Sweet Fungi

Welcome my crafty friends, followers and visitors

I trust you are all well today?. 

 Today starts another challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty and

the theme is ANYTHING GOES easy peasy.

Our sponsors this week are Sparkle N Sprinkle and their prize is 3 Digi Sets

Our other sponsor is Deedee's Digi and their prize is $15 Gift certificate

The image I have used is from Sparkle n Sprinkle and is called

Mushrooms in the Forest and can be found HERE. I must say

I really did enjoy colouring this one.

DETAILS

1. Card base is 8 x8 white card and rounded the edges.

2. I then took dark green card and embossed it using one

of Sheena Douglas embossing folder (sorry cannot 

remember its name), again I rounded the corners, then

adhered it the card.

3. Using the same embossing folder ( in case you cannot make

our the design it is leaves) I embossed another piece of 

lighter green card and adhered this to the other one.

4. A spellbinder oval die was then used to cut out the

the backing for the image again using the dark green

embossed card stock.

5. The image was die cut using SB Grand Decorative Ovals One

onto white card and then coloured using pro markers.

6. To keep the theme of the forest I then cut fern leaves in

different shades of green and arranged them around the 

frame.

7. To complete I added gold Shimmer Dome Stickers from

Docraft and the sentiment Just for You.

I do hope you have enjoyed your visit to my little bit of

blogland and that I may have inspired you join in the

challenge. Come on give it a go!!

Good Morning, My crafty friends, followers and visitors

How are we all today?

Busy day today, domestic chores and washing this morning, then this afternoon

I will be rekindling  an old hobby  (crocheting), by this I mean I will be

trying to remember what all the stitches are with the help of my friend Linda,

who will be giving me instructions.

I of course will be supplying the coffee and biscuits (whoops did I say biscuits)

well maybe one !!

As promised yesterday I have another offering today - hope you like?

DETAILS

1. Card size is 5 x 7 scalloped edge and I have a piece of handmade

paper at the top and orange embossed (spotted) card at the bottom.

Before matting these I placed an orange ribbon around the centre

to hide the join.

2. The image is a Sherri Baldy, (sorry I have forgotten the name)

and I have coloured her using my pro markers. Although you 

cannot see very well I have glittered the little dots around the

frame before adhering her to the card at an angled position.

3. Using a Tattered Lace flourish die and white card I cut

out the flourish and then coloured it to match the image.

4. To complete I added the sentiment (Happiness in Life is to

Love and Be Loved) in the bottom  right hand corner and

a metal butterfly charm.

And that's as they say IS IT for today anyway

I hope you will visit again tomorrow as I will be

showcasing my DT card for Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge

that starts tomorrow at Noon.

Until Next Time

As Always

Good Morning My crafty friends, followers and visitors

Yes it's me again two days in a row WOW must be getting my head round things

at last.  I do aim to blog everyday but one reason or another it never seems to

happen but I think I have enough makes to blog each day this week.

Well I hope you are all well and having a good day so far.

Off to mums today then doctors this afternoon, Hopefully be able to do a little

more crafting later (fingers crossed)

DETAILS

1.  Card base is 5 x7 fancy edged cream card.

To this I have added a piece of lilac ( I know it looks blue)

patterned paper.

           2. The image is from the Norma J Burnells collection and is

      called Mid Summer Dragonfly and I have coloured her 

  using my pro markers, then added glossy accent to 

the flowers, her eyes and the dragonflies wings

 I have then die cut her using SB die Labels Twenty

   Isn't she just adorable?

3. Using lilac satin card I cut another die using the 

same SB die, cut in in half and placed each

piece at either end of the image.

4. I then took more of the lilac  card stock and cut a

border using the Tattered Lace die Trellis Border.

5. With silver  ribbon I threaded it along the border

die before adhering to the card.

To finish off I took some dragonflies that I had in my

stash and used clear gems to enhance them. I added

a bow with a silver  and gem centrepiece.

Thanks for visiting and hope you will call again very soon

Until then

Let's go Walking

Good afternoon, my crafty friends, followers and visitors

How are we all doing today, relaxing crafting I hope. 

 The weather has been awful but or some of you it must have been frightening,

 the winds are sure getting stronger. I have never know weather  like it before

 and if you have been affected by it -

my heart goes out to you.

Anyway on a lighter note I have been playing around on the computer and

found a Cd with some Art Deco work on it, so I thought hey ho lets make

a card using some of these images, so here it is, hope you like?

DETAILS

1. I started out with an 8 x8  card and I  made it into an easel card.

2. From the cd I took the image  and the corresponding backing 

paper. I decoupaged the image and added a purple feather

  trim around it.

3. Using silver mirri card I created a frame then added the pale

blue paper. Another frame was made and this time I added

the patterned paper before adhering  all the card.

4. The image was then added to the card and to add more interest

I added two blue feathers a pearl embellishment, two pearl

stick pins, and pearls down the sides.

5. Again using the the mirri board and patterned paper I created

the stopper to which I added the sentiment Best Wishes and

Pearls.

well that's me for today

As Always

Until Next Time
