Christmas in July

Hi guys, now as some of you already know I don't really do Christmas till November and even then it's under duress lol, but having said that I've really enjoyed making this for our 

Deep Ocean  challenge of

Christmas in July

our sponsor this time is

Sassy Cheryl's and she has given us a  couple of fab digi's  to work/play with,

 thank you xx

I have printed out this fabby digi image called Christmas package overload, a few times then decoupaged it, after colouring the pieces with my copics,

I can't seem to get out the habit of doing this at the moment, which is driving me mad as it takes forever lol but still it's fun to do he he,

Angled view to hopefully show the layers!

close up view!!

the main card shape is a tag design I made myself and I used papers from  the MME lost and found paper  pad,

the cute ginger bread man in the corner is a fabby new border die I got in my DT package from the lovely Teresa at My Crafty Heart, it's by Memory box and is a long border die but  I just used a little of it on here,

again I've used the gorgeous Noor snowflake edge die and added white shabby embossing powder on the top as I love the effect this gives,

if you like the snowflake edge die I have it at the top of my blog as a mini candy,

hope you'll join us for our Christmas in July challenge, look forward to seeing your creations,

hugs Liz xx

It's Bingo time at Totally Tilda,

Right guys eyes down! at least I think it's what they say, never been to bingo in my life lol,

we have a fab bingo board for you this fortnight for our
Totally Tilda's challenge

Tilda's mid-summer Christmas Bingo challenge

Mine's a full house and I also  added a  shaker  too, lol
my snowflake stamp is in the shaker and is  stamped with a embossing stamp pad then I added white fine detail embossing powder on the top,

look closely and you can just about see them lol
the glitter is in the glitter snowflakes that i bought in a big tub last year, sorry they don't have a name on them, Tilda is coloured with my distress re-inkers and marker pens,
for the embossing I have used shabby white frantage on the gorgeous Noor snowflake edge die that I am soon having as a mini candy on my blog, see the end of this post!
I also added the frantage to a  Noor single snowflake die and a Doo Hickey spruce tree  die too,
Papers are Magnolia and other,

Hi guys, back today with my midweek card for Totally Tilda which of course is Titian Tilda,

(red hair to you and me) lol

for my card this week I've used my copics, now I find copic colouring harder to do than Distress ink colouring so please be kind lol

I knew what I wanted to do with this card but you know when it's one of those days and it takes forever to come together!!! the heat doesn't help either!!!! but no I'm not complaining about it at all, well only a little he he,

I followed the sketch over at CLP, I never seem to do well on sketch challenges but hey you gotta try right!! lol

I fussy cut Tilda out then shaped her and laid her on with Pin Flair glue,

3D Cotton reel

Hi guys, 

over at Deep Ocean our challenge this time is

Blue
I'm also  using this for My Crafty Heart DT too,

I was on the last minute making this as with the sunny weather I have been outside and nearly forgot !!

smack my hand lol,

anyway typical me even though I was late I got it into my head to make something different from a card so I made a cotton reel and also decoupaged my stamped image!!!!! so it took me longer to do then ever lol

Now it's proving very hard to photograph too, as to me the base looks smaller than the top but believe me it's not lol,

The image is by Lili of the Valley and is called Rosie Posy, I stamped her out a few times then cut out various sections after colouring, shaped them and laid them back with pin flair glue,

Hopefully you can make out some of the layers,

This is the front view underneath using some of the  gorgeous flowers and gorgeous butterfly dies from MCH

Back view

I've used lots of sand coloured papers to mimic a beach and thought the corrugated card looked like an old weather beaten fence! has it worked ? lol
The freebie image which was on a craft mag  from acid drops and what nots has been coloured with my distress re-inkers, love her swim suit but think those heels would be a nightmare to walk in the sand, he he

Edited to add, I scheduled this to come on for today when i wrote the post on Sunday,
