IAAS Funny Christmas

Come and join in with this theme, 'Funny Christmas', at International Art and Soul. 

I used an 8x8 card blank by Crafts UK. The image is by Rick St Dennis and after printing the image I coloured her with my Promarkers. I used a large classic oval Spellbinder die to cut it out and then edged it with Barn Door Distress Ink before setting it one side while I arranged the background. The circle behind the image is embossed with an embossing folder that came with a magazine pack from Joanna Sheen. The two patterned papers are from a pad that I have but I'm blowed if I can find which one! They are matted on to bright green card by Papermill. I generated the sentiment on the computer and then cut it with a Spellbinder oval die before edging with a green Distress Ink. Three red gems from Hobbycraft complete the design.

International Art and Soul - Texture

 

This challenge theme  'Texture' was set by me and if you come over to International Art and /Soul you can join us and see what all my team mates have made.

First of all I must apologise for the image. My camera broke before I had the chance to take a photo so I had to use my mobile phone camera - not ideal. It's not as clear as it could be. I did try scanning it but that wasn't good either. 

My card blank is a scalloped 8x8 by Craft UK. I had already decided on another design but when I'd almost finished the separate elements I didn't like the card as I started to build it. I scrapped the idea and started again!

I bought the organza strips from Hobbycraft a couple of years ago because I loved the colours. I'm a sucker for green.I almost tore my hair out trying to make them stay where I wanted them. I did eventually manage it by securing them with double sided tape. I'd had a phase of winning digi images just before Christmas and this one was from Rick St Dennis. I coloured her with Promarkers and cut with a classic Spellbinder oval die matting it on to lime green card by Papermill and cut with the Spellbinder scalloped die. I set her across the organza strips on raised pads. A brass charm by Craft Box was tucked slightly under the image to the right. Three green gems were set in top right corner. I generated the sentiment on the computer, matted it on to green card after cutting both with scalloped dies. I raised it on pads and set to the left of the image.

Tuesday Throwdown - Favourite Colour

MAWTT Inspired by your favourite TV programme

Come and join us at Moving Along with the Times with Hazel's theme of 'Inspired by your favourite TV programme'.  My programme was 'The Voice' which isn't my favourite programme but is pretty close. I couldn't think of what to do for 'Death in Paradise' - lol.

My large card blank is by Joanna Sheen. The image is Chanteuse Jazz Baby by Rick St Dennis and I've coloured her with my Promarkers. I cut her with a Spellbinders grand oval nestie and then matted it on to a yellow scalloped nestie. The yellow card and the burgundy card is from Papermill, the pink glitter card is by Create and Craft from years ago. I bought the Sue Wilson bow dies in September and this is the first time I've used one of them. The rose in the centre of the bow is by Wild Orchid Crafts. The sentiment is one I got free last week in a craft magazine. The whole sheet of stamps, by Clearly Besotted, has flowers, butterflies, a jar, a sweet and three sentiments. I only bought the magazine because of the stamps! The sentiment was coloured with my burgundy Promarker and then matted on to another Spellbinders oval die cut in burgundy.
