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.

supplies used:

Bizzy Becs Digital Stamp - Cosmos Trio

Altenew Stamp - Statement Flowers (for the sentiment)

Altenew Stamp & Die Set - Halftone Hello

Paper Rose Die - Scalloped Rectangle Frames

Paper Rose Die - Stitched Rectangles

Jewel.....

Hi everyone and welcome to the start of another challenge over at Bizzy Becs Store Blog.

For my card for this month I have chosen to colour a new digital image called Jewel.  She and her friends have recently been added to the store and are all super cute. 

 I have coloured her up using Prisma Coloured Pencils and have to say as my first ever image coloured with pencils was very pleased how she came together.  I will however change the type of paper that I print  onto in future when using pencils.  I used Xpressit paper which I found quite slippery.

supplies used:

Bizzy Becs Digital Stamp - Jewel

Penny Black Transparent Stamp - Sprinkles and Smiles
Lawn Fawn Die - Large Stitched Square Stackables

Dress my Craft - Angel Mix Sequins

Nuvo - Glittler Gloss

Sakura Gelly Roll - Golden Star

Dont forget to drop on over to the Store, there is for the month of March a 10% Storewide Super Saver.

Thanks for dropping by.

Until Next time, Happy Crafting

Happy Easter ......

Well it will be in a few weeks and I am very much looking forward to eating a hot cross bun.  This is one of the things I love most about Easter (apart from chocolate and spending time with my family) is making my own buns and serving them fresh from the oven. 

Today as I write this post I am looking through the windows overlooking my parents garden.  There is a gentle breeze and the skies are blue and little birds are hopping through the branches of the shrubs, magpies are caroling in the morning  and a Wattlebird  is having an early morning bath in the bird bath.  So nice and relaxing, being in the country.

Well it is March and that means it is time for a new challenge over at Bizzy Becs  and I now share with you my card made for this challenge, together with a little description on how I made the shaker card.

I have used the following which are available to pre order via Bizzy Becs on-line store.

Lawn Fawn  Clear Stamps and matching Die  - Eggstra Special Easter

Lawn Fawn Die - Small Stiched Rectangle Stackables

Memory Box Die - Shaker Circle Frames

Spellbinders - Standard Circles Small

The Easter basket and bunny have both been coloured with Copic Markers and then accents added with my Sakura Gelly Roll Pens.  The flower spray is made up from flowers some previously purchased from Bizzy Becs and the rest from my own stash.

To make the shaker I die cut the Shaker Circles 6 times out of white cardstock then using a liquid glue, stuck them altogether.  For the outside layer I die cut a circle from Bazzill to match the card front.

Before adhering it I added a die cut circle from acetate then glued on the top layer.

I filled the centre of the shaker with multi coloured sequins, glass beads and prills (all from my own stash) and then glued the underside of the circle stack to my card front.  

Don't forget to pop on over to the store and check out all the new arrivals including the new range of flowers and embellishments.

Thanks for dropping by.

I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend with your family and friends.

Until next time

Happy crafting
