Wedding season is fast coming up on us - hubby is already well booked for the season.  So this is a really useful addition to the wedding range - the image is from Birdie Brown.  The card is actually A5 - but folded through the length to get a long slim card.  This is one of my favourite folds and I have finally managed to source a supply of envelops for it so I can go back to making them.
All I did was to put the lover section of the card into an embossing folder to create a really quick and effective background

Scrapper's Delights

It's so great to be working with a spring image after all the Christmas - winter - and love stuff of late. 

This is from a new range of cute girly bunny images over at Scrappers Delights.  You can have them with or without the ears on the hoodie - so suitable for all year not just Easter.  I was going to make an Easter card - but somehow it ended up being a note book!  That's the joys of my office.

The image is coloured with Copics - cut quite close and flat over all the background papers - I think she really stands out

New box

We have loads of snow andthe kiddies next door are out biulding a snowman.  I have to admit that I am not a fan - it means I can't put my nose out the door again to-day - and if the cold continues much longer I am at risk of getting another fibro flare up - just when I thought Ihad got away with it this winter.

Anyway - found a pattern for a mini milk carton.  Wanted to do one of these for ages - they look so cute.  It was a breeze with my new Hougie board - seriously considering stocking them.  My first effort

Inking

I have been trying to get the whole month's work done and all the listing scheduled ready to go.  I need to be ahead just in case our big plan comes off (can't tell you yet!) - but I can feel myself getting into a bit of a rut.  I am going to chill a bit and buy some stock - and do a few other bits and bobs.

So in that vein - something different.

The background paper is from a set that the old goat brought bacjk from the USA a few years ago - and I loved the detail in the corner.  The lady is embossed from the Cuttlebug Oriental set - then cut close round the edge and inked with 3 different purple/pink Distress inks - and raised up so you get shadows all round.  The cardstock is a purple with a subtle gold sheen.

I think I might just leave it plain so as not to detract from the delicate inking

This week we are getting all lovie!! - except me - who never does what she is told with digis (he he he)

This layout is a sheer accident - I grabbed an A4 sheet - scored it and - disaster!!  I must of cut a strip off the edn to use for something else.

Hay - Hoe - a new card fold was invented!!

Not going to waste it - so the design is on 2 levals.  The key on the ribbon and brad part are on the underneath section - and the heart and message are on the upper section - neat eah?

The heart is inked and shaped to give it a lovely 'bump' - and the lock is cut out and raised too.

Love my accident

This little huni would make a fab 'well done' card as well as a love type one.  It is Stamp Fairy - Teddy.  I love the look on his face!

I cut a window in my card and mounted the image from the back using 3D foam to get the distance from the front, to give it more of the 'looking up' idea.  I have also glazed his nose so it's beautiful and shiny.  The paper is wonderful - it's so bright and colourful

Scrapper's Delight

I have a new Angel image for you to day - from Janice over at Scrapper's Delight.  You know me - I am not a 'cutie' people person - but I really do love the Gothic look that Janice gets into her drawings.

The wings are a neat trick I use sometimes.  Go over just the outlines with a fine tip metallic pen - this one is gold.  It gives you a light feathery look that is really pretty

Gecko Galzs

Here is another in my occasional series of images from the Gecko Gals collections.  I have the Chinese set - you get 50 in each set - yes 50!!!!  So I will be on this gig for a while yet!

I don't often do soft and delicate - but I am really pleased with the way the colouring has turned out.  I Used the Copic B9xs with a dash of the palest Rs.  It is such a dream-ie image I thought the sentiment was perfect for it

Hope you like it

I chose this teacher image from Dearie Dolls Digi Stamps - I thought it was a bit diffrent.  The card / pouch is a diper fold that I made an inner to slide in and out.
The ribbon flowers are dead easy.  Take a length of wid ribbon - fold in half - run a running stitch along the fold - gather it up and swirl the flower round to make a nice shape - and ust the thread to over sew at the base to keep it all in place.  I glued on with silicone and put a button in the middle

quick kissie

Quickie shout out for the freebie of the month on Scrapper's Delights

It's a lipstick - kiss - image - - - but you know me - - let's corrupt it for a Valentine's days card!!!!

I put the kiss image into my Publisher - and made it big enough to use on a 6" square card - then the magic - I changed the colour to a strong pink - how cool is that!!!!


The image is matted with red - and the letters are cut on the Cuttle bug

- how cool is this

My guy

My palace guard dog really does love his veggies.  He stands under my feet when I do the dinner just waiting for the scraps to come his way.  His all time favourites are the cores out of the cauliflower and broccoli - he is just nuts for them.

He carries them off tot he corner of the dining room and chops away for ages.

Scraper's Delight

Scraper's Delights

I said to Janice that I was doing the Valentine archer and she said - 'that's my faverate' - ok Janice - NO pressure there then!!!!

Hope you like what I did with her

I had the idea for the topper first - the embossing at the side and the ribbon - so I did all theat first - then I dug in the scraps box for something that pinks and reds with out being too heavy.

The colouring is Copics - really pleased with the hair.  Still not all that good at heair - but this worked out great.  New colour combo - the E9xs are an aubun look

Hay - we free range of the shop to pick what ever we like this week - talk about a kid in a candy shop!!!

In the end I settled for this wonderful little boy star fishing


There is loads of occasions that you could use this - and you know me - always an extra one for the boys.

This time I made a picture - A4 in size.  I made the digi bigger - and changed the colour to a light blue.  The original idea was to scribe over the printed image, but when I was playing with spacing it fitted really well into the curve if the moon.  I left the image totally plain and added a few silver stars round the fishing pole - then stamped a silver swirl at the bottom and added a couple of cut and embossed stars.

I had a cute little wowl from Copic Marker scrapbooking.  We have always called them wowls in our family - no idea why.

I bet You would never think of Copic Marker's site to get digis! - I have had several from them during my time on DYSU and they are just super.  Really good quality and very colour-able - I guess being 'Copic' friendly they understand about colouring.

ANYWAY
- my wowl-ie

- wooo says that you have to use an image as a wooole item!!! (sorry - drifting again ;-) )

The moon is part of the digi - but I cut it out and added it separately.  the flowers are punched to match -

- Copic colouring - with the cute-ist owl pattern scrapbook paper that has been sitting in my off ice for at least 3 years just waiting for this image

Life

I have been so brave - I wall papered one wall in my bed room in my little flat.  I got the wall paper for something silly like £1 a roll when Focus were selling up - but not had the nerve to have a go.  It's years since I did any wall papering.  I did paste the wall instead of the paper and it helped make the job a lot less fiddly and messy.

It looks really super - not sure I want to do loads of it though
