Rainbowlady's Challenge # 116 - Sparkle and Shine

I don't usually use a lot of glitter so I went the whole hog this time. The blossom is white paste through a Dreamweaver stencil onto gloss card and before the paste was dry I sprinkled pink glitter over it. The pink mirri board was edged with a Martha Stewart punch and the card mounted to the left to leave room for the butterfly. The butterfly is an Elusive image stamp and was stamped using Versamark onto vellum. This was embossed with silver pearl embossing powder cut out and added to the blossom. Hope the sparkle and shine comes across!

Thank you for taking a look, your comments are much appreciated.

DragonsdreamTIO # 52 - The Face

This stamp is one of the few faces I have at my house, my daughter loves stamps such as this and mine seem to have ended up in her collection! This lady I found in the bottom of my stamp box not even mounted on EZ mount. Pleased to say she is now and I think she has a lovely face. She is stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and after being die cut into a circle was mounted onto a larger circle of Black Magic spell caster card. This was embossed and sanded to reveal the pink colour. The background paper is hand made using an Anna Griffin repeat stamp. The pink roses were added from my stash.

CD Sunday Challenge - Wedding Anniversary

I have made this card for my friends 41st wedding anniverary. The two backing paper and topper come from Joanna Sheen's CD Victorian Romance. Paper one was mounted onto a dull gold mirri and the ribbon attached. This was mounted flat onto the cream card blank. Paper two was also mounted onto gold mirri and the topper added. The sentiment Memories was added to the topper using the Xyron design runner. This was then added to the card using foam pads. Happy Anniversary was added inside the card.

Thank you for loking, any comments you leave will be much appreciated.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge # 115 - Paint it

My tag was painted using Eco acrylics. The first coat was Rose which had vaseline rubbed on parts and then this was given an overcoat of Pistachio. After heating with the heat gun the vaseline parts were rubbed to reveal the pink beneath. Orchid was then painted over a flower shaped mask. The stamps are Pucinni's Muse and a quote from Creative Expressions Butterfly stamp sheet. The flowers were cut from a Sizzix die and put through the dotty embossing folder. The butterflies were cut using the punch and emboss punch from X cut. A glittery brad and matching ribbon were added.

DragonsDreamTIO # 51 - Die Cuts

The tag is covered with a piece of Graphicus paper from the welcome pack and edged with Distress ink Dusty Concord. The sentiment, from Creative Expressions Travel sheet was stamped in Dusty concord. The dragonfly is a Tim Holtz Alterations big die. The dragon fly was cut in silver paper then again in mauve/blue green/silver holographic paper. It was layered together and added to the tag.

Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog # 21 Christmas in August

For this card I used the Garland Border and Sofa digis from Crafty Ann's. I resized these in MCS Pro ( took a few goes to get it right). The scene was printed onto acetate. The sofa and garland were coloured with Promarkers and the baubles glittered. The tree from my stash was added to a piece of silver pearlised card and the acetate stuck on top. I ran the acetate through the Xyron. The Gorjuss girl was stamped onto white card, coloured with Promarkers and cut out. She was added to the scene along with the stocking from my stash. The whole was then mounted onto a clear acetate card blank and a peel off sentiment added. This is only the second time I have used digi stamps to make a card and I really enjoyed seeing it grow from an idea into the finished card, I was not sure it was going to work.

Thank you for looking any comments you may leave are much appreciated.
