My Mum's Craft Shop, Cute Card Thursday & Sketch Saturday

Well , this card is 3 things rolled into one. I made it for Cute Card Thursday with the Sketch Saturday sketch but used everything from My Mum's Craft Shop!!

The theme for Cute Card Thursday is

A Stitch in Time

Here's the sketch

And here is my card

I've used some brand new papers by Bazzill Basics called Beach House. I used them for the background papers and for the little tag embellies. They have been cut from the papers and stitched around and inked.  They really are gorgeous papers. The image is from CC Designs and is called Beachy Beatrice. She has been coloured with Copics.

All available from My Mum's Craft Shop.

We'd love you to join in with us at CCT , why not go over and take a look at the other DT girls work here.

My Mum's Craft Shop

This project was made for the My Mum's Craft Shop blog. I made a little treat box.

Front view

Side view

I made the box with Coordination card stock. I've used the gorgeous Bo Bunny Serenity paper pad for the front. The image and sentiment are from a set by Stamping Bella called Lolly and her brolly. She's been coloured with Copics and the raindrops have a little bit of lace stickles on them. I cut the sentiment up and edged it with turquoise brillance ink. The flourishes Cheery Lynn's Mini Fanciful Flourishes have been cut out of a sheet of paper from the same Bo Bunny pad Then just some Bo Bunny Serenity gems to finish the box off.

Willow Sketchie Challenge

Thursday again and it's time for another Willow Sketchie challenge. This week it's Anne Marie's turn. Here is her sketch

And the theme is  Gingham.

I've used the Walter and Winnie does Christmas CD Rom for my card. The papers, image and border were all printed out and inked around the edges and I die cut the image with a spellbinder die.

Texture for Creative Expressions DT call.

 

Here is a canvas that I made using Dylusions spray inks, acrylic paints, die cuts, stamps, masks and pastels. This is the first canvas I ever made and I wanted to add lots of texture to it. It's hanging in my craft room.

 

 

I'm showing this today on my blog as I'm applying to the Creative Expressions Design Team Call and one of the stipulations is to make a piece using lots of texture.

 

If you would like to apply the call is here. 

My Mum's Craft Shop

 Kitty has started to get in some gorgeous Christmas products into  My Mum's Craft Shop. One of my fav paper pads that I've seen so far has got to be the new Bazzill Basics - Believe pad. Traditional colours but gorgeous patterns. So I had to use it to make my card.

I've done my usual and machine stitched and distress inked around the edges. The two little song sheets are part of a sheet of paper so I just cut them out. I've not bought any new Christmas stamps yet this year but I wanted my image to be something new so I looked around the shop and thought hmmm I could use this one it's very versatile. So I've used the new CC Designs - School Hansel. He can be used for anything not just for school cards. I coloured him with my trusty Copics. I then sat him on a bench image. The papers have such great patterns that I didn't go overboard with the embellies so I just added some tiny gems and ribbon.

Have a lovely weekend. My daughter is coming home for a couple of days , let's hope the weather stays nice!!

Canvas and easel

Friday!!! Roll on tomorrow when my daughter is coming home for the weekend from Uni, really looking forward to seeing her.
So today is my turn on the Studio12 Polkadoodle blog. I've made a canvas to go on an easel.

I took a blank canvas and covered it with matt medium and then adhered the large rose paper from the All Sewn Up kit from the Picknix Collection 1 CD. I printed out the elements from the same All Sewn Up kit and inked them with walnut distress ink. I punched out the butterflies using the smaller rose paper and used them for a skirt for the dressmakers dummy. The buttons have been cut with a Marianne Designs die and the buttons from the CD. The sentiment is also from All Sewn Up. Before adhering the elements I used gesso and a flower mask to add some texture and also inked through some sequin waste. I also dabbed over some ink to make it look vintagey an also smeared some light pink paint over the canvas. The elements and sentiment were then adhered.

 

Don't forget to keep going over to the Studio 12 blog to see the fab projects the DT show.
