Bella Sitting on a Pile of Presents

I'm back to my favourite colour combo of pink and blue, and some of my favourite papers too from Magnolia.  They're really pretty in the soft pinks, which have inspired me to try to keep the colouring soft with my DI water-colouring too.

I used contrasting baby blue accents in the pretty vintage blue ribbon, and some liquid pearls on the die cut.

Card Recipe:

• Image - Bella sitting on a pile of presents Wild Rose Studio
• Colouring - Distress Ink Reinkers
• Cardworks Card base
• Magnolia Papers
• Vintage Ribbon
• Pearls
• Glossy Accents
• Liquid Pearls

Flowers for You

Hi all,

I hope you are keeping warm and snug this week! I can’t believe how chilly it is getting…a little birdie tells me that snow is forecast in the UK for early October...I shall have to dig out my thermals!!

I have a card to show you today that I made using a gorgeous Wild Rose Studio stamp called ‘Flowers for You’…isn’t this image just so cute?!

 

The delicious papers are My Mind’s Eye ‘Lavender’…I've gone for a range of different pinks and beiges for this project to give a vintage feel…and I've added a bit of a modern twist!

This time I remembered to top up my pens with Various Ink Refills before starting to colour the image. Whilst I know that it is much easier to colour with nice, juicy pens, I'm usually so eager to get down to the colouring that I don't always remember to fill them at the start of a colouring session! Here’s a close up coloured with my copics:

 

The sentiment is computer generated and has been matted onto two heart die-cuts using the Nellie Snellen ‘Multi Frame Die Heart -2’ set which is currently in our sale. This is a lovely, useful set of dies!

 

I’ve also used the gorgeous Memory Box ‘Fairytale Flower Border’ die, tucked under the image which is also in the sale!

I've decorated the inside of this card and added some tags for special messages:

 

 

Recipe:

Stamps: Wild Rose Studio ‘Flowers for You’

Papers: My Mind’s Eye ‘Lavender’

Card: Craftwork Cards Straight Edge Card Pack; Bazzill ‘Kraft’

Tools: Memory Box ‘Fairytale Flower Border’ (in the sale)

Ink: Tsukeniko Memento Tuxedo Black

Embellishments:  3mm, 4mm and 5mm ivory pearls; Ranger stickles– star dust; May Arts Burlap Twine – Natural; Vintage ‘Eggshell’ ribbon

Thanks for looking…hope you have a great day!

Hugs,
Janet xx

 

 

 

Michel

I've not used many Sarah Kay images, but that's what I've got to share with you today, and this little fella is rather sweet.  He's called Michel and I've made a centre step card to showcase him.  I think the card shape really makes him the focal point.

The papers are really pretty, although they're mostly covered up which is a shame, but I matched the colours on the image so it brings the card together.

Card Recipe:

• Image - Michel
• Cardworks Card base
• MME Dolled Up Papers 
• Neenah Classic Crest White Stamping Card
• Momento Stamp Pad Ink
• Memory Box Fairytale Flower Border
• Liquid Pearls
• 5mm Snow White pearls
• Vintage ribbon in Eggshell and Limoges
