Crystal got funky

Good morning! I thought I'd feature a sample I created recently using my Crystal Digi. The card is 8" square. I have backed it with pearlised card. Matted on top of this is some deep blue pearlised card at a slight angle. I then placed another piece of card - this time it's Sheena's stamp card which has been stencilled onto using The Prima fishing net stencil with distress inks in Seedless grapes. I have then matted a pearlised rectangle card on top in a plum shade and applied my cut out image on top.

Crystal has been coloured with Prima water colour pencils. I then used a dreamees sentiment stamp again layered with pearlised card and stamped with distress ink on to Sheena's stamping card. To finish this card I have added some sequin waste and then I placed some handmade mulberry flowers mixed with ribbon roses and a fabric daisy which has been glittered and topped with a dazzler. I hope you like my recent make! Pass by Sophia's Sweet Scribbles to view and purchase my new digital stamps.

Under the Sea

Good morning friends followers and visitors. This morning I have one card to show you. I finished it  a few days ago but only just got round to blogging it. I've just started collecting Prima Doll stamps. They are AMAZING. They are fantastic for paper piecing and combining with textures. So my first Prima doll card features the Mermaid. She is a lovely stamp, the lines are clear and easy to hand cut or machine cut around!





"Under the sea" card created with:

Handmade blue paper
Blue tissue paper (bought in a pack at The works)
Sequin waste (No idea where I got this :( )
Mulberry flowers (given to me by my mum)
Sequins
A satin bow to embellish
Prima Marketing mixed media doll stamp - Sallie The Mermaid.


The Mermaid has been stamped on to Water colour card (Crafters companion) and coloured/painted with Prima Watercolour pencils. I have used hand made patterned paper found in a pound store (wish I bought more) as the tail and pearlised blue card for the bra and fins.

I hope you like my latest creation. I'm looking forward to more projects with these lovely stamps!

Butterflies of Hope

Good evening friends, followers and visitors! This is my second post for tonight. I have begun to collect copic markers. I tested the water with them and bravely purchased the small 5+ 1 skin tone set. Well I fell in love with them straight away. I particularly love the brush nib, it acts just like a paintbrush and you do not need much pressure at all when colouring. They blend ever so well. I then purchased 3 green shades and 3 brown shades so I could complete an image fully. I have chosen to colour in a Hannah Lynn digital image called Butterflies of Hope available here : Crafts and me

Copics used:
E000, E00, E21,E25,E29,E49,G00,G02,G05

I then made a card with the image.

Created with:
Stamps by sheena Douglass
pearl stamens, pearl bead string
Dazzlers
patterned papers from my stash
Brown pearl card
Core'dinations cardstock
