Items Used,

Magnolia Image,

Distress Inks,

Stickles,Flowers, ribbon, and wire from stash,

I’ve added stickles glue to the flowers and her dress,if you look very very closely with a magnifying glass you may be able to see it,lol, coloured her with Distress inks and done the same on the bp at the edges to bring in the colours, curled the wire around my pokey tool to create small circles, and fixed in place with pinflair glue,

Got to go now as I’ve been asked for a baby card and I’d better get on and do it, could do without the headache though lol,

Hope your all having a good day, thanks for looking, hugs Liz xx

Miss Anya Card,

I’ve made this card for my son’s girlfriend, who loves her boots and handbags like the rest of us, she doesn’t really do too fussy so I’ve kept it fairly simple, and it just so happens to fit into the Anya Ink challenge which is for No printed paper, how good was that lol,

Coloured in Copics, BossKut~Krazy Daisy Die,spellbinders frame Die,sentiment and flower stickers, Textured Card,

I’m uploading a second card today, that’s a first for me, I’ve used another of Stitchy’s Digi’s  as some one asked for some sympathy cards and I was quite pleased with this how this turned out, I find these hard as you can’t really go over the top or anything can you?

I used a daisy punch for the flowers and just curled the petals in, not done this before but I think it looks quite effective, leaves are done in pearlised paper using a L-EM punch, if you haven’t checked out Stitchy’s images go to her site on my sidebar and don’t forget the new challenge blog One stitch at a time, starting 14th February, again see my sidebar,

Thanks for looking, Hugs Liz xx

Hi,

Just for fun I’m showing this on my blog, I made this box for my sister’s crafty pressies that I got her for her birthday, she bought me the gorgeous Tilda image for Christmas and I wanted to use it to show I love it,

I got the inspiration for it from my lovely friend Mandy, although it’s not a patch on what she did,

I coloured  the sides with Distress inks, and used that so gorgeous paper again, then I matted her on to a nestie shape which i hand cut around the larger one so it wouldn’t have a wide border then added my embellies,

Items Used,

Copics, Distress inks,

Lge flower and pearl stem~ Hobbycraft,

Sm flowers and ribbon ~ stash,

Leaves punch L-EM

Thanks for looking, Hugs Liz

Distressed Tilda

Hi to all in blog land, It’s been one of those day’s today you know the one were you set out to do something and if it can go wrong it does,lol I’m entering this into three challenges,

Simon Says~ Shabby chic,

Charisma Cards~ Anything New,

Quixotic Paperie~ great Sketch,

I started out with good intentions of it being so easy to do, well that’s what I thought any way, first I masked the flower and Tilda wasn’t on the flower right, then I decided to do the flower in grey ink, big mistake you couldn’t see the lines when I coloured it, not to be deterred I drew over the lines with a black liner, seems to have worked ok, I hope it looks ok !!

Items Used,

Magnolia Images ~ new

Copics, Glamour Dust, Memento Ink, Distress Inks,

BG~Wisteria Pad,

Textured Card,

Swirl stamp freebie~ Craft Mag,

I’ve put Glamour dust on the edge of the petals and also tiny bits floating down, hard to see I know, my practising hasn’t made any difference lol, oh well off now to make tea, thanks for looking,

                                 Hugs Liz xx

Just Magnolia,

I’ve made this card using the pleating technique that just Magnolia would like us to use, you wouldn’t believe the fun I’ve had doing this as I do this sometimes at work though with fabric not card, lol

I think this stamp was supposed to be for Christmas but I thought it would do for any one who loves baking, cooking etc,and so it fit’s in with the challenge on Magnolia down under too, Items used;

Magnolia Tilda, from Mandy

Copics,

Papers~Papermania,Blueberry Hill,

Doilies, Tesco

Dovecraft~ Bow Punch,

Ribbon and Pearls~ stash,

 

I don’t think we are supposed to be getting the snow now that they said we should be getting today, but the sky sure is dark, makes you think of nice home baked things,but I’d rather craft lol,

Thanks for looking, Hugs Liz xx

Simon’s card

At last I can upload this card, I made it earlier but there was a chance my son could see it so it had to wait till today, yes he is 28 years old today, god that makes me feel old , it was snowing  when I had him too and my hubby never let’s me forget how he had to dig his way into the garage so he could come to me,

I’ve loosely followed the Kaboodle Doodle challenge sketch, but had to turn it and tweak it a bit, hope that’s ok girls, as you can guess he’s fishing mad and I’ve done so many fishing cards in the past it’s getting harder to know what to do lol,

Items Used:

Copics,

Raffia~the Range,

Paper~freebie off the free CD~ Docrafts latest magazine,

Epoxy Tag~ freebie from somewhere years ago!!

Woodware inverted corner punch,

We are still full of icy snow on the paths and side roads here and more snow is forecast so who knows, but at least I’m not in labour lol,

Thanks for looking, Hugs Liz xx

Thank you snow,

Hi, it’s me again, because of the snow and having a cold as well, I’m able to craft a little bit more yipee, I’ve decided to have a change today from copics and Distress inks, your probably fed up of seeing them any way lol, so for today’s card I’ve chosen to play in three challenges,

Delightful sketch~ great Sketch,

Paperplay Challenges~ Precious metals,

ABC Challenge~ L is for Layers,

This sketch is lovely, I’ve turned it around as my image was too large and fancy edged the main image instead of doing a border,I’ve layered it on to some dots card and added some gorgeous paper as a border then layered a piece of ribbon with the sentiment on top of that,which of course you can see for yourself so why I explained all that I don’t know lol,…

…the flowers are done in gold leaf “how posh” and a nightmare to use I can tell you as it just wants to float about everywhere , I then added bits of spica glitter pen as well,I’m off now to tidy up the mess lol, thanks for looking,

                                   Hugs Liz xx

Multi Challenge Card

Hi all, I’m sat here being able to do this because of the snow, it’s done loads of the stuff and lot’s of people can’t get to work me being one of them, still it’s a lovely excuse to craft lol,I’m entering my card for the following Challenges:

Sketch And Stash~ Great Sketch,

A Spoonful of Sugar~Hearts,

My Time to Craft~Blue and Brown,

Creative Card Crew~ Distressing,

The Corrosive Challenge ~2 Favourite Embellishments,

I’ve followed the great sketch by Sketch and Stash, using my old paper flowers, brads,and hearts,and new Martha Stewart Punch,the pearl hearts were a freebie in a craft magazine years ago, and the brown glittery one is a button with the shank cut off,

Two of my favourite embellishments are brads and flowers, so this fits both,and I’ve distressed around the edges of the paper with Vintage Photo distress ink,

Does anyone know where to get some smooth, good quality  watercolour card from? I can’t get the Inks to flow  as good as I’d like so if anybody has any good ones to tell me about and where I can get it please let me know,as I’m really not happy with how this has coloured,

I think it’s just stopped snowing for the first time today, so hopefully the people at work will have chance to get home, thanks for looking and I hope where you are your all ok, and having fun xx

                            Hugs Liz xx
