Spring Flowers

I been rather quite lately what with my Mum coming home from Hospital (glad to say she back to normal now) and the Easter hols. But in between I have managed to get some crafting done, just not had time to share with you all. Here is my card for today, it's similar to one that I made at a Phil Martin workshop at the end of last year but I've put my own twist on it. I started with an 8x8 card base and black card for the matting, some white card cut slightly smaller than the black which I coloured with distress inks. I then sprayed Dylusions Shimmer Sprays onto my glass mat and mopped up some of the colour onto the background I had made. I repeated this for the centre circle and added a sentiment from Chocolate Baroque. I made some flowers that from a die that was bought from the Internet and mopped up more spray from the mat before putting together on the card with some die cuts of leaves, from another die bought from the Internet.

Hope you are all enjoying this wonderful weather that we're having at the moment, I'm off to my Sister-in-laws this afternoon.



I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Allsorts..... Blossoms, Butterflies and Bugs
A Bit More Time To Craft..... Anything Goes
Back To Basics and Beyond..... Use A Spray
My Time To Craft..... Spring Flowers

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my wonderful Husband, who hasn't seen this card yet as he's still away today playing golf. I made this card (an 8x8) by first cutting a piece of Sheena's stamping card to just over 7x7, then I used stencil paste through a Dylusions stencil which was over sprayed with Dylusions when the paste was dry. I then used Stamps by Ryn to for the background scene. The giant turtle is also a stamp by Ryn that I stamped onto a separate piece of card and then fussy cut it out and added it with glue gel. The Happy Birthday die cut is from Tonic.



I would like to enter this card into the Customer Creation Challenge over on Ryn's blog and also into the Stamping Sensations challenge which is Anything Goes (this will be my third entry into this challenge this month)

Autumn At Stamping Sensations

This months challenge over at Stamping Sensations is Autumn and I could not resist using this gorgeous Lavinia Autumn Fall Fairy stamp for my card. I started with a piece of linen card stock and sprayed with Dylusion sprays in red, orange and yellow. When it was dry I cut the card to the size I needed for the 6x6 card base then I stamped the fairy into the middle of the card with Versafine black onyx ink. I then went around the outside of the card with the  Lavinia maple leaf stamp in various Autumnal colours. I finished by just adding a few dots in a white pen on the more open areas of the card.

Pixies Snippets Playground

Time again for Pixies Snippets Playground and my card this week has been made with a brand new snippet (I will probably post the card that I made with the main piece here tomorrow). It was made using a small piece that was left over from another card where I created a background using Dylusion sprays. For this card I over stamped with a couple of stamps from Chocolate Baroque and then coloured with some pencils. The sentiment is also from Chocolate Baroque and one of my favourites for this time of year.

Perfectly Created Chaos Challenge 3

Time for the third Perfectly Created Chaos Challenge, I was very lucky to have my card in first challenge chosen in the top three. I was away for the last/second challenge but I'm ready for the third. This time Dori is asking that we have three of something on our cards, this could be three of anything, buttons, ribbons, I've gone for flowers. I started with a piece of linen effect card which I sprayed with Dylusion sprays. When dry I used a stencil and some slightly darker ink and inked through onto the sprayed background. I then stamped the Tim Holtz butterfly onto some white card stack and coloured with some matching pro markers cutting it out when finished. The sentiment is from the same stamp set as the butterfly, I mounted this and the background onto some gold mirri card and then onto a matching 8x8 card base. Before finally placing the butterfly I added some gold leaves cut with a Tattered Lace die and also some flowers also cut and embossed using Tattered Lace dies, these I finished by blending some lighter ink onto the flowers and adding some gems to the centres.

Imagine....

I have a small (5x7) canvas to show you this evening using a stamped image from Indigo Blu. I bought this stamp back in April at Ally Pally and had stamped it out but not coloured it in. I also has a couple of small canvases sitting on my worktop, so I thought why not combine the two. I first used some texture paste and a Splodgeaway stencil, then when dry I sprayed it with Dylusion Sprays. When the spray had dried I rubbed some Pebeo Gilding Wax over the raised parts. I coloured the image with Promarkers and stamped a sentiment from a Tim Holtz stamp sheet and used Distress ink around the outside.



Good news on the FIL front, he finally made it home yesterday with a larger care package than when he went in.

More Christmas Cards

I can't believe that we're now in September, the sun is shinning, it's lovely and warm and I'm posting Christmas cards on my blog!! I've got a couple more Chocolate Baroque cards to show you today, made again with the cover a card large background stamps (I love these wonderful images they make really quick cards). I made some backgrounds to stamp onto by putting inks, either from an ink pad, of from Distress stains or spray inks such as Dylusions, or Sprinkys onto a glass cutting mat, and then picking up the colour onto card. You tend to get some really very random backgrounds this way.



After they had dried, I stamped onto them using the large stamps and a versamark ink pad, then embossed with WOW white embossing powder. I really like the results that you get this way, the randomness of the background seems to work well with the white embossing. Both of the sentiments are also from Chocolate Baroque and are newly released this month, they are larger than normal sentiments for Christmas, and work well with this sort of card too.
 
I'm going to enter these cards into the following challenges:-
Inspire Me Fridays - Anything Goes
Lady Anne's Challenge - Stamp Anything Goes
Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes

Craft A Scene - Under The Sea

I'm back again for the second time today, this time it's the start of the new challenge over on the Craft A Scene blog. This month we are asking you to make a scene with an under water theme. My background for this card was made using Dylusion inks sprayed onto a glass cutting mat and them picked up onto the card. When this was dry I stamped onto it using the Sea Bubbles, Sea Weed set, School of Fish, from Designs By Ryn, straight onto the background. Also the Mermaid silhouette stamps from Chocolate Baroque. The small Seahorses are from the Seahorse set also from Designs By Ryn, these were stamped out onto card then coloured with promarkers and added to the scene.  Then to finish it off I gave it a spray with Crafters Companion Silver Spray and Sparkle. I popped the finished scene onto some silver mirri card and then onto a light green centura pearl card base. The sentiment is from Chocolate Baroque, once stamped out I went around the outside with the Sea Bubbles. Do pop over to the blog and take a look at the what the lovely scenes rest of the Design Team have made.

Angela Angel Fish

I've been playing again with Dylusion sprays and Designs By Ryn, and I've used the gorgeous Angel fish. Ryn calls the angel fish Wanda, but for this post I've called her Angela. Along with Angela/Wanda I've used the seaweed stamp, the school of fish and the water bubbles.  I made the background by spraying Dylusion inks in Campso Teal and Vibrant Turquoise onto my glass cutting mat, and then laying the card into the ink. I was so surprised at the amount of pieces of card I managed to colour just by adding a little spray of water. I stamped the seaweed in shades of green Adorandack ink pads, the sea bubbles were stamped using the slate Adirondack ink pad, and the going over some of the swirls with a white pen. The school of fish was stamped using memento Tuxedo Black, but I used the second stamp rather than the first. Angela/Wanda was stamped and embossed with silver embossing powder, as was the sentiment, I used pro markers to colour  Angela. The sentiment has not shown up in the photo very well, but looks fine on the card. Finally I mounted the background onto some silver mirri card, and then a 6x6 card base before adding Angela with some glue gel.

Designs By Ryn Meets Chocolate Baroque....

....with a little bit of Dylusions. This weekend it's my Father-in-laws Birthday, so I had to put my thinking cap on. In the past I  made cards with car's, shed's, scene's, more car's, ship's I think you get the picture. So I wanted to do something different, and this is what I came up with. I had bought new stamps from Designs By Ryn, and not had a chance to use them, the same with the Dylusion spray's that have been sat on the shelf since the New Year.  So yesterday I got out the sprays and had a play, (I can't believe how far a small amount of the ink can go). I left them to dry overnight and then got the stamps out this afternoon, ready for a play. I've been inspired to make a scene like this by two of the ladies on Ryn's Design team, Shirley of  Paper Creations By Shirley, and Miranda of Mir'acle Art Inspirations, they have amazing art work on their blogs, if you've not visited before please go and take a look, you won't be disappointed. I started with the sea bubbles stamp and cool peri Adirondack ink pad across the top of the scene, (it was all stamped with Adirondack ink pads). Next with two different shades of green I stamped the sea weed at the bottom, and with black I stamped the school of fish (these I did a second stamping, after the first to give the effect of shadows or more fish in the background), and the bubbles. The sea horses were stamped out onto some white card stock and embossed with gold embossing powder, and then coloured with distress markers and a water brush. I them cut them out and fixed them to the scene with glue gel. The base card was made with a caramel, linen card stock. This I stamped with shell stamps from Chocolate Baroque. Finally I cut out the word DAD with the Cricut and added to the side. 

My Father-in-law comes from Helston in Cornwall, so grew up never far for the sea. I hope this brings back a few memories for him.
