Lilac paint fusion card

Good morning all!

Here's my 1st try at the Paint Fusion Lilac stamps

I painted this on some Centura card, so it has a lovely glimmer in the background and I lightly inked the edges, then matted on to lilac card. Before I layered this on to the dark blue card I stamped the lilac stamp around the edge of the blue card using versamark and then again with white Staz on.

All I did to make it into a card was cut two border strips with a Martha Stewart punch and glued them down the sides of a folded A4 centura pearl card, stamped a sentiment and added a ribbon bow, two lilac rosebuds and two pearl headed pins, and three gems on the opposite corner.

I am entering this into the Paperplay - For a Mother challenge.

The Stampman - spring colours

Crafty catz - I spy, something beginning with B - bow

Fab n funky - green blue white

I did try out the fuchia stamps, but not on card, on the front cover of a notebook, so I am waiting for it all to dry then I can put the book back together. So I'll show you that once its all finished.

Thanks for looking

Tatty bye

Hi all I'm back with this weeks challenge at Truly Scrumptious.

Firstly can I just say Wow and Thank you to every one who joined in with our last challenge. I'm sure that we must have had a record number of entries, there were hundreds. I did try to get round to see as many of your creations as I could, and I apologise if I didnt make it to see yours.

Now for this weeks challenge # 58 - Summer Sparkle

What does that say to you? Anything summery with added Sparkle and bling.
Our sponsors this week are Digis with Attitude.

For my card I used an image from our sponsors  - Fortune teller.

I coloured with Copics and added lots of stardust Stickles ( although it doesn't show up on my photo.)

 

You can see the glitter a little better in this close up.

The papers are lovely and summery colours from a K and Co pad layered with lilac pearlescent card.

I added a swirl, some vellum butterflies with gem bodies and some various size flowers, again with stickles stardust glitter on.

Hope you like it!

I look forward to seeing all your lovely summer sparkle creations.

Handmade Monday #15

Happy Monday to one and all, sorry I'm a bit late with this weeks Handmade Monday, I didnt think I had anything to show this week, what with my camera locking up and not being able to get it fixed. But I have been very busy, preparing stock for a craft fair on Saturday, it wasn't very busy unfortunately, but I did sell some of my Paint Fusion range items, so covered my table and fuel plus a little extra.

I have just checked the SD card in my broken camera and found a couple of photos that I was taking before it busted.

This is the pot from last week I decided that I couldn't fit a butterfly on it so just added some liquid pearls along the top border to give a bit of dimension.

This is a wooden money box with a similar design edged with a hologram sparkle embossing powder.

I painted this up to put on my house to replace the weather worn number plaque thats already there, but I didnt stick the numbers on straight away, so I took it with me to the craft fair as a sample and it sold to the first person I showed it to. She took the plaque along with the number 2 and I just have to order one different number, paint it up and post it to her. So it looks like I'll have to paint myself another plaque and number 2.

These next 2 items have now got gold hooks screwed into place along the bottom and 3d sticky pads on the back for putting up.

This is another unfinished wooden plaque, my idea is to stamp the word Garden or Secret Garden and hang it on the garden gate. If anyone has better suggestions on what wording could go in the middle or what other purpose it could be used for please let me know, any suggestions welcome.

The next 2 pics were taken with my daughters cheapo digi camera, hence the rotten photo quality.

This was my first attempt using the new Sunflower stamps from the Paint Fusion range, its just a thin plaque, not really going to be used for anything.

This one is my second go with the Sunflowers and its the top of a circular box, the base part was just painted with a crackle background and distressed a bit. This is another thing that sold straightaway at the fair.

Well thats it I did paint more things, but was unable to take decent photos. Still the good news is I have ordered a new camera out of my catalogue, so that I can pay for it monthly, and I'm hoping it will arrive some time this week and that the picture quality is good, it should be as it was alot more expensive than my other one.

Thanks for looking and dont forget to pop over to 1st Unique Gifts and use the links there to have a nosey at what some other crafters have been up to.

Guest Dt card for Quirky Crafts

Good evening everyone and Happy Easter to all.

I hope the Easter bunny was kind and brought plenty chocolate eggs. My two kiddies enjoyed an egg hunt and found loads of eggs and even a couple of knitted bunnies and chicks that had been placed all around the house.

Now to tell you about my card...

I won a challenge over at Quirky Crafts and they asked me to be a guest designer for this weeks challenge, can you guess the theme of the challenge? 

Yes your right! its The Royal Wedding

As you can see, I used a line drawing of a famous photo of the loving couple and I coloured it with Copics, ( I must apologise to Kate for messing up the colouring on one side of her face).

I layered paper, card and flowers, and used card candy all from Craftwork Cards and some ribbon from stash.

I printed off some union jack bunting in a small size to finish off.

Something completely different, hope you like it.

Sophie's birthday



Here's a commissioned card I have just made for a friend of mine's daughter. As you can see she will be 9 next month and her name is Sophie. I hope I'm ok posting it, I dont think she will see it on here.
I followed Debbies sketch over at Cute Card Thursday challenge. As I was asked to include her name and age on the card, I decided to make an easel design.
The papers are from Papermania Summer Bloom pad.

I coloured Willow Dancing using Copics. This was the nearest I could get to blonde, as the little girl who this is for has lovely blonde hair and I wanted to make it look like her.

I used swirl die cuts and flowers to finish the front detail. 

For the base panel I used the same papers, stamped and embossed her name with Mothers Day Pink powder. I finished it with holographic pink peel off borders and pink pearls.

Here's a view from the side to show the Easel design.

I am going to enter this into these challenges:

I made it to enter One Stop Craft challenge - Plain and Simple. This was a real challenge for me, I'm definately a more is more person, and I just want to add lots more to this.

All I did was stamped and coloured this Bunny image from LOTV with Promarkers, layered it on to some creamy lemon pearlescent card and glued it to a green card base.

I added a strip of ribbon and a stamped sentiment. Thats is, the card blank already had strips of glitter across it.
