Enjoy Your Day

Hello again lovely crafters.

Having a play with some Woodware stamps this time.  I really like the way you are able to construct your own image using the different components in these new sets from Woodware.



I  created the background with Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers and added a few splashes of water. I stamped the images using black Distress Oxide ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. I've used TL and MFT dies and some Papermania Liquorice Sherbert paper. The card was completed with some ribbon and pearls.

Wishing You a wonderful Birthday

Hello crafters. Hope all is well and safe with you.

For today's card, I began by creating a background for my sentiment stamp. I used Distress Oxide to colour my card and then brushed my mesh stamp with water before stamping it onto my oxide background to leave an imprint of the mesh design. I used Versafine to stamp the sentiment.


I used these sumptuous papers which have a lovely shimmer - bit difficult to see in the pics. The butterfly was fussy cut from some of the patterned paper.



I used TL dies for the flowers and leaves using more patterned paper. I inked the edges of the flower bases and finished them with a gem in the centre.



Items used
Chloe's sentiment stamp, Woodware Fine Mesh stamp
First Edition Floral Fusion papers
TL Alexandra Lace Panel and flowers
Black gems

Challenges:
Hand stamped Sentiments #340 photo inspiration 
Crafting Happiness #50 AG opt. Red
Crafty Catz #507 AG

Stamps by Chloe

Hello crafters. Hope you're keeping well and safe.

For today's card I delved into the latest magazine kit from Chloe's Creative Cards.

I stamped and glitter heat embossed the floral corner. I then stamped more flowers, heat embossed with WOW glitter embossing powder and die cut with the matching die. These were then coloured with Promarkers and layered onto the stamped panel. The same was done with the leaf stamp, this time I cut them out as there is no die. I filled in the leaves and flower centres with lots of black glitter. I used Tonic and SB dies for the card base and layers.




Challenges:

Craft Rocket Ch. #70 shaped card
Crafty Friends Ch #136 add embellishments
Sweet Stampin anything but a square
Dream Valley #226 add some sparkle
Get Creative  #91 make it sparkly
Try it on Tuesday  cut it out

Ribbon bow and pearls

Vintage Roses

Hello crafters. Hope you are keeping well and safe.

A little bit of shabby chic today. The papers and toppers are all from Dawn Wheeler's lovely Summer House Paper Kit. I distressed and inked all the edges and die cuts with Victorian Velvet.

Blossom Branch

Hello crafters. Hope you're keeping well and safe.

I'm using a couple of dies that I've had out on my desk for a while but just not got around to using them. When I got the wreath die, I knew the branch die would go well with it. What do you think?


 I coloured all the dies with my Promarkers and layered up the flowers which look almost red but are actually a very bright pink. I also had a rummage in my box of ric rac and various trims and selected this sparkly number.The papers are from a nearly finished pad - so more old stash used!

Items used:

Sweet Dixie Rustic Wreath die, Amy Designs Blossom Branch die
DP PM Rose Garden
Gems, ribbon trim

Challenges:



Passion for Promarkers # 541 in the pink
Dragonfly Dreams ribbon, lace, pearls
Use your Stuff # 397 flowers &/or butterflies

Creations in Pink #21 AG mainly pink

Thanks so much for visiting.

Thank You

Hello crafters. Hope you are keeping well and safe.

A different shape of card from me today.


During my paper sort out, I found a pack from Dovecraft (Sugar and Spice) containing some floral die cut sheets and printed paper. I made a few cards, similar in shape and design, layering up the various flowers. I added a sentiment cut with Xcut dies, the arch dies are from Hunkydory. I tucked in a few SW die cut leaves and finished with a few sequins.
