Cards - Thinking of You and Love

Hello Crafty friends and welcome to my blog. It has been awhile since I have been able to post with the beautiful Meg's Garden papers, flowers and many other products. 2017 has been a hard year for my family with my son being extremely ill, my dad having some horrid heart issues and I have been sick as well. It has seen all three of us throughout the year spending some time in hospital. 

Meg and the team have been a huge support to me and so understanding. I must say though it was great getting behind the desk and working with the beautiful French Chic Papers. They are so beautiful with soft colours.

This is the first of two cards I would love to show you and the products I used to create it.

 

 

French Chick Artist Card Pk1

Circle Doily

Pale Pink Rose

Small white flower (20pkt)

Wooden birdcage

Brown ink

 

 

 Now it's time for my second card.

 

 

  French Chick Artist Card Pk1

 Antique Pink Nylon Lace

Flowers

Filigree Strip

Mini Square Doily (I have cut the outside of it off so as to still 

see the beautiful flowers on the patterned papers)

Brown ink

 

 

 These are the beautiful French Chic papers that I used designs two of, there are 

four other designs I can't wait to create with.

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed popping in to look at my DT cards for Meg's Garden. Make sure you hop on over to the Meg's Garden blog to see the other creations from the Design Team members. There are beautiful products to see and wonderful inspiration. 

Your Wings Were Ready

I wanted to share with you today my DT canvas created for A2Z Scraplets.

This is my beautiful Mum and the title is sad but so true. If you are looking for that special title for a loved one then yo can find it along with the others I have used and so many more over at the 

A2Z Store.  For loads of inspiration and to see many different ways to work with you chipboards head on over to the A2Z blog. You can also join in with the monthly challenge over on Facebook. 

The three chipboard I have used are all created using the same method. I first coloured them with a Distress Marker and then with my fingers I have rubbed over them with Viva Inka Gold. Not covering the whole chipboard. With the frame and title I used two colours and the vine I have used two plus some Viva 3D Stamp Paint, again with my finger (as I didn't want to stamp in it). I used this to make it a little different to the others as it had Metallic in it.

 

Some of the other products I used are - 

Dylusions Paints

49 Market Flowers

Moderling Paste

Diamond Stencil

Black Ink Pen

White Paint

Brass Heart

 Script Stamp

Archival Ink - Jet Black

Viva Inka Gold

Distress Markers

It looks like there are a lot of different products but trust me that's only because I have used different coloured Dylusion paints (Which I rubbed on with my finger) and Viva Inka Gold in different Colours which you also rub on with your finger. 

I hope you have enjoyed popping in to see the closeups and also to find out what other products I have used to create my canvas. I hope you all have a great weekend and please keep popping back I some more creations to show you real soon.

Christmas - Journal page

Hi and welcome to my blog and my final posting (maybe lol) for today. I would like to share with you a double journal page created at a class taught by my lovely friend Rhonda Crawford.

I had fun doing this page and when doing it the day was very hot and I must say there was nothing about doing a snow page that made me feel any cooler lol. 

I do sometimes wish I could be in a place with snow for just one Christmas, never know it might happen one year. Maybe one of my boys will move and I will have to go there :)

Some of the products used - 

Dylusions Paints

White Gesso

Versa Marker Pad

Opal Essence Embossing powder

Glitters - Opal, Green, Silver, Gold, Light Blue, Mauve

Black and White Journal Pens

So for me now it's off to the craft room. So many things I want to get done. You never know there might even be something new on my blog tomorrow if I don't get interruptions from the boys lol. If not you now know the reason.... Kids (lucky I love them so much) I'm in hope with this heat they will decide the outdoor spa is a good place to be. 

Happy Crafting.

Seaside Serenity

Hello crafty friends and a huge welcome to my blog and January post for A2Z Scraplet.  Yes I'm now on the A2Z design team and wow I'm so happy and looking forward to the fun ahead.

What a great challenge we have for you too, check it out and join in with us on the A2Z Challenge Facebook page. But now it's time to share with you the challenge and my page. 

What a great summer mood board, I loved it. Besides my page there is loads of inspiration on the Challenge page for you to have a look at and get your mojo flowing if you need a kick start. There is always loads of inspiration on the A2Z Scraplets Blog too.

This great chippie - Seaside Serenity along with so many more can can be found in the A2Z Store.  

For my title I coated it with Modeling Paste using my finger (rough bumpy coat not smooth) and then used my heat gun to heat it up. When you do this it bubbles. Then again with my finger I rubbed lightly some Viva Inca Gold in a bronze/gold and pail green. Once I did that I then placed some blue paint on it. You can do this method even using sprays. 

The other products I have used are -

White Cardstock

Modeling Paste

Kaiser Paint - Tropical Water

Dylusions Paint - London Blue & White Linen

Tinby Designs Color Crush - Deep ocean
