Happy New Year

Hope you’ve all had a lovely Christmas and Santa’s been good to you,I made this card using my favourite Magnolia stamps and my lovely copics which I got earlier this year and just love,the background paper I’ve had for a while and not known what to use it for, you know how it is!!

I’m entering this card for Crafty Cardmakers Challenge which is to use your favourite items, which isn’t hard as I use them quite often, although I must admit i’ve not used my copics for a while and I had to try hard to remember how to use them, I must not leave it so long next time lol,

I’ve left the design quite plain as the bp is quite busy,the image is in front of a nestie shape which I’ve coloured with Distress inks, which are another favourite of mine come to think of it lol, and I did an easel card for a change as I hadn’t done one before,

Items Used;

Magnolia image~from my lovely friend Mandy,thanks hun,

Copics,Distress Inks~ pearly doodles,

xcut flower punch~MS punch~ribbon and pearls from stash,

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year, best wishes for the future, and long hours of crafting fun, xx

Yipee, it’s snowing again, gosh we’ve not had this much of the white stuff for years, lol,

Crafty Card Makers~stamping, not done in a while,

Die Cut Dreams~ food or drink,

Roses On Paper~ Christmas,

Crafty Calendar Challenge~ Weather

 

  I stamped my Christmas images with a  memento ink pad, and coloured my images and scene with Distress Inks , for the sentiment stamp I used a black  Stazon  ink pad which I then added embossing powder over the top and heat embossed, I haven’t done this for ages,I then added glamour dust to the trees, made snowflakes from a cuttlebug die,and used a L-Em branch punch, I distressed the edges of my scene and first backing paper, it’s the first time I’ve done this and it’s very theraputic, (must do loads when I’ve had a hard day at work lol), Tilda is cut out and raised on foam pads,       Tilda has wine and a heart biscuit in her basket so hopefully that qualifies for the Die Cut Dreams Challenge,and snow is certainly  weather,

Items Used;

Just for fun,

I have had a brayer for more years than I like to think and have always said I’d get round to having a go, and yesterday was that day, so for a first attempt I’m quite pleased with it, actually it was a lot of fun and will definitely do something else, Items Used,

With Love stamp~Freebie with magazine

White Inkssentials pen

Stardust Gel Pen

I began by doing the top of the card with a multi ink pad as it was the only one I had it’s left slight marks as they where in individual strips of colour, having said that it makes it a little interesting( well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it) then I did the bottom colour by turning the paper and rolled across,I then stamped on the tree and highlighted with the pen, used a small star stamp and inked with a silver pad randomly over the top half and added a small moon from a set of polar bear stamps I’ve a while,

I coloured my Magnolia image with copics and then cut them out (very hard near their skates) and glued it down, then coloured in the hearts on the sentiment stamp to match her trims,

I’ve got a horrible tooth ache today from a partially erupted wisdom tooth, so I’m on antibiotics Hope they start to work soon,

Still In The Mood

Doing a step card wasn’t the cleverest thing I’ve done seeing as I’m still mending my broken elbow, but it must be getting a bit better because there’s no way I could have held the ruler before, anyway enough of my twittering…

Pink,grey and a hint of black

I'm having one of those day's today when everything is hard work, you know those days, I stamped the tag, cut it out, made a hole then discovered I'd only a bright pink eyelet, then I added some black thread and just as I was sticking it too the card it came undone at the last minute so you'll have to imagine some lovely black thread in there as I tried to put some in and the tag just want's to rip, so it can RIP and I'll leave it alone lol, Items used magnolia stamps copics eyelets Pink paper from craft show ages ago Pink acetate Black papermania adhesive pearl Sorry for the blurry picture, yet another thing going wrong today lol, Hugs Liz x
