and a purple bow

with a Frosted Lilac Dazzler to finish.

Lilac Sparkle

Good Morning my crafty friends,followers and visitors,

Welcome to my blog for today, I hope everyone is well?.  We have had some

lovely weather this week and you would not know that is was the end of

September especially on Tuesday as we had clear blue skies and sunshine.

I even had to take my coat off in town as it was that warm.

Sorry I have not blogged since Monday but somehow the days seem to be running

away from me and what with one thing and another before I know it, its evening

and tea time.  After that I usually sit down with hubby to watch some TV, then

the usual happens, Yes Jennifer falls asleep.

Anyway I hope you will like today's offering.

DETAILS

1. Card is 8 x8 scalloped edge and I have matted it with Lilac

card that I have embossed using Creative Expression folder

Quilted Flower.

2. I then took a piece of white card and masked it using the

Creative Expressions mask Filigree and then used Cosmic

Shimmer Sparkle Texture Paste  Lilac Blush to create the

pattern.

3. Whilst I waited for it to dry I took the petal dies that was a

freebie with the new Tattered Lace Magazine and cut out

12 large petals and  20  small petals out of lilac card, These

are great dies and so easy to create a stunning flower. Once

the petals were all folded I adhered them to a piece of card,

that had been punched out into a circle to create the flower

  and finished it by adding a gem to the centre.

4. Once the paste was completely dry I adhered the flower

to the centre then using foam pads I adhered it at

an angle onto my card base.  To complete I added

the sentiment (With Love ) from my stash.

Well that's all for today my friends

Ringing In Christmas

Good Morning, My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Looks like it is going to be a nice day, sun is shining and a day of

crafting planned, what more could we ask for?.

Today I want to share another Christmas card with you all, hope you like

DETAILS

1. Card size is 8 x 8 with scalloped edges.  I embossed

down the side with one of the Tattered Lace embossing

folder ( sorry cannot remember the name, as it belongs to

Mary and I only borrowed it)

2. The wreath is a stamp by Chloe and I have coloured

it using Tim Holt distress inks.  I then added a little

glitter and tiny red gems to represent the berries.

Sorry it's not very clear.

3. I then used the bell die from Tattered Lace and

cut into it so that just the bells were left.  They

were cut out of silver mirri card and I mounted 

them with foam pads to give extra height.

4. To finish off, using the Tonic Jingle Bells die

I cut it using pearl card and glittered it for that

little extra sparkle. 

Before I go I would like to welcome my new followers

and hope you like what you see and will continue to

support me.

Well my friends, that it for today, off the peg out my washing

so until next time,

 As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting
