Another Spectrum Noir Tutorial...

Hi Everybody,

Click to Enlarge

Now here is a card with a difference and not one you would send out on a regular basis.

But having said that if you knew your recipient really well it would be sure to get a smile as a birthday card.

This one has been done for a Halloween Card and the image is from a Just Inklined   CD "The Next Big Thing"

To be honest I don't really know if it is still available or has been discontinued.

Any way the main reason for showing this is to tell you that there is a new tutorial out in the Colour Class Series using the Spectrum Noir Pens .

Colour Class - Reds   and in the video I have used the image that I thought was the cabbage .... Doh!!

Still I hope you will enjoy the tutorial as this seems to be the colour most people are a bit scared of.

One lucky winner will get the new  CD Cherry Blossom Lane ... plus a pack of beautiful   Pearl Flourish "Bling"  from Want2Scrap   ... plus a Card Stand Die from Joy Crafts so that you can display the cards you create.

The CD has lots of beautiful characters and they come two different ways ... one for you to colour yourself and the other is ready coloured for you if you don't want,  or feel confident enough,  to colour your own.

There are matching envelopes and inserts, as well as background scenes and the most gorgeous papers you could want.

Here is what you need to do.... become a follower if you aren't already ...  or have bought something from   " My Shop" .....  and leave me a comment please.

New Card...

Hi Everybody,

This pretty cards is from the new PolkaDoodles   CD called  Cherry Blossom Lane and it is gorgeous.

There are some really fabulous characters, embellishments, flowers, sentiments and papers on their for all your digi crafting needs.

And this is just to wet your appetite because in a few weeks time  I am going  to be giving away ... to one lucky winner ... a CD of their very own.

And PolkaDoodles are bringing out a set of stamps that will coordinate with the CD ... for all you stamping experts.

Everything on this card is from the CD ... the image,  the scene, the sentiment and even the flowers.

All I have added in is the Bling to frame the image, the white ribbon, bow and button, and I have added in some flat backed  pearls to the centre of each flower.

So you will need to pop back regularly to see when it is on offer ... become a follower ... and then once the post goes live you can leave me a comment too.

Thinking of You ...

Hi Everybody,

It is very late in the day to be doing a Blog post but never the less here I am....

This is another Spellbinder card and this one us using the Labels 20 in the centre with the sentiment layered on top.

The other dies used are the Floral Doily Accents and Motifs.

I have used the border and created a central panel with Centura Pearl card which has been embossed.

Then I have double layered white satin and organza ribbon and wrapped it around the panel, and along that I have added in a line of pearls.  Pushed through the bow is a beautiful glass beaded Hatpin with a pink Rose in the centre of the glass.

The Labels 20 has the addition of matching pearl   "Bling" from Want2Scrap   and large pearls have been added to the centre of the bow and each of the corner pieces.

I have used foam pads to separate the layered the sentiment and the Labels 20 onto other parts of the floral Doily shapes to create the large panel that they all sit on.   The floral  paper is in a lovely shade of turquoise 

It has been matted and layered with white and turquoise card and an "A" frame created to display it... and it is an 8" card ... and have you noticed ... not a flower in sight !!

New Hatpins

Click to Enlarge

 Hi Everybody,

I have been busy adding in beautiful Hatpins to "My Shop" and these are some of the newest ones to be made.

They have pearls, glass beads, fabric beads and rhinestones in them ... and some have charms attached to them also.

They are 3" ling pins and they come complete with end protectors  ...  so no nasty accidents with them.

I have used only the best quality materials that I can find and they are in a mixed pack of gold and silver coloured pins.

And they will not fall apart with use.

This is a new selection that has arrived today and they are gorgeous.... I can't wait to get busy making them up.

Everything I make ...  hatpins, cards,  flowers, butterflies are all made in a smoke free,  pet free environment.  And I will be adding some into the shop later.

This close up shows you the detail in some of the
items and those rhinestone Shambala beads are so beautiful.

But they would look wonderful as Hatpins on a wedding card.

So it is snowing here and I have hatpins to make up ... can't sit here all day chatting.

Bye for now
