Good Afternoon, my crafty friends, followers and visitor's

Well its Sunday already, boy the days and weeks are going so fast, I cannot keep up.

How are we all? hope you are having a great Sunday doing what makes you happy.

Today I want to share another one of my colouring images, you know I never thought

that sitting at my desk, pens and paper, cup of coffee, listening to Westlife could

be so relaxing.  I just seem to loose myself in my own little world.

Anyway here it is, hope you like.

DETAILS

1. Card is 5 x7 cream card stock and I have backed it with

spotty paper.

2. The image is an Elizabeth Bell stamp and I have coloured

her with pro-markers.

3. I used  SB die Heirloom Rectangle  to cut out the image and

then mounted onto purple card before mounting onto the

card using foam pads to give added height.

4. To complete I used a purple bow and three pale lilac gems

(they look pink in the picture).

Well that's it for today my friends.  I will be back tomorrow

with my DT card for Whoopsi Daisy, so hope you can pop back

Until Next Time

As Always

Good Evening, my crafty friends, followers and visitors.

   Well its nearly Friday already, yet another week has flown by, what is going on its no sooner
           Monday then hey ho Friday is upon us.  I suppose for those of you that still work this is a good    
         thing and the week must feel as though it drags, (I know I used to feel that way when I worked).

Well we are now in October and the shops are already getting in their Christmas stocks,

boy each year it seem that Christmas gets earlier and earlier. I must get on with my

Christmas cards this weekend, otherwise it will be next Christmas before they are done.

I wold like to  share with you today a card I am very proud of and I hope you like it too.

DETAILS

            1. Card base is 8 x8 scalloped edge and I have added sliver mirri

            board to it. It is defiantly silver mirri, its the camera that has

         picked up the light and given it the multi coloured effect.

Nice effect though don't you think?

   2. The next layer is a silver/blue satin card and I have die  

                cut the corners using the Robert Adams die (Trellis  Corner)

 I love this die.  The  I adhered it to the mirri board.

          3. The image (sorry I do not know the name) I have coloured

    using my pro-markers and used glossy accent on the 

 bubbles and her eyes.  Once dry I edged round the

image using Versa Colour Ink Cyan,

        4. To complete I have added the sentiments (Happy Birthday 

and With Love)

Well my friends that all I have time for today,

Hope to see you again tomorrow.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting.

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

As Always
