SOARTFUL CHALLEGE - I'll dance at your wedding

This weeks challenge at soartful is I'll dance at your wedding

Heres the image we where given for insipiration

I have made my piece using papers and images from My Craft Studio cd - Countryside Garden.

I love the pastel colours on this piece and the edged writing and motifs.

I'd like to say a warm welcome to my new followers this week and hope you will leave me some comments good or bad, but hopefully good ones lol...
The sun is shining here this morning so hopefully where in for a good day Have fun everyone x

Adirondak Spray Inks & embossing folder

Well if this is what I get from watching qvc and ironing I better do it everyday lol.... I just love how this has turned out. This didnt take me very long maybe 30 mins sometimes art just comes to you so quickly just go with it...

I have embossed part of the card front with the diamond cuttlebug embossing folder, then I have smeared over a silver ink and then some turquoise acrylic paint, I then stamped over the top which gives only part wording because of the embossing but I think this adds to the artistic nature.

I added some 3D images with the same background paper and then a key & lock which I smudged acrylic paint onto.

Down by the Sea

I hope you all had a marvelous weekend, the sun is still shining here this morning, we must enjoy it as long as we can cause it aint gonna last believe me lol.......
I had a little play yesterday afternoon with adirondak sprays and some stamps from the past. You can see the speckles on the picture where I oversprayed with water once the inks had dried and I like the effect so much I couldnt stop lol

Added a shell fish(no pun intended)lol with a piece of string and some card candy brads.

I love how it turned out but when I looked at the time I had spent 2 hours messing about with inks and made just this one card lol and by the way if your gonna use them too remember to where rubber gloves cause my hands are now dyed and probably will be for the next few days..... lots of washing up for me now.....

Have a great day everyone x

COLLAGE OBSESSION - CHALLENGE 13 - BEACH

This week at collage obsession the theme is BEACH........ ooooo I could'nt wait to get going..
Here is me lol (I wish) in my swimsuit enjoying the seaspray or maybe its the cornishmist...... Heres my take on the theme

I'm really pleased with this as the background is adapted from one of my photies taken at Mousehole, Cornwall.

BROWN & BLUE DAY

Having a rather brown and blue day yesterday, as you can see from the photies.....

This is one of my favourite stamps eva.... seedhead

The stamp is from rubber stamp gallery

The papers are from stampin up, I get mine from Germaine she also passed me onsome of these gorgeous butterfly die cuts.





The card below is made with stamps from Cath when I won the blog candy



The chipboard swirl is from Maya Road, and I have inked and embossed with distress powder and then inked again.

I have also inked the card candy to match in with the colours

The card below is stampin up again, with an added distressed heart in the same manner as above, The bow is made from a piece of suede, If only we could sit relaxing in a boat dangling are feet in the warm water life would be wonderful, Dont you think?

I'm gonna call these my shabby chic look cards lol...... I do love the colours. Have a great day everyone, if all goes well I am off to visit ye olde craft shoppe.....

No Sewing Required....

How about this then, I know the photies (c***) but the one below is in focus...lol. I have been playing around with bondaweb and some fancy fabrics dont ask me what they are as I have no idea but they are obviously manmade as they melt when you heat them, the beads are glued in place with 3d Glaze. I have just embossed around the corners with a template to give a border effect.

No sewing involved with this card

SOARTFUL CHALLEGE - Embossed on white

I have been working all evening on this weeks soartful challenge,

For the last couple of weeks I have missed the deadlines,
I had just lost TIME to join in, I have no idea where I had lost it, but I was determined this week to get it back,
luckily I seemed to have found it this evening lol, It must have just been hanging around here somewhere in a box.........

we where given this image embossed on white and told to go in whatever direction we needed to go.....

Here is what I came up with in the end, it started with the background and evolved over 2 hours.... what great fun to have on a saturday night, by the way I did have a bottle of rum added to my coke as I was playing(but not a whole bottle)...lol

Glad I found my TIME again, must remember in future which box I put it away in........ Have a great weekend xxx
