Workshop Aug 8th 15

Here's my post for today, yes sorry it is yet another that l made at my workshop, by the way it is at "Sunrise Crafts", really enjoy the day out each time....
The main card is made from both hints of silver and hints of gold Centura card, the different shades go so lovely with each other. The die used for this is the Spellbinders Labels 47, and so easy to use so differently. The centre piece is curved and just glued on the side edges, this giving a bowed effect.
The flowers were made also from using a die and inked with distressed ink and shaped into the finished effect and also leaves to compliment. Finished off by adding the pearls to the centres of the flowers, and the ribbon down the left side, which was tied into a knot rather than a bow.
I do hope you have enjoyed looking at my posts, look forward to reading your comments...thank You

Workshop card 8.8.15

Hi, Here goes my post for today....

This was one of the projects at my recent visit to my workshop....

The background was made by placing colour blocks on the base card, and when dry ran through an embossing folder, then used small amount of gilding waxes to highlight the design. This was then layered onto some black card and then onto the base 8 x 8 square card. The black topper was cut using a die and placed central. For the topper starting with a piece of thick card 4inches by 4inches.

Then texture paste was spread onto it and also some patches of blue paste, this was then heated with my heat tool until it started to bubble, whilst still heating it l used my other hand to prepare my stamp....inking it ready to place straight into the hot paste....left it in place until it had cooled down and then lifted it off. I was very pleased with the finished result, quite different from the norm..

Thank you for stopping by, please leave me your comments...

Zentangle Roses

This my card l have chosen today,

l made this a while ago and is an A5 landscape white card for the main card, l then used black for the matting and layering. The roses are stencils and l outlined and then zentangled, using the colour for the centre one. I embossed the main background layer using my ever favourite dotty folder. Finished off this card with the coloured card candy.

Baptism Card

Here's the post l have chosen for today....

This was a special order, for a Baptism card, l started with a white A5 portrait card, l then cut out using my die, the base matt out of Centura white pearl card. The main image is a stamp of Lily of the Valley, and l just coloured the window, and the babies face and hands. This was then cut out using one of my oval dies. For the background for this to placed on l chose yet another of my dies and attached on the back double sided sticky sheet, then used pale pink glitter into the cut area, this was then placed in the centre. Using dies again l cut out the words twice, once in the Centura white and secondly in silver, placed so as to give a shadow effect.

I do hope you have enjoyed my post today , look forward to reading your comments.

Making Cards sample



For todays post l have chosen this card,
I made this card as a sample for Making Cards magazine, as l was requested to do so for a publication for the October edition. I was very proud and surprised to be asked to do this.
Most of the card is white, l have recently really enjoyed white on white. The centre piece was cut using Creative Expressions die, Ornate pierced rectangles, and these were placed onto double sided sticky sheet and then fine glitter was added. I then placed the length of lace down the left side and topped with stringed pearls. The flowers were cut using Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur stamp and die. I lightly inked them with Spun Sugar distressed ink. Also added were Ivy from DieSire, and Creative Expressions Dandelion clocks.
