pretty patchwork card

good evening everyone

well all samples have been collected and i was at a loss  so went craft shopping

as you do lol

i got this darling digi  image from Funky Kits coloured on Neenah card with spectrum noir pens

from Crafters Companion 

the backing paper is from a scrap booking kit from nit wits

the lace is a stamp can you believe it!!! yes a stamp is from

Joanna Sheen 

i got two of the lace stamps that dropped through the door the other day

they are just beautiful

i will be getting more in this collection…

you loose no detail at all… even when embossing as i did with sparkly silver embossing powder

i even used the cheap copy paper  it looks like real lace  even close up

i did matt and layer onto core-dination and silver mirri

flash on camera has turned it gold lol

thank you for popping by this evening

a little vintage rabbit

good morning everyone 

have you joined in on the blog hop ?

do pop over to the

 news and views blog

  a great prize on offer once again from

Crafters Companion

here is my card for today

i coloured the stamp image in with spectrum noir pens then heat embossed around the edge in gold

gave it 2 coats of glossy accents to try and get that domed glass feel

i must admit i had to resist  touching it till it was well and truly bone dry… im a devil for touching things i know are still wet  lol

matted and layered onto white card gold mirri and dark brown core-dination card to make the inner frame

cut out the outer frame with dies in gold mirri card

then used peel offs around the edge of the 8”x8”card blank

i just thought this stamp would go so well in a vintage style cameo

i hope you approve

a great card for Granddads

thank you for dropping by today

Fusion Pansy Picture frame

Goodness me it’s nearly dinner time and im just getting straight

realised i hadn’t posted

ok here is a fusion picture frame i used the pansy and swirl stamps

with the sketchy stamp in water colours as a picture in frame

ok you don’t normally get pink pansy but i liked them with the grey frame and the gold embossing on swirls

i did some decoupage on a few of the flowers to get that extra dimension

added the flat back pearls simply because they were still out  from doing the boxes lol

little ballerina in black

good afternoon everyone

well i should have been sorting out my craft room i did  go in there and found this little image

just waiting to be coloured in !!

which i did with Spectrum noir pens from Crafters Companion 

on the stamp it will have a basket to the side but i didn’t want that so rubbed it off

if you used a cotton bud to take off the ink from your stamp carefully  it shouldn’t  transfer the bits you don’t want

i have remembered to make a colour list if you would like to try her

im assuming you got your order in lol and are stalking the postie for there arrival.

I thought i would share her before i added the cut glass glitter to her dress

Colour list i used

Skin…TN1…TN2…TN3…CR1

Hair…GB3…TN5…EB4

Dress…IG4…IG7…IG10…with a tiny touch of black in darkest parts

thank you for popping by
