Not Quite My Size

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Well today I celebrate my 65th Birthday, as its Monday I will
be over at my Mums for the morning and this will be the
first time in years that I get to spent time with mum on my birthday.
I know she is looking forward to that, so I think a bit of cake has
to be the order of the day, sod the diet LOL.

Now down to business!!!

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 

                              Feeling Blue/ Use The Colour Blue                                     

                                 and we are sponsored this fortnight by

Sherri Baldy

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 and have a peep.  

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
Take Care and Happy Crafting

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

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

it yourself.

     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

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

ANYTHING  GOES

Our sponsors for this challenge are :-

Bugaboo

Prize - 7 digi images of winners choice 

and

Oddball Art

Prize- 3 Images from their store

Again I have two card to show and I will try
to keep the details shorter.  They are both
made using images from Bugaboo

Card 1
                1. 8 x8 card, matted with papers computer generated from MCS

          2.  Created the border with Martha Stuart punch and the oval
frames are from Tonic .

            3.  The image was printed out and coloured with Copic markers
Added pink bow with gem centre to the top.

This image is named Kidz punky Topper and you can purchase it HERE.
=====================================================
Card 2
1. Card is 7 x7 and I have matted it with burgundy card

       2. Image printed out and again coloured with Copic markers

3. The backing paper is from  the Paper pack by Lozzy named
Squares and is just great to use with this card, with all the
autumnal colours in it.I cut this out with a Tonic die and
matted it onto the card base.

           4. The image was die cut using SB die and mounted using foam tape.

The wording was generated (first time of use, hence why the letters are
quite large ) with my Brother  Scan-N-Cut but I think they lend
themselves well to the card.

Again the image is from Bugaboo and it entitled  Autumn Owl
and the link to purchase is HERE

Well I have tried to condense the details, so without further ado
its over to you.

I do hope you will visit the challenge blog and take a look

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Well back from my holiday and back to reality,had a lovely break and

nice and relaxed.  Will share more later.

Its time again for another challenge  over at Creative Craft Cottage Challenge Blog

Our theme for this fortnight is:-

SPOTS  or STRIPES

We have two sponsors for this challenge and they are

Prize = 2 Digi Image of Winners Choice

and

we want you to play along and have some fun.

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

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

and then cut out the panels to fit my card.

2. The image as I have said is from The Stamping Boutique and

      was printed out onto super smooth card stock.  I have coloured

it using my Copic's. Once coloured I  cut it out using one 

of the new Tonic dies -Art Nouveau Layering Die Set.

Another layer was cut out of black card and then adhered

to the first die.

3. Again using the smaller dies in the set I cut two and

then the sentiment was stamped into the centre.

with the colours one was cut in black card and one in

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Happy 1st of May to you all, maybe now the weather will start to pick back up

but don't hold you breath.

How are you all doing today, ready for the long weekend?

Usual today for me I'm afraid, off to mums to carry out my domestic chores

then back this afternoon  hopefully doing some crafting.

Today's card has been made using one the digi images that I won from
Holley and is again one of Sherri Baldy's Bestie images, which I love

A Big thank you to Holley and I hope she likes what I have done with her.

DETAILS

1. Started with an 8 x8 pink card and matted it with paper from
the paper pad Rose Garden from First Edition.

2. Next layer was a panel of White Spider Net. On top of that
I added a heart shaped doily.

3. The image was printed onto super smooth and coloured
using Copic's and the die cut with a circle die from SB.

4. With the next size up circle die, I used another piece of
paper from the same pad and then mounted the image
onto this at an angle.

5. The outer frame is from Tonic and before adhering to the
image I coloured the edges with Pan Pastels.

6. The butterfly borders were created with the Joy die
Butterfly border and cut out of White Pearlescent card.

7. The lace roses were cut to length to create a border down
the side. I then added a silver butterfly and three gems.

To complete I made a bow, left long tails and twisted them
before adhering to the card. A heart slider was added to the bow.

Until Next Time

Good Morning

 My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Well its Saturday, the weekend is here, anything exciting planned? or

will you just be chilling out.

I would like to welcome my newest follower Ladycakes and thank you for

following and I hope I can entertain and maybe bring a little inspiration as

we scroll through blog land.

Today I am sharing a card I have made using the new Eden Cd from

Polka Doodles.  If you like a bit of fairy fantasy, then take a look

at  this cd. I don't think you will be disappointed.

DETAILS

1. Started with an 8 x 8 card and matted it with pink

glitter card.

2. Next layer used was a piece of lilac flock paper that

has been sitting in my bit box for around 4 years

(I am not joking, it was one of those papers that

you just want to look at but not use)

3. The image is a pre- coloured one from the cd and I have

cut  out  the frame again in pale lilac card using the

SB Nestabilities Label 46 but only used part of the die

and I then adhered it over the image to act as the frame.

4. I used the Tonic Butterfly over the edge die and cut

four out of light and dark pink patterned paper 

and then adhered these down the sides of the card.

5. The top was created using Heartfelt Creations Raindrops on

Roses die again out the the same patterned paper as the

sides.

6. I have added a lace border along the bottom. The

sentiment (Believe in Love) that has been covered

down the side with mini flowers from Tattered Lace.

I also added the white flourish as I thought it 

needed something in that corner.

The flower was made using ribbon with a lilac brad

in the centre and I have used a scrap of lilac

 ribbon to create the tails. The pearls were made

 using Cosmic Shimmer PVA Purple Violet.

Hope you like and that you will call  back

soon and maybe, just maybe I might have hit 80 Followers

YOU NEVER KNOW.

Well my Friends, that's all from me today.

Until Next Time

As Always

I would like to enter this into the following challenge

Polkadoodles Challenge week 13 Use a Die

Anniversary Wishes

Good Afternoon,

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Firstly I wold like to welcome Denise, who is my latest follower  and

I hope you enjoy your visits.

Secondly, Apologies for no post yesterday, the day just seemed to run away

with me. Tried to get things sorted but just doing one card seemed to take

me forever. Thursday as you know is visiting day for Mary so I am

always pressed for time, must get more organised  (says she).

Anyway today I am showing you a card for my friend and  neighbour who

celebrated their anniversary a couple of weeks ago and now I thing its

ok for me to share.

DETAILS

1. White  8 x 8 card that I embossed and added black Cosmic

Shimmer Glossy PVA to create the pearls.

2. Next layer was black card, then using one of the new

Tonic Dies I cut the frame out of white pearlescent 

card and adhered it to the black frame.

3. Using back card stock I cut the flourishes and flower

and placed them down the side.

To complete I added black ribbon and secured the ends with

small dazzlers. I then created  a box and also decorated

it with black Tonic large corners, flourishes and 

flowers. (picture below)

I am not being morbid using black and white but these

are the colours that my friend loves.

Well I hope you all have a pleasant evening, off to do the

 blog rounds and catch up on some DT work.

Hope you will call back tomorrow as I will be showing

my DT work for Creative Craft Cottage.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting
