Turquoise and White...

 Hi Everybody,

For todays card I have gone with a deeper colour and used Turquoise Centura Pearl.

It has been embossed with the A4 folder called Argyle  and both are from    Crafters Companion

The finished card is about 7 1/2"  and I have used the Grand Squares.... click the photo to enlarge it.

The beautiful inlay is the Gold Elements One and I have cut it twice to make the square.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts   and feature some of the new Chrysanthemums  that they have in.

The large pearls are from Want2Scrap  and they are some of the Bulk Bling.   A little bow with turquoise ribbon finishes off the card.

More tomorrow ...

The cream has been embossed with an A4 folder called Patchwork and both that and the card are from Crafters Companion

The Spellbinders used are listed below

The Venetian Accents and Motifs set is so delicate and I just love the mask.

I have tucked it in the bottom right along with the beautiful cram flowers from   Wild Orchid Crafts

Little Boy Blue ...

HI Everybody,

Todays card has been created using a stamp from Crafters Companion

It is one I have had for a long time so I don't know if it is still available.

The image has been coloured with Spectrum Noir and then I fussy cut around it .

The card has been made from elements from each of the dies shown and then added to a larger background ... and is a Hinged Card

The blue layer has been embossed with an A4 folder from Crafters Companion called Argyle.

The sentiment is from  JustRite Stampers  and has been heat embossed in silver.  I have edged the Labels 18 with a silver pen

The ribbon is from   Really Reasonable Ribbon   and the gemstones are from  Want2Scrap

The finished card is A5 and will fit into a standard sized envelope.

I am excitedly awaiting the delivery of some new dies and I can't wait to show you some of the ways that I will be playing with them.

More tomorrow ...

White Rabbit ...

Hi Everybody,

Here is my interpretation of the White Rabbit that is part of the set that I am colouring for Isabella ... my Great Grand-daughters bedroom.

He has been coloured with Spectrum Noir and once finished will be framed to hang on her wall and it is quite large.

I have really enjoyed colouring in these pictures and I have taken my time to get the blending just right.

At the end of the month I have a new class starting with The Art Studio and I am in the process of doing the videos now ... got to keep the "Film Crew" busy you see.....

It will be a more in depth tutorial on using Spectrum Noir and as the classes continue I will cover as many tips and techniques as I can.

More tomorrow ... and back to a card I think

Cheshire Cat ...

Hi Everybody,

My daughter wants to create a bedroom in her house, for her Grand daughter Isabella, on the theme of Alice in Wonderland.

She asked me if I would create some pictures that could be framed and added to the walls and of course I said "Yes"

This is the first and it is not yet framed ... but it is quite large.  I have used Spectrum Noir pens to colour the cat.

It is also good practise for my new class that is due with The Art Studio at the end of the month on colouirng with Spectrum Noir

The image itself is from the CD The Next Big Thing from Just Inklined     There are several Alice themed pictures on the CD that I will use to create the set.

The link will take you through to the website for the digital images  but I don't know if the CD is still available to purchase.

Once they are finished I will show you the finished group and just hope that Isabella will enjoy them as she grows up.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
