Saturated canary



This is the first image I have coloured for a long time. I went out for a day's colouring at Sir Stampalot using Saturated Canary images and this is one of the cards I did. I used Tria pens to colour her in.

 

Thank you ladies, you have brought back my desire to get out my pens and colour again. I hope you don't mind if I enter this card in a couple of challenges as the colouring is all my own work.

Necklace

 
Hi thanks for coming to look at my second piece of jewellery I have decided to add to my blog.
It's a red, black and gold  necklace.
 
 
The circular pendent piece is done first, then the I decided to add the spiral necklace onto to it permenantly which was slightly different to the original pattern.
 
 
It's made up of red,black and gold seed beads, red pearls, black bi-cones and a magnetic clasp to finish. I am putting this onto Beading Friends Forever February Challenge in the anything goes section.

Happy Anniversary



Hi everybody. My card today is for a Golden Wedding Anniversary. It is an order for a friend, Not my usual type of card, I love my stamping and colouring, but it's what the customer wants and they do look quite good. I have kept the background colours in cream and gold for obvious reasons, but then added a little colour to it with the decoupage. The book has been cut using large set of dies from Go Kreate. I have edged them with borders to make the edges look neater. The hearts are also die cut, the big one is a Spellbinder and the lattice ones are Cheery Lynn. The corners are Cheery Lynn too. The Decoupage is a Moorheads one from Crafter's Companion. Some flowers from Hobby House and a ribbon and bow finish the book design.

I have placed this on and easel card, I think this shows the book design off nicely.

Little Witch


Hello Thanks for coming and having a look at my latest creation. I have used an easel card design and the edge of the background has been distressed with Tim Holtz Dried Marigold and Black Soot.


This is an image from Just Inklined and I think she is really cute, and being as Halloween is just around the corner I thought I would use her for this card. I have coloured her with Tria Pens. Then the image has been layered on to a spiders web patterned paper from Basic Grey Eerie paper pad and orange card.
The tree and the letters are a Sizzix die. The orange moon is vellum embossed with a web and some pumpkin buttons in the corner.


The inside is covered in a patterned paper from Diane's Daughters . The bat stamp is from Chocolate Baroque. There are also two silver fancy leaf brads on the easel stop inside the card

Distressed Christmas


Hello again and welcome to this weeks
Unfortunately this will be the last challenge from The Secret Crafter, it will be sad to see it go but things are changing and it is time to bring it to an end.

The theme this week is
 Distressing

Our final sponsor is Heather's Hobbie Haven with a $15 voucher


For my card this week I have done Christmas, I thought it was about time to start. I have used a deckle edge card for the base and this has been covered with a patterned paper leaving a tiny border. I have then put a rectangle of a matching patterned paper layered on red deckle edge card on the top, this was cut with a spellbinder die. A merry Christmas greeting has been stamped on the top left. All these layers have been lightly distressed.


I have stamped the image and coloured it with Promarkers and glitter has been put on the coat and hat edges. This has also been layered on to red card. A piece of green ribbon is across this center of the card. To the left of the image I have put a single silk flower with punched leaves and just a few gems to add a bit of sparkle to it.
