DETAILS

1. Using an oval die I created the card base
with brown card stock.

2. Then with  two more oval dies in decreasing
sizes I cut the next two layers from paper
from my stash.

3. The image was printed onto super smooth
card and coloured with my Copic's , inked
      around the edges with Tim Holts broken china.
    I then die cut it using the SB died Labels 46. 
Again using Labels 46 and brown card I cut
 another frame and mounted the image
onto this.

4. I took the birds from paper that I had in 
       my stash mounted them onto card and cut 
      them out, I then adhered them around the
frame.

Prize 3 Digi images of winners choice

Karleigh Sue

   

Prize 4 Digi images of winners choice.

My first DT make is using an image from Lemon Shortbread and

is called Sweet Lolita Bouquet and can be purchased HERE

DETAILS

1. Using an 8 x8 card I created an easel card. I embossed two sheets 

of pearlescent card with the new Crafters Companion  Embossing

folder( Parquet), cut to the required size and adhered them to the card.

2. The image was coloured with Copic's, I have  chalked the edges to

give a softer look and then die cut using a  Tattered Lace die.

3. The large frame down the left was done using Tonic Mystic Vine

die. The flourishes with Tonic Flourish dies and the flowers using

SB Blooms Two, the butterfly is also from SB.

4. The stopper was created  using the Tattered Lace Trent Border die

I cut two and secured the inners of the bottom one, then added the

other minus the inners so that I could gain the height to hold the card.

To complete I added pearls the the stopper, flowers and butterfly.

My second card has been made using the image Apple of My Eye

from Karleigh Sue and can be purchased HERE.

DETAILS

1. Card size is 6 x7.5 and I have rounded the corners. Matted using paper from

First  Edition Paper Pad but before adhering to the card I cut an aperture

in the centre.

    2. I die cut the lattice and adhered this to the card. The image has been coloured

 using Copic's and then fuzzy cut and mounted on to the card using foam pads.

3. To create the flourish's I used the Tonic Flourish Die and also used one

of their corner dies.

4. I arranged flowers  down the flourish and added red gems to the lattice

frame and on half of the circle.

This is an easy challenge and we  would love to see lots of you

joining in and we look forward to seeing your creations.

Until Next Time

As Always

in landscape and backed it using a pale blue satin card that

I embossed with Crafters Companion Embossing folder

Distress.

Tri Fold

Good Morning, My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Hope you are well? Quick  post today as off to mums this morning

for my usual domestic chores.  Once you retire holidays don't seem to

bother you and you just carry on as normal.  

Not that I am complaining I love being retired

Today my card has been made using the new Tri-Fold die from

Ruby Red Crafts and I must say it was a doddle to use.  Should you

fancy having a go the link to the store can be found Here.

DETAILS

1. The trifold card was created using an A4 sheet of white card.

2. All the panels were also done using the Tri fold die as

you get all the panels included, Great No Measuring.

3. The panels were done with paper from my stash and

I have decorated them with various bits from my stash.

4. The centre was taken from the Hunkydory  Little Book 

of Birdsong and all I did was trim it to fit into the space.

Nice and easy and I must say I am impressed with

this die.

Well my friends, that's your lot from me today,

Hope you will pop back tomorrow as I will

have my DT head on for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends New Challenge

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter 

Until Next Time

As Always

Roses are Red

Good Morning, My Crafty Friends, followers and Visitors.

Hope you are all well?' Nearly the weekend and the Easter break.

According to the news, travel is predicted to be horrendous over this period, so I 

hope if you are doing any travelling that you leave extra time for your journey.

Personally I don't like going to far on bank holidays, as its to much hassle getting stuck

in traffic jams and usually once you get there, it seems as though the whole of the

population has had the same idea as you.

So I will be chilling out at home, hoping for some nice weather ha,ha,ha.

anyway my friends whatever you get up to, enjoy it.

Today's make has been taken from the Polkadoodles CD Olivia Moonfly

hope you like.

DETAILS

1. Card size 7 x 5 and I have matted a doily onto it

2. The image from the cd Olivia Firefly has been coloured
with Copic  and then mounted onto an oval frame.

3. Using some lace from my stash I created a border around the
frame before adhering it to the card with foam pads.

4. The sentiment was also from the cd and the rose buds
from my stash.

That's all for today my friends, hope you will pop back tomorrow

Until Next Time
As Always
