Little Blue Button Stamps - Sally 'Hello'

Another card from me today (aren't I on a roll...?)


Today's card is made using Little Blue Button's Sally With Heart.. she is a lovely freebie from LBB , so why not go and take a look at their shop and see what other images fall into your basket!


I coloured her using my promarkers :-
Black, cool grey 5 and 4 
burgundy, crimson and cardinal
petrol blue, marine and turquoise
and almond, blush, oatmeal and soft peach for her skin.
apart from the purple tartan used for matting, the papers are all from Bo Bunny, a 6x6 pack called 'ambrosia' 
also added are 2 lengths of red lace, a gorjuss heart ribbon, some die cut red buttons and a heart cut on my Scan 'N' Cut , and 7 little black diamantes
I stamped on the white cardstock in SU's not quite navy using a debbie moore stamp, and the sentiment is another lovely one from Hero Arts
as a final touch I inked around the edge of the white piece, using a little ball of cotton wool.


I hope you like the card :)

Just For Fun Challenge Blog - Easter! DT inspiration piece

Hello, and hope you are all having a good week so far. I am still in the wilds of the Orkney Islands Right now , but I shall be making my way home today *sniff*
Today's card for the Just for Fun challenge blog is one I mostly made on my scan n cut using a basket from one SVG file set and some multi layered eggs from another!
It is the first card I have made for some time without an image, so I'm not entirely sure I like it, but it got my 2 year olds vote of approval... I placed some feathers behind the eggs in the basket, and made 2 cross piece strips with faux stitching that I handwrote the sentiment on, and added a button.


I Just want to tell you that we have been having some problems with the linky tool, so sorry for the challenge being so late up.. I re published my post  at the top of the list. I hope all of you that can will come and join in with us!

I got bored... so I made another card! this one is a Mo Manning image!

This one is a Mo Manning image, provided in cropped form in her facebook group for us to use !

I think it is so very very cute!



With this one, I went clean and simple, as I think the image spoke for itself nicely without a lot of extra frou frou (i'm sure it would look good like that too, and will try it some point soon!)
I used :-burgundy, cardinal and crimson. petrol blue turquoise and soft green, pastel, sunkissed and dusky pink  promarkers
6 half pearls, a 6x6 card blank, coredinations card in navy, a papermania sheet from bexley black capsule selection , a hero arts sentiment stamp and a SU not quite navy ink pad for both stamping the sentiment and inking the edges of the image and sentiment 



Love,
Rachel

Testing Mojo, one two three!

Hello all! I'm back off my holidays now (have been for a few days) but today is the first time I've made a project start to finish since before I left ... today's card is made with The East Wind 'Lucy Loo, Fire dance'
I bought the image last night, and was nearly finished colouring up when one of my pens decided to go BLORT and wrecked it. so this is take two, with a couple of changes from the original , including changing the skin tones used.

 I used the following colours :-
apricot, spice and pastel yellow for the hair, burnt orange, pumpkin, amber, honeycomb and pastel yellow for the flames, burgundy, cardinal and crimson for the dress, and burnt orange, coral, baby pink and blush for the skin.

Additional ingredients were ;- satin flowers, card candi, 2 different colours of coredinations cardstock, papers from papermania sew lovely and (eeep the name of the other collection eludes me!)
1 diecut flourish behind the flowers and also used a sizzix houndstooth embossing folder and some sand paper. the sentiment was created in word. ooh i almost forgot... I used distress ink on all the edges to create a burnt effect..but subtly ;)


Hope you like it, I'm quite happy with it and the image reminds me of the old days. I was a bit of a wild child and I did have my own set of fire clubs, so as soon as I saw the image, I just had to buy it! fond memories :)

Left Of Center Ribbon/Flowers Challenge DT inspiration

Hello, and hope you are all well!

Today's inspirational make for you is this Card, using Sassy Studios Light Vs Dark image






I divided the card in half so you coukld really see the light vs dark battle. so on the left you have an angel on a lovely fluffy white cloud, and sunbeams, whereas on the right you have a gorgeous devil sat on her storm cloud , with lightening bolts emanating from it.

The clouds were cut on my scan n cut, and the black handmade paper I tore along a ruler so it was quite straight but still had some jagged edges. the left hand side is pearlescent sparkly cardstock.


The images as always were coloured using my promarkers as were the clouds, sun rays and lightening bolt (which were hand cut)

The flowers were from Samaflora and I used my electric printing tape gun thing to make the sentiment...


I hope you like it, and hope you have fun playing along with the ribbon and flowers theme this challenge!

PunkYouGirl Challenge Blog 'Lavish Lace' DT inspiration piece

Hello and for you today I have a journal cover using Stitchy Bear Stamps Goth Prom Queen

this is a first for me, as I have never attempted a journal cover before, this started as an A5 card and I thought it could be so much more... so I managed to procure some hard board and made a set of journal covers instead - unfortunately, the rings did not arrive by the time I went away , so shock horror, it is an incomplete project :(
please imagine it with lots of gorgeous black, purple and red lace hanging off the binding rings , to coordinate with the colours used on the cover.
I have however added a strip of lace behind the image, and handmade a shabby lace flower embellishment by layering three scrunched circles of lace, sewing them together, and adding a red half pearl in the centre to hide the stitching.



The image has been coloured using promarkers and the eyes have a layer of glossy accents on them ,as do the jewels in her tiara. I flicked red ink around the image to mimic blood splatter too.
The papers used are a damask style sheet from my papermania bexley black collection, a purple spotted Gorjuss paper from the mega die cut pack, and a strip of foiled lipstick print cardstock that I was given as a gift by a friend a while ago. the floral swirl was also a present in with my Samaflora flower order ,that I coloured using a black promarker, and then added stickles accents to.

the die cut corners on the image are cut using a small green sizzix die out of the same black card I have used for matting, and the sparkly black card behind was plain back cardstock that I embossed with a black glitter embossing powder .
I finished it with 4 copper tone metal corners  and attached the whole lot onto the prepared journal cover (the inside is covered with oyster blush 12x12 papers ) and I didnt show you the back cover as on the outside It is plain black. 

once the rings have come, and I am over my trip back from the orkney Islands I will blog an updated picture!

I hope you all have fun with this month's challenge, and I can't wait to see your creations!


Rachel
