Marilynn

Good morning folks.  Monday morning and a new challenge at Get Creative starts today.

Our theme for this challenge is - Use Printed Paper, A Fibre, and a Sticker.

Our sponsor is: -

Limited Runs Stamps


My Shopping List

Marilynn digi stamp from Limited Runs Stamps
Chameleon Pens
Amy Tan Digi Kit from Serif Craft Artist
Sue Wilson flower and leaf dies
Pink ribbon
Sticker sentiments

I had a lot of trouble picking my digi stamp for this challenge as there are soooooooo many gorgeous ones. 
Marilynn was a delight to work with. 

The thing I like about digi stamps is they are so flexible.  Because part of our theme was printed papers I took Marilynn into serif craft artist and using the cutout studio I removed the white space in her dress,  I then chose a backing paper from Amy Tan digi kit and placed if over my image, sent it to the back and cropped it down and hey presto I had a patterned dress.  

After printing out my image onto copic X-press it smooth card I scanned it into my brother SnC on the direct to cut facility and cut her out.  On this occasion I did not place a seam allowance around the edge. I then coloured the rest of her in using my chameleon pens. I also cut my frame out using the SnC too. 

The layout of the card, I need to admit, is not my sole idea.  I was watching one of the demonstrators on create and craft and got the idea from one of the shows.  

I am so pleased with how this one came out and I do hope you like it too.

Going Fast


Good evening folks.  Here is the West Midlands I have to admit it has been a lovely day.  A little rain but hasn't hung around and the sun is shining as I type this.  I do hope we will see a super summer this year.

Now, I don't generally like doing male cards, as my followers will know I have a weakness for flowers on cards and they just don't look right on a male card however, this little chap caught my eye but, and here comes a big apology, I can't remember where I bought the digi stamp from.

I coloured him in a while ago and he was one of my first projects using my chameleon pens so the blend isn't brilliant but I thought I would post him because he is such a cute little chap.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out by blog and for any comments you choose to leave.  You take care and see you soon.

I have entered this card into the following challenge: -
PartyTime Tuesdays - Anything Goes
Through the craftroom door - Anything Goes
Craft your passion - Always anything goes
