Tria Challenge

Tria challenge has started again after abit of a break. This time an unusually image of some unique roses in a cup.

Fun image to colour with the petals and light to consider.

The photo came out abit light. It was light papers as well so that doesn't help. So nice soft colours. Abit of flourish, abit a bling...

Thanks for looking.

OOH many pretty things...

I had abit too much fun at the show on the weekend! I was going soo well and then I cam across the shop called The Paper Craft Hub in Canberra. Well, that wasn't good!! Lots of lovely washi tape and Fancy That dies. So sweet. So I will be playing with them shortly, I have my eldest son heading off to camp tomorrow 7am- abit harsh! Such a big job naming everything under the sun and making sure e has everything! But that is done now so it is time to relax and enjoy the short break of having just two at home. I'll miss the big noise maker but I will enjoy to peace that strangely happens when just one departs for a short time!

I am sure I had posted this before but I seems to not be here. I love this card. Soo simple. 

I inked the embossing folder and ran it thru my cuttlebug. So effective technique, if you haven't tried it give it a go!

Lets catch up on some swaps...

 

Graduated Gitter- Something abit different I hope. Many people glitter an image I decided I would make a checker board, why... cos I'm nuts!! I had glitter EVERYWHERE!! But it was soo much fun. "Just Because"... I could!

Next Paris without an Eiffel Tower- I wonder if you can pick how things ties into that.  "The Green Fairy" Or the drink "Abstinence"

Banners- That's no shock :)

I tried steampunk for the first time. I had to google some inspiration but I think it turned out well...


It's time for bed. Sleep well or have a great day if you are just waking up!!

Thanks for looking. xx

Inch in Time

I have been a busy girl today. Keeping two of my boys from driving me insane and still trying to get my inchies done before Friday evening.

Well they are all done!

This  swap had a theme of time. I had a brain wave and used some cardstock I had made a few months ago, using a technique called Mother of Pearl. From there it morphed into this...

You will have to forgive me about the original colours. I think I sponged it with Early Espresso ink after the paint had dried. Then I used card gel and a stencil and sponged that with the Stazon. After some fun with the shrinky dink and some stamping. All finished. So considering I had this background mostly done it was great to use it. I should make some more so I can put it aside and remember exactly what I did!

So a quick post tonight.

Thanks for looking.

Happy Easter all!!!!

I hope you all had a great Easter. Ours was very productive but not of the crafty fun sort! Althou it has been good to do something abit different.  I've been painting and sanding walls and a cupboard that has been made for about 7 yrs!!! All in good time! LOL. I have a big handicap in the painting walls... well actually the sanding department, I'm not too bad about the painting althou I still cut corners and I realise later that maybe I shouldn't of cut!! ;)

Over the last weekend or two I have been having a play with two of my nieces and theses were a couple of their projects.

Mikayla is 12years old and I am happy to say I have been her downfall into cardmaking!! mwah ha ha!

I did this sort of card in my last post and she likes doing creative ones so we did this one again.

Next is a Mikayla original.

Abit of blingage...

Hannah, who is turning 10 later this yr, (hope I got that right! ;) ) found a similar card within a stack from a class I had done and she decided she would copy this. A few alterations...

My card was for my son's birthday this yr. He turned 9 and loves building and making things.

I used all Stampin Up stuff on this one apart from the brads and some distressed ink. Background was Tool Shed- current catalogue and the "love beyond measure" is retired but I couldn't let it go. For something abit different I used eyelets on the bottom corner but run twine thru vertically rather than wrapped around the cardstock. Abit of "Early Espresso" mounted behind both the images.

I sponged using Stormy Sky, Forest Moss, Crushed Olive and a little bit of Walnut Stain.   I put a tiny bit of Crystal Effects on the clip. ( Had to look up the name on the bottle- how bad! Some people will get up at 5.20am to go to the gym!)

Well on that note I am definitely off to bed! I'm almost at the end of a good book and it is calling...

Thanks for looking and stay safe!

Forgotten but not gone!

Hi all,

This card I forgot to post and forgot all about it.

I made it after a friend made one and it was nice.

Awesome kraft papers. Not much to tell you about it, as it was a while ago that I made it. Seam binding is Early espresso and the die is from My Favourite Things. But I hope you like it anyway.




Thanks for looking.

Hi all,

I have a card I made for my husband today. The hardest part of this card was finding stamps that will fit in the space.

It is called a Never Ending card. It is dead simple to make but it very good for mens cards. Very interesting.

 Then one more fold and you are back to the front of the card. The stamp set is  from Creative Creations. Papers are from Tim Hotz.

Thanks for looking.

Hi,

It's been a while since I have been on. There has been a few reasons but I wont bore you with the details.

Pretty plain I hear you say...


This is the inside...

Friends of ours have moved house and they have a few dogs and cats. This card isn't an original. It has been made quite a few times and was original done by a friend of mine. The little puppy is on a pop up piece.

It's abit hard to see but you can see the orange behind his back. I coloured him with Copics. Stamps are from Ferntree Gully.

Next I have an image I coloured for a monthly meeting.

Once again coloured by Copics.

It is hard to see but the flowers are mounted on a piece of acetate with designer paper on the inside of the card that you see when the card is closed.

Thanks for looking.
