Lacey Nested Ovals & Viviva Colorsheets

 Hi Everybody,

The Oval is always one of my go to shapes as I really like the elegance this shape gives. And this one has been layered with foam tape to give extra dimension to it.

The Roses are stamped and die cut from the Rambling Rose and after I have added them to the oval panel I have lifted the edge of each rose for more shape

The  Roses have been water coloured and I have used  Viviva Colorsheets  They are handcrafted patches of water colour that come in a booklet for you to use.

You only need a tiny dip into them with your wet brush to pick up the colour and they will last you for ages 

You can also mix your own shades on the mixing palette at the back of the booklet and so you will never be short of the shade that you want.

Once they are dry again the will fit neatly into a pocket, along with your water brush, for you to paint on the go whenever you would like

 

This  card could be for any occasion and added to another shaped card if you wished. I have just created this as a standalone version

Play with the shape and see what you prefer landscape, portrait or added to a 5x7 base

 

I thought I would use peachy orange as this is not a colour scheme I go to very often and I do really like it whenever I do.

More tomorrow ...

Perfect Panels & Lovely Layers Circle Card

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is created with pone of my favourite collections and I love the results that I get every time I use any of the shapes that are available.

This one has several layers all created with foam tape and then tiny gemstones dotted around the edge.

It could be for any occasion and used at any time of year, and will surely help you to get your MoJo back on track.

The video will show you how I created this one and it is easy to do. Just be sure to look very carefully at your dies and where the cutting edges are placed.

Winner

 Hi Everybody,

Thank you so much if you joined me for the “LIVE” Craftalong on Wednesday and apart from the hiccup at the start when I couldn’t get the camera to point down to the desk, I think the rest of it  went quite well.

I recognised many names that where there but because I also couldn’t get my iPad to connect I couldn’t answer any of the questions or comments that you made. I have since been back in to the page and done what I could. So thank you again if you joined me.

The sun is shining here today but I know some parts of the country have been badly flooded with the latest storm. I feel so sorry for you and I hope you have managed to get a .title but straighter now the storm has passed. It must be dreadful for you especially with the pandemic as well.

I have now done the draw for yesterday’s offering of the magazine with the scoreboard and the winner is 

Maria Muller

Would you email me your postal address please to 

christina@card-making-magic.com

and I will get it in the post to you as soon as I can. Please let me know that you have it safely and I hope you put it to good use.

Friday Freebie - Scoreboard & Bone Folder

Hi Everybody,

So todays offering is a really useful piece of equipment that most card makers use on a daily basis.

I don't make a  card without using my Scoreboard as it gives me neat lines to fold my cards and eliminates any cracking on the spine, and there is a bone folder in the pack as well.

It also helps me to create different shapes and in the magazine you will find some hints and tips on how to use it to get these card shapes or your self.

If you would like this then all you have to do is leave me a comment at the end of this post with your FULL NAME and be sure to come back and see if it is your name that is listed  as the winner over the weekend.

I cannot stress enough that if you do not leave your full name then your comment will NOT be added into the draw

More tomorrow ...
