Ppinky Dolls

I have used the love Lonely Sis digi image.

I coloured her in using my copic marker pens.

My background is 2nd generation pixie powders onto foundation card.  I have die cut the frame using Sue Wilson double pierced square frames and Phill Martins corner daisy stamps embossed in cosmic shimmer silver detail embossing powder.

The flowers are Sue Wilsons open daisy flowers die cut using the remaining background card in addition to cutting some leaves also from a Sue Wilson Finishing Touches die.

Finally I die cut my image using Sue Wilson double pierced circle dies and cut a mat using the same dies.

Black and White

Hi folks. Hope you are having a good Wednesday?

We have a brand new challenge beginning at Crafty Girlz today.

This challenge will be just for fun with a theme of

'Black and White'.

My card today was made using Sue Wilson Creative Expressions dies.  This is my first card using the weaving classic die and I loved it.  I can see how it can become addictive.

The other dies I have used was the

 ornate pierced rectangles

olive branch dies

stitched flags dies

The flower I stamped using black ink and clear embossing powder.  My sentiment is from Phil Martin daisy collection.

Good morning all.  Hope you all had a good weekend?

I had lovely weekend.  Mom took my hubby and I out for lunch on Friday which was very nice.  We went to the Granary Restaurant in Kidderminster, Worcestershire.  Lovely carvery.

On Saturday we had to take Enya to the vets, poor baby has developed cystitis again.  Luckily I recognized the symptoms really early and we got her to the vets within 2 hours.  Two injections and a bag of antibiotics later she was definitely on the mend - by that I mean not out in the garden squatting constantly for about 20 mins, let her in and she is back out again.  Not producing anything but getting very distressed.  She has settled down now so far as that is concerned.  Hopefully it will clear up quickly.  Trouble is I felt so helpless to see her in so much distress.

Well, we have a brand new challenge starting today at Crafting from the Heart.

Dr Digi House of Stamps

For my post today I have used a digi stamp called Barry Big Wheels.   As soon as my hubby and I saw it I knew exactly who I wanted it for, but mums the word as his birthday is later in the month.

I have coloured my image in with a mixture of copics and graphit marker pens.  I have also fussy cut it using my scan n cut on the direct to scan facility and also a black mat.

I then stencilled through a 'rope' mask using a tim holtz distress ink - hickory smoke.  Then,using a small square die from tonic studios I gutted the middle out to make a frame.  The middle I embossed using a 'bark' embossing folder and then highlighted the embossing with graphite gilding polish.

Some matting and layering onto an 8x8 square card which I then stamped my sentiment using some corners stamps from Phil Martin's scribbled collection.

I am sorry about the quality of the photograph, I just don't seem to be able to get a good one.

Good morning folks.

We start a new challenge at Crafty Girls Creations this morning.

Our theme is the usual 'Anything Goes'

Our sponsor for this challenge 33 is: -

Moonflower Digi Stamps 

I have chosen a digi stamp called 'Gina Caribe'.  Such a lovely lady and a pleasure to colour in.

I have used my alcohol markers to colour her in and then fussy cut her out using my BSC.  I also cut a black mat out too.

The dies I have used are all from Sue Wilson and Creative Expressions.

The background is pixie powders and a technique I saw Julia Watts use when she was demonstrating pixie powders on Hochanda recently.

It is created using a piece of heat resistant acetate.  I covered a large area of the rear of the acetate with my 'dries clear' glue.  I then sprayed it with water to keep it moist and sprinkled my pixie powders over the glue.  I then give that a good spritzing with pain water and once happy with the way the pixie powders had dispersed I added some glitter,  Finally I placed a piece of white tissue paper on top of that and dabbed it down with a kitchen roll.  Don't rub just dab until it is all flat then leave it to dry fully, at least overnight.

I have also used an embossing folder but I do apologise I don't know what it was called as I forgot to write on the name - I know - silly of me.
