Easter Fun................

Hiya peeps

Just a short post today as Ive got so much to do.

Heather Valentin's fabulous website of

Color Of Love

has provided a gorgeous Easter image called

Easter Eggs Painting Fun

Check out the fun Facebook groups

I made the whole card within a few hours,

inc the colouring by pencil crayon. 

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to

ask away in the comments and I will do my best to

answer as quick as possible.

Anything But A Card......

Hiya peeps,

Todays make is all about

"Anything But A Card"

so, I made a pen pot/tub, call it what you will.

My pen pot was made using an empty instant potato tub,

the one thats mainly red, but you can use empty,

clean tin(s)/tub(s) of any size. I have used empty

milkshake tubs and mushy peas tins before now just

to name two. As I said, make sure its clean,

free of any sharp edges and most of all, dry.

Add your favourite paper(s) using ultra strong double

sided tape so it stays stuck down straight away.

Then, just add your favourite embellishments and

coloured image or just more sparkle & shine, but,

you dont have to have a centerpiece like I have.

Decorate your blank canvas as you see fit!!

The image I have used is a digital image from

Cute As A Button 

and this image is called

Elly-Mae and Clarabelle 

of which I coloured with my favourite colouring pencils. I use pencil crayons as they give me more control over what
I am colouring rather than all the alcohol markers I own.

All other items used in this make are from my own stash

I am entering this make in to the following challenges:

Creatalicious #160

World Wide Open Design Team #3

Colour Crazy Craft #wk 13

Its almost Easter..... using a Color Of Love!!

Hiya peeps

I am so so sorry for the delays in posting between DT makes.

No excuse apart from "not up to crafting or writing".

For my newest Design Team (DT) I would like to introduce you

to Miss Sassy Easter Eggs by no other than my favourite artist,

Heather Valentin!! She is the owner of the previously known company

called Lacy Sunshine, but now, its called, Color Of Love. I must say,

that I think the name is very fitting for her.

Miss Sassy was coloured using my new set of colouring pencils by

Castle Art Supplies and brought from Amazon. I use the 72 set.

All cardstock is from Papermill Direct in the Lake District (UK),

I used Stormy Sky Distress Ink over the embossing, the bee &
hive dies are from Dovecraft (matching papers are available).
Everything else is from my own stash (inc embossing folders).

I hope you like this Easter card, it is for sale if you are interested.

Not Just Cards Challenge, Feb 2019

Hiya peeps

Im sorry. I am late again with my project

I am just so tired all the time and I dont know why as it could be. 

This months Not Just Cards Challenge Blog is,

as always, "Anything Goes".

My card this month is a commission order for a

ladies Birthday card for her Daughter, using just a purple

outlined dancer and just a bit of purple on the card.

I made an oval easel card using decorative Spellbinders dies,

2 different sets, layering them up and then one cut out in a

bright purple (even though it doesnt look like it as I had to take

the photos in the evening in artificial light). Adding a topper with

the sentiment on using various word dies and the 2 different types

of ribbon. I raised this topper of the base card so the easel top

card would stay in position when open using foam tape. The

finishing touch was the small purple gems around the decorative edge.

I hope you like the outcome as much as my client did!!

All card stock from Papermill Direct

All finishing touches from my own stock

Dies from Spellbinders & Memory Box
