In Oz

I've had a productive weekend and here's another card I've done. This time it's a digi image from Sherri Baldy's Besties of Oz collection. I love these images and this is the first card I have had chance to make using them. The image has been coloured using Tria pens. It has then been cut out using spellbinder's dies.

The card base is cut out using a Martha Stewart punch around the page set. Then I have added some dried grass heads because I felt it seemed a little autumnal in colour and they suited the image. A couple of butterfly charms and the little dog charm I thought looked just like Toto. And lastly the sentiment is a Lili of the Valley stamp. For the first colouring I've done in a while I felt quite pleased.

By The Seaside

It looks like I've chased away the sun by making this seaside themed card. It's been heavy rainy downpours for the last couple of days. but hopefully the sun will come back again soon.

I have made this card using Clarity Stamps, one of my favourite brands. They have been coloured using Tim Holtz distress markers. I have added some real tiny shells for good measure. The aperture has been cut using a Go Create large die.

Butterfly Baptism

This is a very popular style of card I make I get lots of order's  for this decorative book on an easel card base. This one was ordered by a friend of mine for her granddaughters Baptism. She love's butterflies so I thought I would decorate this card with them for a baptism card but a bit different from normal types of decoration.

The book shape is a Go Kreate large die,the heart boarder is a Martha Stewart punch and the white card layer has been embossed with a Crafters Companion embosselicious folder.The Butterflies are Cheery Lynn dies cut out of glitter card, then I've just added flowers and words. I gave it to her this morning and she loved it.

Summer Sea

I would like to share this piece of work with you all. This is the first piece of this design that I have done using the Inkylicious stamps and duster brushes. I have used Tim Holtz distress inks. This to me looks like an English beach early on a summers morning. I thought is quite apt for the beautiful weather we are having at the minute, long may it last for me. Oh I do Like to be Beside the Seaside!

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.

 

 

 

 

Something Different

Hi glad you decided to come and have a better look. I have been making jewellery for a little while now but this is the first time I have put it on my blog. This is call the Hugs and Kisses Bracelet.

It has been made with 8mm pink pearls, 6mm purple pearls, 4mm purple rounds,4mm pale pink bi-cones and white and purple size 11 seed beads. I have put a lobster claw clasp on this one. very bright and cheerful.

I am entering this in the new Beading Friends Forever first ever challenge. This one obviously goes in the set challenge which is this pattern.
