Lovely Roses....

Hello again.

Today is the start of our new Challenge Month over at Bizzy Becs and am sharing my card I created for this new challenge month.

When I created this card  I wanted it have a masculine slant, however upon completion I am not convinced it is suitable for a male.  However I still very much love how my card turned out, it looks very elegant.

I have used another Digital Stamp exclusive to Bizzy Becs as my feature for my card and have sat it onto a gold frame which compliments the very Dark Green embossed background which I have wiped with Lunar Paste in Gold Rush, so easy to use. 

I coloured the roses with Karin Brush Markers and applied a wash over the monstera leaves behind. I then texturised the leaves by colouring with Prisma Coloured pencils and love how even though I worked with a Blue and Green theme, love how the Prisma Colour Pencils on the leaves make the roses pop.

Supplies used:

Bizzy Becs Digital Stamp - Lovely Roses

Altenew 3D Botanical Embossing Folder - Curling Leaves

Lawn Fawn Die - Stitched Retangle Frames

Simon Hurley Lunar Paste - Gold Rush

Paper Roses Die - Stitched Rectangles

Happy Halloween....

Hi everyone.

Today is October 31st and in Australia many people will celebrate all things Halloween.

I have created a card using one of the older digitals from Bizzy Becs store and mixed it with some stencils from my own stash, some clear embossing powder, coloured texture paste and distress oxides.  I have coloured my image with prisma coloured pencils. 

To create my background I first sponged through my stencil with the Ranger Embossing Dauber to create a border of spider webs.  I embossed each one individually with clear embossing powder, before moving on to the Distress Oxides. Starting with Uncharted Mariner, then Tumbled Glass and finally Twisted Citron.  I then edged my card with the Black Soot Distress Ink Pad.  I then inked through my bat stencil with the Black Soot to add a few bats .  Finally I gently buffed the surface to expose the embossed areas.

Lastly I used liquitex Light Modelling Paste mixed with a little black gesso to create my spiders, which were on the Spider Web Stencil from my stash.

I had so much fun creating this background.

Supplies used:

Bizzy Becs Digital Stamp - Goth Angel Goth

Tim Holtz Distress Ink Set #3 - Black Soot

Distress Oxides - Uncharted Mariner, Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron

 Hi everyone.

Popping in today to share a new card with you all and to let you know that it is also the start of the new challenge month over at Bizzy Becs.  

For my card today I have used one of the older Digital Stamps from the Boyz will be Boyz collection called Cody on a swing.   My card is as I type winging its way to my Great Nephew who recently turned 3.  Sorry guys its is going to be late, still getting my head around the length of time it takes for mail to get to Canada from Australia.  

I have fussy cut the image and attached it under the frame with a very small split pin.  I got my inspiration for this from a card I saw recently created by  Melissa Goodman who made her elephant on her card move.    Sadly I haven't taken a video of how the swing moves from side to side, but have photographed its different positions.

New Flower Labels 5 Pack.....

Hi everyone.

Popping in today to share with you my card I made for my Dad for Fathers Day,  which we celebrated here in Australia yesterday.

For my card I used a new Digital Stamp that was recently released at Bizzy Becs.  It comes in a pack of 5 and must say they are very easy to use and cut out.

The image I choose consists of Grapto Ives (Succulents) and I took my inspiration from a photo I found on line, and used  Prisma Colour Pencils to colour my image.

Once coloured I then ran my image through my Minc machine by using the Minc Toner Marker to outline the frame and Copper Foil.  I also coloured the Happy Die Cut Sentitment with the Minc Toner Marker and used the same Copper coloured foil and put that through the Minc Machine. 

 My sentitment Fathers Day was computer generated.

Cosmos Trio....

 Hi everyone.

Dropping in today as it is the 5th of the month today and that means it is the start of a new challenge over at Bizzy Becs Store Blog.

For my inspiration this month I have been looking at youtube and have been inspired by one of Jennifer McGuire's latest videos and decided to have a go.  As I wanted to use a digital stamp instead of an acrylic one, after much searching, was able to do what I wanted and am very happy with the placements of the digital stamp.

I love how easy this technique is and how well it came together, it was quite fun and not to messy.  If you watch the video you will see what I mean.  I went with her second idea.
