Becki

Good morning crafty friends, hope you are well today. 

I have been practising my colouring too and had a go at another of our Saturated Canary images.

This one is called Becki. 

I coloured her with Promarkers and then cut her out with a fancy oval die. 

I layered this on to a larger oval cut from red Coredinations card and then used some paper from a Raspberry Road pad for the background.

I added some red silky crush ribbon down the left side and then put a large vintage style button in the centre.

I finished her off with some ready made red roses in different sizes, and some little crocheted flowers.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Colouring practice

Hi folks and welcome to Tuesday.

After my colouring disaster at the weekend I spent a lot of time finding hair that I could practice on.  I have loads of digi images I've bought and I decided to resize a couple just to do the hair.  This first one is Boobie love by Krista Smith. 

I was happy with how this turned out, although the cheeks look a little overworked.  Even so I made a card with it using the Curiosity Corner papers.

The rosettes and feathers are ready made but I fashioned the 'flower' myself.  Well it's almost a flower lol!!

I don't think it ended up too bad.  What do you think?

Take care.  TTFN Jude xx

Last of the name frames

Good morning all, hope you are all well. I haven't managed to sneak in much crafty time this weekend so I'm afraid I don't have anything new to share.

So today's post will have to be the last of the name frames that I made. Well for now anyway, as I've had a few requests for some more :o))

This one I made for my niece and partner and their little girl Keira.

The frame is from Ikea and the tiles are some original scrabble tiles that I bought last year. Now that they are very popular they are a lot harder to get hold of ! So I'm working on my own (watch this space.)

A couple of little embellishments and it was all finished.

Hope you like it. Take care and I'll see you soon.

Ooops!

This did not turn out how I wanted which means no card to share!!

The face is too dark and the hair has no definition gggrrrrrr :(

Oh well I'll just have to keep practicing lol.

Love my boy

Good morning all, hope you are having a good weekend. 

Today's card is made using one of my Saturated Canary digis. This one is called Love my boy. 

I coloured the image with Promarkers and then cut it out with a circle die. I matted it on to dark brown Coredinations card cut out with a Lacey Circles die. 

I used the piece of card that I had cut the shape from and mounted the image over it. Just turning it slightly so that I got the pattern around the edge. 

I used a piece of petrol blue coloured card down one side and then added some tape measure style ribbon over the top. 

I stamped the sentiment with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I matted it with another piece of the blue card to finish it off. 

Hope you like it. Take care and I'll see you soon.

Stars

It's Friday and another Bank Holiday weekend - yippee!!  

As I was working in London yesterday I needed something quick and simple.  (I've also  had to schedule this ahead of time)

This card is suitable for either a male or female birthday.

All the papers are from my scrap box - left over from other recent cards.  The ribbon was also recycled - can't you tell? Lol

The banner is red pigment ink embossed with tinsel red.  

Like I said very simple!  Hope you like it.

Tilda

Good morning all, hope you are having a good week. Today's post is another birthday card that I made for Cat on Tuesday.

This time I have used a Magnolia Tilda stamp. I coloured her with Promarkers and then cut her out by hand. 

I mounted the image on to some Coredinations teal coloured card and then used some papers from a couple of different collections to make the layers.

I used a couple of different shades of teal card for the mats and to make the large flower.

This is a Sizzix Tattered Floral held together with a lovely little gem stone brad.

I added a piece of ribbon to the right side and included a ribbon slider that I've had for about 100 years and just forget to use. lol.

I inked all of the edges with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and then finished the card with a ready made sentiment mounted on to a scalloped circle.

As I had a few pieces of the patterned paper left I decided to add a bit of colour to the inside too lol.

Anyway that's all today, hope you like it. See you soon. Take care.
