Wishing for Summer

It's the 1st of the month and time for our new challenge at All Dressed Up in the Facebook Group.

This time we'd like to see your cards with embellishments, these can be as much or as little as you like.

For my inspiration I'm using Flower Dreams, you can find her in Wendy's shop here.

The image has been coloured with Copics and then I've cut her out using Spellbinders die and then matter her onto a doily.  My design papers are from Lemoncraft, I've distressed these with a paper distressing tool.

Here's close up of the flowers I've used for my embellishments, I've also added some crafting fabric gauze and a few silver dragonfly charms. 

In this angle you can see flowers and the 3-d effect on the card.  You can also see a close up of the stitched border I sketched onto the design papers.

Don't forget as well as the Facebook challenge we also have the blog challenge, you can find that here.

Thanks for popping by for a look today

Romeo for Valentines

Just popping a card in for the inspiration at SheepSki Designs in the Facebook group.  The challenge starts today.

I thought I'd show how Romeo doesn't just have to be used for Christmas cards :D

You can find him here in the shop where you can get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

I've coloured him with Copics and scattered some embossing enamel as I would for a winter / Christmas card.  However, I've used mostly reds which are perfect with the snow heart he's drawing.

There's some design paper for matting behind the image from Joy Crafts, then I've used some off cuts of paper to make a banner for interest and a heart left over from a die cut banner.  The sentiment is made up from Tim Holtz stickers.

Thanks for popping by for a look today, hope you'll bob into the group to see some lovely inspiration from the design team :)

A Spark....

Today is Outlawz Sketch day, we've changed to a monthly blog for this year.

We're sponsored this month by Graciellie, the image I'm using for my inspiration is part of the Start Anew Magnolia digital set

The image has been coloured with Copics, I'v e also used a green sparkly gel pen to add some interest to the green ferns.

The sentiment comes as part of the set,  I've used the same Copics to add some colour for interest to the sentiment.

This is our sketch fro the month.

The design paper is from Lemoncraft.  I've distressed that and the image card with a Tonic Studios tool.  The only embellishment I've added is a white paper flower.

Thanks for popping by for a look today, we hope to see you at the challenge.

Hello Gorgeous Autumn!

Yup I know it's way way off autumn in the UK, but I was asked to be a Guest Designer for Rabisco Challenge this time and this was one of the awesome All Dressed Up images to create with :)

She's called Acorn Fairy, you can find her here in the shop

The image has been coloured with Copics.  I've them fussy cut her.

I got a Gel Press for Christmas, the background behind the image was the result from a first session playing with inks and a flowery Tim Holtz stencil.

All I've added to the card after that was a wood chip sentiment coloured with Copics.
