Some of the Christmas cards i made. Finally making it to blogger

Well i know Christmas has gone but i wanted to share the couple i rescued after the house move when i lost my big box of embellishments so i didn't really have a chance to do too many.  But i have been rectifying that problem steadily since Christmas believe me!

SO ENJOY

So we have a Magnolia stamp and some mulberry flowers sent bought off eBay  the ribbon is from our local fabric store Hanson

Same Magnolia stamp Christmas papers and a paper doilie and a lovely snowflake border from a friend and flowers from the eBay box i bought.

Last bought not least another Magnolia stamp and ribbons from Hansons and flowers that i found from create and craft!

So i managed to do a couple of Christmas cards!  My husband will pay dearly for losing my embellishment box in the move ;-)

Bye for now and plenty more to come

Magnolia by candle light

 Hi There!!

Now i know i have not been about much over the last month or so but i have a very good excuse!

I moved house!  And literally have not been able to use the internet as my go live date with my broadband wasn't until the 4th January...

So......today this is my very first posting on the Creative Creations Challenges DT!!

I am so excited!

Anyway it is anything goes for our very first weeks challenge so i decided to something other than a card (i was a bit bogged down with them over Christmas  and decided to make a candle using a Magnolia Tilda stamp.

So here she is....

I stamped a Magnolia image onto tissue paper and then coloured in making sure i had a sheet of paper underneath as the imprint went straight through.

I used the following colour combo's

                                                                 Hair         E 43, 44, 47

                                                                 Clothes (jeans) B91,93 95                                                                

                                                                 Blouse RV00,02,04

                                                                 Skin R01, E00,01

                                                                 Roses R32,35,37

                                                                 Greenery YG99,97,95,93

I added a layer of ribbon, then lace with a string of pearls and red roses to the base of the candle and added a small metal butterfly near the top of the roses.  I like how this turned out for sure.

One word of advice the colours do tend to come out a lot lighter once added to the candle so i would advise to use darker colours if you want a more vibrant colour scheme.

If you have any questions on how to go about putting an image onto a candle drop me line by email or comment.

Keep following my blog as i have quite a bit to upload over the next couple of weeks

Happy Birthday to you happy birthday to you.....

Hi all! 

 

My card for My Mums Craft Shop Challenges had to be inspired by a song.

 

 So  this one we know very very well....Suitable for literally anyone!

I have been laid low by bad case of flu for over a week and this was all that my poor addled brain would let me come up with!  But hey it is a song and the card is cute!

 

I used a gorgeous Magnolia stamp and i was lucky enough to be given the doily by a friend.  I love the muted pastel colours and the lovely bow and ribbon embellishment as i didnt want to over crowd the card. I hand wrote the sentiment  in a pale blue gel pen.

 

I had a great tip the other week for taking photos and i think this week the photo has turned out quite well if i do say so myself!

 

Well thats all today as i am still not 100% but i will have quite a few cards lined up for you over the next few weks as i did manage to colour quite a few images when ill.

 

As always papers were from My Mums Craft Shop

 

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Seasonal Sentiments

My Mums Craft Shop Challenges

Sentiment Only Card

 

 

Hi there and this week we had  to do a sentiment only card and i chose to do a  christmas card.

 

 

This week i made a card primarily using Hunky Dory cardstock snowflake, red adorable scorable and Holly mirricard.  I hand wrote a sentiment and sprayed it with iridescent glitter spray.

 

I then added a length of sequin ribbon and a bow made from the same ribbon to the card.

I added a  Spellbinders snowflake die cut  in gold glitter stick on paper and finished off with a lovely decorative stick pin.

 

I hope you like my card this week.

 

I would like to enter into the following challenges:

Betty's Hop Any Betty Image

I have taken a break from making christmas cards and decided to make this lovely card!

Ist a lovely  Simply Betty Stamps  digi called Movie Gala Betty

 

 

 

In case you havent noticed i am terrible at taking photos and they dont do this card justice by half!

This one was really simple i coloured the image in with copics and distressed with Tim Holtz inks called Dried Marigold and Tea Dye.

 

I decided to make the card by only using papers from one paper pad!
 

Which was first Editions New Leaf..... i stuck the striped background to the card blank ad then angled the next two layers so they were angled like how you would hold playing cards.
 

I then added my dgi image and used a Memory Box die called Rieviera Corner and a bit of orange cordinations card from the school days car pack to embellish. 
 

I still wasnt quite happy with it so i added three white feathers, two sprays of ribbon in cream and peach and then finished off with Kaisercraft sparklets in daffodil....

So you can see from the blog list below that you should have seen all the other girlies first!
I hope you are enjoying your hop!
