Pounds and Ounces

Morning... so last one of my cards with the new images for this week.  I hope you have loved them as much as I do.

This little cutie is Pounds and Ounces.. how sweet is the little bear!

I printed off the digi image on neenah solar white and then coloured it in with my copic markers.  I seem to have a thing for bright colours at the moment so I went for a cool blue and vibrant pink as the accents.

I then used the MFT Stitched rectangular frame in Temping Turquoise card stock from Stampin Up twice to give it a bit of dimension.  This is mounted on doodlebug Kraft in Colour DSP.

I created a label for the sentiment and add a couple of glitter card stock hearts to finish it all off.

Thats all from me for today.. Have a great day

Edward the Scruffy Elephant

Happy Saturday Peeps... I have another card for you using the new LOTV release that's was out earlier this week. This one is using Scruffy Edward.  He has def been a favourite within the design team.

I printed off the image onto neenah card stock before colouring in with copic markers. This a a fabulous image for beginners as it has some larger areas for you to practice your shading.
I added a simple sentiment from Clearly Besotted stamps and then trimmed down the panel before mounting it onto to some lemon and lime twist card stock from stampin up. The panel is then mounted onto a pacific point card base from stampin up.

I extended out the line across the bottom of the image and added a little shading to it.

That's all from me for today.. hope you have a fabulous Saturday

Best Friends

Morning.. Happy Saturday everyone! I have a busy weekend ahead so I did a little crafting on Thursday evening and made about 8 cards! I have no idea where my mojo has re-appeared from but I am making the most of it!

This was one of the cards I made for this weeks CAS(e) This Sketch. I'm not really one for creating scenes with masking but I had this idea for the sketch and the little kitties from Simply Sweet Stamps were Purrfect!

I stamped the cats onto masking paper and then using my misti I stamped the cats to show at the front and then masked them off one by one until I have created the little groups. Unfortunately they are now only available as a digi set so this would be more difficult.

I then coloured in the cats using my copic markers, adding some bright colours to them.  The sentiment is from the same set.  I trimmed the panel before mounting it on a basic black card base from Stampin Up.

I really love how the card turned out!

Here is the sketch from CAS(e) This Sketch #269 that I used for inspiration.

Hope you all have a fabulous Saturday...

Out Of This World....

Hello... So I bought some alcohol inks about 8 years ago and they had sat pretty much unused until Christmas when I was messing around with some backgrounds. 

I decided I should probably make some cards using them so I made two cards out of one of the sheets I had done.

I cut out a number of circles using the Pierced Circles from Avery Elle and created a panel which I used on both of the cards below.  I like the way they look like the globe.

The cards are finished off with matching card stock (Smokey Slate and Emerald Envy from Stampin Up), a simple sentiment from Clearly Besotted and a star brad from the stash.

I really need to use the rest of the panels.... hopefully I can do something with them this weekend...

Have a fabulous Friday

Babys Washing Line

Hey Y'all.... I have another card using an image from this weeks New beginnings release from Lili Of The Valley.  This super cutie is washing line!

I sized the digi stamp to be 14.5 cm wide so it fit across the card panel, although I had to draw in the washing line to connect it to the side of the panel which was easily done with a fine liner from copic.
I then coloured in the image using copic markers and added a sentiment from Clearly Besotted stamps.
Its finished off with a little wink of stella and some doodles around the edge of the panel before being mounted on a Sweet Sugarplum cardstock base from Stampin Up.

I am really loving the back grounds from Photoboards so cannot wait to get it all set up properly when they arrive.

Hope you have a great Thursday

One Wild Ride

Hello... Today I have a masculine card for you as I try to make cards to fill up spaces in the box as well as use all those hundreds of un-used stamps from my stash.

This set is One Wild Ride from Stampin Up, but I wanted to create something a little different with it...

I stamped the motorcycle image onto some Stampin Up DSP paper using Versafine Clair black ink and then mounted the panel onto a black top folding card blank.
The sentiment from the same set is heat embossed on white onto a black strip of card and then added it using foam tape.

That's all from me for today... I'll be back later in the week, have a great day

New Beginnings

Morning..  It's release day over at Lili Of The Valley and the theme for the release is New Beginnings.  As you are aware, LOTV stopped selling Rubber Stamps last month to concentrate on Digi Stamps and this is the first official release.  I have 3 cards to show you over the next couple of weeks and this is the first one using Clouds!

I printed off the image ensuring that I had sized it to fit the majority of a 4 1/4 by 5 1/5 note card and then coloured it in with copic markers in fairly bright colours.  I then drew a pencil line where I wanted the image to hang over the edge and using my craft knife I cut in between the images and then fussy cut around the overhang.

This is then mounted over a strip of Doodle bug DSP from Kraft In Colour pack.  The sentiment was stamped on a scrap on Neenah using the Stampin Up Labeler Alphabet and cut out and placed over the edge.

I have used this weeks CAS(e) this Sketch #268 as inspiration.  I hope you like how I have used the sketch.

I was lucky enough to win last weeks CAS(e) this sketch.  It's one of my favourite challenges and a staple when I craft so check it out if you have never taken part.

I borrowed my friends Photo-board to take these pics to see if I liked them.  I love the effect I placed an order so will be able to use them soon. If you want to have a look click on my referral code HERE

I had a fabulous day yesterday in Brighouse on my Copic 4 colouring class with the amazing Faye Wynn-Jones. If you have never tried one of the classes check them out HERE.  Its so much fun to spend time with crafty friends, so a little shopping with Tracy from Dies to Die For  and spend the day colouring.

Hope you have a lovely Monday
