Feed the Birds - Sunday 27th April 2014

Good afternoon Friends,

I hope you are all having a happy Sunday..a quick post from me today, with my latest Design Team card for Nicecrane Designs.

Have you got any crafting done this weekend? Weekends are usually the time I don't get much crafting time because we are both home and there are places to go and things to do! However, I did get a bit of time this weekend...yesterday I planned my first DT projects for Sam Poole. I'm going to work on them tomorrow and that's all I can say at the moment!

I also had a play with our next planned workshop project..again just  a  play, nothing made as yet. This afternoon there were a few cards I had to make for other people and then I decided to make a 'quick' card with some Lavinia stamps I bought at Ally Pally..well I have no idea where Mr Mojo had gone today, but I wasted about two hours and came away with nothing! Hey-ho! It happens.



Anyway, to today's card: the image is black and white but heavily shaded, so I just decided to give her a brightly coloured dress and hair, but hold back on the rest of the girl. I used drawing inks to colour. I stamped her twice and layered the image to give some depth.

I backed the card with paper from Graphic 45's ' Secret Garden' and I die cut the image and layer using Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles and Romantic Rectangles, inked at the edges with Tea Dye distress inks. I used Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms to create the flowers.

The sentiment was amongst my stash!

Nicecrane has many many digital images that are both pre-coloured and digital stamps...pop over and have a browse!   http://nicecranedesigns.com

That's all for today... thanks so much for stopping by!

Love and Hugs,
Carole X

Halloween DT Card - Friday 13th September

Good morning friends,

Firstly an apology! My post scheduled for Saturday popped up early, so I have rescheduled.. sorry if you happened to see it during the short time it was there ...


Well today's the day and looking at the date, I'm glad we're not superstitious....a quick post and card today..thought this was quite apt!


I had planned a page layout of our road trip but with packing and Penny hen problems again at the last minute, I had a change of plan.


Instead a quick card from a fabulous Halloween image from Nicecrane designs..check out all the vintage gorgeousness on the site! I usually concentrate on colouring the digi stamps for my design team posts, but this time it really had to be a quick card and I wanted to show that by taking an image and embellishing it with buttons, a card is made!

I matted and layered the image on black and orange card and embossed the background with an embossability folder, which I then sprayed with silver cosmic shimmer missed. I added a double bow, some bakers twine and a pumpkin ribbon from stash.


Normally at this time of year I would be bombarding you with Halloween cards, but this year there just hasn't been time...keep calling by though because I will have a Halloween 'make' to share over the next week.


Well by the time you read this, we should be in our Virgin Atlantic plane somewhere 'up there'..but I have posts scheduled and will post extra photos if I can!


Take care all,

Love and Hugs,

Carole
