Winner of the "Give Away" ...

Hi Everybody,

The day has dawned beautiful and sunny and later this morning we are going to the Craft Show in Leigh.
Some of you have written to tell me that you went yesterday ... and spent loads ... so I hope you enjoy our purchases.

On the way back it will be Sunday Lunch for us and then once I get home I will do another post and show you what I have bought.  I need to get lots of things as I have made so many cards for the Spellbinders shows I am running low.

Any way the main thing you want to know is who has won the lovely "Give Away" that was on offer on Monday

It is you ...

Jean Bullock

and you should have had your email from InLinkz by now so please check your inbox and then let me know your postal address.  You have 48 hours to claim the prize and you will not be disappointed.

The winner of the card has claimed it and that will also be on its way to Marjorie

More later ...

Hugs xx

Friday Freebie 023

Hi Everybody,

Back to pink for this weeks card and I have used several layers with different dies for this one.

The only one not shown on the list at the bottom is the lacy one behind the sentiment and that is called Tranquil Moments.

The beautiful pink satin ribbon is from Mei Flower  with a single rose from Wild Orchid Crafts added to the  double bow

If you would like to win this card then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post.

Then tomorrow come back and check if your name has been selected as the winner and the card will be sent to you wherever you are.

And don't forget that there is a "Give Away" running until Sunday so add your name to that list if you would like to win the Goodies on offer ....    Bank Holiday Give Away 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Create More Flowers ...

Hi Everybody,

Another of the promised videos using the Create a Flower dies from Spellbinders ... and these were shown at the beginning of this month on Create and Craft by your truly!!

This is the Rose that was created in this tutorial and I really like the way this card has turned out.

The background is deeply embossed with the 3-D folder called Delightful Daisies .. I just added the Rose over the Daisy instead !




The card is created in the Hinged Card Style  which is most definitely my favorite way to make cards

The pearl flourish is from Want2Scrap  which is always a special touch to any card for me

Use your pastels, inks, pens or pencils to make the Rose any color that you would like and add it to any of your projects.

You don't need to add the glitter but I like the effect that it gives to the petals.

The one I use is Cheltenham from Glitter Magic as it is really fine and matches well with any color card that you have used.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Remember the Coloring ...

Click to enlarge
Hi Everybody,

Todays card is created using a digital image from Just Inklined  ... it is one of the many images on the CD "The Next Big Thing"

I have colored it with Spectrum Noir pens and pencils and the colors I have  used are ...

Pens      -TB1 TB2 TB4 DG2 DG4 IG2
Pencils  - 069, 070, 076, 045, 048, 049 and 001 was used to highlight the petals and  leaves

Sets of both pens and pencils are available from JGD Crafts   and I have to say that the pencils are fabulous to work with and enhance your coloring immensely

The pointillism background is using the pens in the same colors I use to color the flower and I have gone around the whole flower with a grey shadow using IG2

The ribbon ...  which just happened to match ... is from my "Stash" and the centre of the bow is from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The large pearls are part of  Want2Scrap  Bulk Buy Bling and is a real bargain

Just a reminder that there is a "Give Away" running until next Sunday and so if you would like to win the goodies on offer then add your name to the list ..... Bank Holiday Give Away 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
