Chameleon pens

7x7 plain white base card

purple card

Orion Gemini die and leaf from Sue Wilson

Stamps from Chloe

Pastel pink embossing powder from cosmic shimmer

Pearl drops from Nuvo Tonic

 

•  As usual folks I began by printing out my image onto Copic X-Press It Smooth Blending Card which I purchased from Sir Stampalot.
• I coloured her in using chameleon pens, direct to cut her using Charlie (my BSC) with a 1mm seam allowance.  I also cut a mat in purple using a 3mm seam allowance.  This was done before deleting the image from the machine just change your card over and re cut upping the seam allowance.

• I matted a piece of purple card onto my white 7x7 base card followed by some white pearlescent card which I die cut using the orion Gemini die from Sue Wilson.
• I stamped my flowers out using versamark ink pad and cosmic shimmer pastel pink embossing powder.  The stamp was from the small flower set from Stamps by Chloe. I then fussy cut them out too.
• After die cutting some leaves from Sue Wilsons leaf die I assembled my card and finished it off by putting some pearl drops in the corner using Nuvo Tonic pearl white drops.

I have really enjoyed working with this image and she would be so useful for lots of themes from bridesmaid to wedding to prom queen.

Emily's Heart Umbrella

Hi everyone, today starts a new challenge at Crafty Girlz and my first sample as a member of the design team. The blog is re-opening with monthly challenges starting today the 15th April.

Our sponsors are:

Lacy Sunshine Stamps

A Day for Daisies 

 

 I was lucky enough to work with a digi stamp from Lacy Sunshine Stamps called Emily's Heart Umbrella.

I coloured my image using chameleon pens after printing it out onto Copic X-Press It Smooth Blending Card.  I then scanned her into 'Charlie' my BSC and fussy cut her using the 'direct to scan' with a 1mm seam around her.  I put 'a piece of black card into 'Charlie' upped the seam to 3mm and cut another piece out as a mat.

I also cut a wavy circle and a plain circle as a base for my image whilst I had 'Charlie' in working mode.

My backing papers was from a digi kit in Serif Craft Artist.  My flowers were made with plain white card and a tattered lace daisy die which I inked around the edges using a spun sugar distress ink from tim holtz.  The leaves were also from tattered lace.  The card candi is from craftwork cards.  Finally the corners are from tonic studios.  

I don't normally put sentiments onto my cards, mainly because then it means it can be used for any occasion when I sell it however, on this one I did put a sentiment on using a stamp form my stash.

Good morning fellow crafters and visitors.  Today we start a new challenge at Creative Ladybirds Creations and it is our second challenge.

 My Shopping List

 

Digi stamp from Stitchy Bears called Fancy Free.

5x7 base white card

yellow card

patterned paper from a tattered lace magazine

spellbinders die

chameleon pens

cosmic shimmer black pearl drops

 

I always start by printing out my digi stamp onto Copic Xpressit card and coloured my image in using my chameleon pens.

Once my image is coloured that will govern the colours I use on my card so I matted some yellow card onto my base card followed by die cutting my patterned paper using a spellbinders die.

 

I then cut my image out using my BSC and 'direct to cut' programme.  I placed a 1mm seam allowance around my image   Once my image is cut out I placed some navy blue onto my mat and changed the seam allowance to 3mm and cut that, followed by a piece of white card onto the mat and again upped the seam allowance to 6mm and cut.  This was how I achieved the matting and layering around my image.

 

Groovy Girl was also cut out using my BSC and the alphabet already programmed in.  I assembled my card and finished off by placing some black pearl dots all around.
