CDEE DESIGNS - DT

Hello...

This morning I am sharing with you the make that I have created using the very talented Chrissie's images from CDEE DESIGNS

you can find them here at her ETSY shop

The challenge this week is to create a bookmark and you can find the details of the challenge 

here

please make sure that you read  the challenge rules properly!

cannot wait to see what you create with the fabulous images that are on offer

I have used the image 'rebecca' for this bookmark and I have coloured her with my pro-markers. I have used craft and tempting turquoise card and a piece of bright DSP to decorate - using grosgrain ribbon

I have attached the image using dimensionals!

I like this very bright and colourful

I have coloured 'hippie luna' also with pro-markers and again used tempting turquoise card along with so saffron and then a piece of co-ordinating DSP

I have added a flower to decorate

A bit impractical for a bookmark - but looks very pretty

The winner of this weeks challenge will win 3 digi images of their choice from Chrissie's shop

I hope you like what I have made and that you will join in the challenge!

my first twinchie...

Hello...

So I have been promising for weeks to have a go at TWINCHIES and never actually got around to it... The challenge this ,time is to create something spooky and this is what I came up with...

I have used a stitchy bear image and added some colour with pro-markers only two!

and then added a few gems to the bottom left and top right corners and added some glossy accents to the lips to make them shiny!
very simple but I think I have captured the spooky theme!

What do you think??

show us your twinchies - spooky

Happy Crafting

Stampin Up! TRAINING...

Hello

Today I am sharing with you the card fronts that I created for SU training with my team at the weekend... This is training that Julie puts on quarterly to share her wisdom with us! Also a great chance to catch up and have a gossip as well and see the great inspiration tables that a few people made also to inspire us... We made some great projects on the day, but as always I did not finish these - too busy nattering!

For my swap...

I used the new stampset watercolour winter - a new firm favourite for me and I embossed the poinsettia twice using the also new cherry cobbler embossing powder. I then cut these out - all 68 of them! 

and colour washed them with my aqua brush and my ink pad - concentrating the colour to the middle of the flower.

I stamped the fir of the tree in each corner of an ivory blank and inked the edges of this, I stamped merry christmas in the bottom right hand side and added an old olive brad in the top left corner...

I also added a bow to the top right hand side of this - although took my picture before I added them!

Here is a close up of the flower - added dimensionals to make it pop

here is a close up of the sentiment 

I hope you like my swap... if you would like more information on signing up as an SU demo please email me - there is a great offer at the moment to join a great team!

Happy Crafting

CRAFTY PAD... OOPPPSSS LATE!

Hello and good morning

Apologies that my post if late this morning - completely disorganised again!
Must try harder!

I have used the Animals in a Dresser image for today's great challenge 
AMIMALS

at the crafty pad

We have 2 sponsors this week..

Creative Craft World

£5 voucher to spend in their fabby online shop

and

Letraset

1 pack of Muted Tone Promarkers

I have coloured the image with promarkers and then mounted the image on crumb cake card and marine blue, I have added a piece of retired DSP which I think looked great with the colours that I have chosen for the image. The top of the card i have used a marine blue border and added some thick white twill tape to this. I added a sentiment to the bottom right... Something a little different for me I used acraft coloured card blank and I think that this lends itself to the colours in the image...

what do you think??

Sorry once again for the late post!

Enjoy the rest of your day!

a close up of the colouring - using more colour to the edge of the sections of the image

I have distressed the edges of each layer used in the tag and also inked the edges - I have decorated a white tag with distress ink and a tissue and also inked the edges of this... I added two pieces of ribbon and two pieces of twine to the top of the tag and have tied a teapot charm to this

(given to me by the lovely Deb O'D as was the paper!)

I added a flourish to the base of the tag and have added the layers to the tag at jaunty angles!

Teeny tiny card!

Here is a quick post of a card I made a couple of weeks ago! A very simple design and I have used the colours cherry cobbler and black.
I have used a tiny indigo blu stamp and stamped this in black to the middle of the card, I then added a wooden embellishment...
Very simple but very striking because of the colours used! They look so well together...

Thank you for looking
Happy crafting

Crafty Pad... VINTAGE

Hello

I hope you have all had a great week...

Apologies for the lack of posts - however my room is still not finished - hopefully this week will see an end to that though... fingers crossed!

So for the Crafty Pad Challenge this week it was my turn to pick and I just had to pick the theme 
VINTAGE

I decided to use my favourite images - the dress form trio
and couple this with the papers - vintage distressed

First of all printing the paper and then running them back through the printer to get the image on them. I cut two pieces of the DSP and added this at jaunty angles on a square card - once I had distressed the edges - I then cut the dress forms out and added them to the right hand side of the card (they don't seem to look right on the right hand side)

The sponsor details...

Crafty Sentiment Designs

winner to get 3 digi images

I also added elements from the sewing machine set around the edge of the card...
I blew the sentiment up large and distressed this using ink and added this with dimensionals...
I finished the card off using some wooden buttons - and I think this look grreat - I have used muted colours for a vintage feel and also distressed the edges of the DSP.

The button elements are from crafty-emblies
they can be coloured with ink or just left as they come
buttons
adding great dimension

I love the feel of this card and feel after a very stressful week to sit and make something so pretty really lifted me! Hey when all said and done is that not the main reason for crafting??

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

gem of a challenge - one for the girls
catch the bug - anything goes
craftymess - anything goes
inspire me fridays - anything goes



I hope you like my card and thank you for looking...
Welcome to all my new followers as well!

steampunk junkies... DT

Hello!

STEAMPUNK JUNKIES

As seems to to the norm for the the minute I am always chasing my tail and this post should have been uploaded last week... so apologies...

For my card this week I have used a crafty individual stamp and stamped this in black... I have then inked the edges in gold and black... I have then layered this on DSP and distressed the edges and added to a dark brown card blank. To decorate I have added some mulberry flowers and also some crafty emblies - to the top of the card I have added a metal charm

The challenge this week is time travel - I do hope that you will join us!
