today is my dt day for Visible Image and im almost done with Christmas makes!

so i went for a tag this time

iv gone for a nice vintage look, iv had these papers forever, they are paper mania Hampstead

i have used the  Vintage Santa stamp . Believe from the new Believe set. and of course my all time fave the Grunge flourish.

i stated by cutting a simple tag shape and covering with the paper, i distressed the edges then stamped with the Grunge flourish in a dark reddish brown, i printed out a scroll from my craft studio and distressed the top and bottom edges and distressed it a bit more with the brown ink then i stamped the Believe in the centre.

Santa was stamped and coloured fussy cut and added to the tag, the scroll was added then i finished it off with some hand made poinsettia flowers.

to be honest guys i think im all christmased out lol

hi guys, today's challenge is for

Delicious doodles

and i have to say the weirdest challenge theme ever but it isn't called a challenge for nothing lol

Hairy Legs

well i did warn you lol

i have to admit i was stuck, and I'm also in Christmas card meltdown mode and suffering form the nasty bug hubby kindly gave me,so this is what my poor tired sick brain came up with .....

I used the beautiful Gothic church window,which i printed coloured and fussy cut, then layered onto a picture of a stained glass window, then i printed the Christmas candles 4 times coloured and cut to decoupage them to give depth, and the Hairy legs.....

well its Fred ! or the spider from Black widow..lol

so there you have the hairy legs creation from my weird imaginations.

so are you up for the challenge...go on its a good one xx

Hi guys its time for my weekly 

Visible Image 

post this week i have made some money wallets

the backing paper is all from My craft Studio, the first one i used the

Enchanted Snowflakes & the greeting from Vintage Christmas Trio

they are stamped in a blue metallic ink from Encore! then I used clear embossing powder over it, and finished with some glittery ribbon.

on this next one i used the Winter Tree and the  same sentiment

the tree and sentiment where stamped using black Versacolor, then clear embossing.

then i added tiny tiny silver gems all over the tree, and finished with some silver Rik rak to look like snow.

this next one i used my all time fave stamp the Grunge Flourish

i simply stamped it using Hyacinth big and juicy stamp pad stamping in from the edge gradually taking it back a bit each time to make a tree, then added the sparkly bits, and the greeting is stamped in the same Metallic blue from Encore!.

And finally we have good old Sants himself, i used the

Father Christmas stamp & the Branch from Edward is immortal

Santa was stamped and coloured then cut out, and added with sticky pads, the branch was stamped in Brushed corduroy distress ink, then i added red berries using Christmas red stickles, and finishing with some ribbon with a merry Christmas greeting on it

and then of course inside is the best bit 

hope you like these wallets

happy crafting

OK so the theme of this challenge is 

Anything goes

we are sponsored by

 All dressed up Stamps

and they are offering 2 images from their Etsy store to the winner

OK onto my makes

first up this super jolly snowman called 

Its Snowing

 i have kept it pretty simple so as not to overwhelm the image, i chose pretty blue pattern paper and a slightly deep shade of blue card, simple matt and layer, then i coloured the image and painted the snowman with dries clear white glue and covered with Glamour dust to give him the look of wonderful Crystal snow, then i added crystal flakes to the snowballs and to the o in snow, i finished off with some white buttons to look like more snowflakes.

this next image is called

Happy Christmas Little star

isn't she adorable!

this time i went for pink and a blue grey colour theme, i mat and layered the papers onto the card, and added the image panel slightly above the top of the card, i quite like this layout iv used it before, then the image was coloured in soft delicate pinks, the star once coloured is covered in glossy accents, i punched a lace border and added across the bottom, accented this with a pretty pretty pink ribbon, then made a bow from the same ribbon, i cut shaped and layered some flowers and finished these with a gem in the centre.

so now its your turn come on over to the challenge blog look at all the fantastic dt inspiration and get your entries in, look forward to seeing all the wonderful creations from you guys x

Visible Image,Create with your soul

Hi  guys, hope your all well today is my dt make for 

Visible Image

and iv made a notebook using the wonderful

Create with your Soul

I made the covers from cut up cardboard boxes, covered it with pretty paper, made the holes with my cropadile stamped random Dragonflies in a very pale pearlesent white (they have kinda disappeared you have to move the book so the light hits them) i also used the Ripped Fishnet which you can just about see behind the embellishments. i have cut up an applique for the leaf fronds, and the butterflies are off a trim i have.

iv added ribbon and lace, and lots of lovely flowers, its taken me all day to punch the holes for all the pages lol.

next came the binding

 

I hand bound it making a fancy pattern at the back then i added a clock to one end of the binding cord cutting it shorter, and leaving the other long i added a bird charm and this long end becomes a bookmark

I love making these books, and i hope the lady getting this loves it too .

Morning all you lovely peeps, today i have a new challenge for you from 

Delicious Doodles

and a cool theme this one 

Inspired by a Movie

this is inspired by one of my fave movies...

can you guess?

OK ill tell its Practical magic lol

the words around the edge of the top mat layer are the true love spell she makes up in the movie, the flowers are like the ones she uses in the spell, and the quote is to do with her aunts though I'm not sure it is strictly from the film i do have a picture someplace of them with this quote on.

Blanch is obvious really and of course she is holding a potion!

Then of course i had to cover it in tiny silver and purple gems to add that touch of magic :)

hope you like it guys

so whats your Favourite movie?

Christmas on the dark side with Visible Image and some super exciting news

Hi all

Well first of my dt  post for
  Visible Image

I really had fun with this, we have all seen the cute Santas so me being me had to take a detour down to creepy street for a look at Christmas on the dark side.

 First I stamped coloured and cut out Father Christmas

He is  done in shades of Grey, I gave him big eyes with glossy accents

Then I moved onto making a sleigh, (there are lots of free templates on Google) I found a shape I liked sized it in my graphics program and printed it out, cut it out and using it to draw around I cut out 2 of them, I then embossed these with the crackle from the Time after Time set, then I took a length of card and used it to make the base of the sleigh.

Next came the real fun part, I made lots of little boxes, to fill the sleigh, and then added some creepy little gifts, some skeleton  gingerbread men, a crow, some evil liquorice candy canes, a voodoo doll, tomahawk and a couple of headless teddies lol, oh and a skull.

Next I pimped up the sleigh using various stamp sets, some trim and some chain.

I hope you like this as much as I liked making it.

glitter n sparkle

hi all, time for a new challenge at 

Glitter n Sparkle

the theme is

Show us some Snow

i started with a purple base card and added a pretty background paper from My Craft Studio

i went over this with a snowflake stamp from the Enchanting snowflake set by Visible image. 

i used clear embossing powder to give the crystal snowflake feel.

then i went over the tree with dries white glue and added cosmic shimmer iced crystal flakes i got from

 That Craft place.

the image is holiday aurora honey from Sassy studios, she is coloured with pro markers then fussy cut and added to card with sticky foam pads.

and finally i have stamped the greeting using the seasons greetings stamp from the

Vintage Christmas Trio set again from Visible image.

i quite like the faerie tale feel of this one, hope you do too .

so come on guys show us some snow !

Hi guys its me with my Dt post for 

Visible Image 

and its not Saturday LOL

my day has changed to Wednesdays so here it is a little midweek inspiration for your Christmas crafts

i have used the 

Enchanting Snowflakes 

 to make this super pretty Christmas tree

first i made a cone using tracing paper, then i stamped  and embossed lots and lots of snowflakes using all 4 sizes once embossed i would recommend you give each one a single coat of acrylic medium or modge podge to seal because the next step can cause the embossing to crackle off, OK so once you have cut them all out as close to the design as possible, just take each one and scrunch it up in your hand, i know it goes against everything to take a perfect stamped embossed image and screw it up lol, but its worth it i promise.

then starting with the biggest size simply layer the snowflakes up and around the cone, i just used the collall quick dry tacky glue, works like a dream.

then i draped a ribbon to which beads had been attached and a few bows round and round like a garland.

the finishing touch is where the magic happens

I bought some battery operated tealight candles, and placed the cone over the top

as this whole thing is made from tracing paper you get a wonderful translucent light shinning through, so after dark it looks beautiful

i hope you like this and will give it a go

Visible Image Edward is Imortal

hi guys, well its Saturday and you all know what that means

Visible Image !

today's make is a card using the fab Edward is Immortal set , i of course used Mr spooky himself :)

the bats & the branch all from the set

& 

Imagine from the Imagine Dream Inspire set

so the base is a black card layered with a nice blue paper, then i have added a panel of brown paper &a couple of smaller panels in lighter shades of blue and brown.

on the blue i used the branch in black verserfine ink, and on the brown i used the bats, stamping first in second gen stamp to give the faded effect then just straight stamping to add the darker bats giving a bit of depth, i used the same 2 brown papers to make a panel for the sentiment. once stamped it was stuck down.

Edward was stamped and coloured, fussy cut and placed on the card. i stamped some extra bats onto another piece of card and covered them in glossy accents once dry i cut them out and added to the card.

and there you have it,can you Imagine a vampire?

hi guys

no challenge post today lol, just for a change i thought i would show you a canvas i did for my sister, as we all know we hate having our photo taken i thought this would be nice because its of my sister her grandson and my mum and they both like it !

i think it is a beautiful picture they all look so happy , anyway here it is

its a 12 x 12 canvas painted pale pink then a 12 x 12 paper ripped along the edges has been glued down, next i chose there to place the picture, then arranged all the pieces, some net and lace and grunge board keys and swirls, buttons, bottle top a cameo and a tiny birdcage

then i painted it in a mushroom colour to match her room, to add interest i splattered white all over too.

then i added bling and lots of flowers, in the top photo you can see the details better, but i took this before i added the final touch, a little ribbon banner cut from a strip of ribbon from That craft place, i also got most of the flowers from there,. 

isn't it a lovely sentiment i thought it fit the picture perfectly

and this it the finished canvas , the lighting on the pic is terrible, so please forgive it i just wanted to show the whole thing complete with sentiment.

so there you go , something a little different from my usual posts for challenges 

hope you like ti 

xx

Hello again lovely peeps

today i bring you a new challenge at 

Glitter n Sparkle

with the theme of 

Add some Leaves

i have 2 cards for you because I'm covering a teamie 

so here is the first 

he is called scarecrow and friends from QKR Stampede

first i printed and coloured him , then thinking along the lines of hes got a bag of corn, i found an image of a cornfield, looking through google images the real photos of cornfields didn't quite fit, then i found this one of a screen shot from a game , the style just seemed right for him and his friends, :)

i mounted it onto a  soft orange, and went around the edge with black marker to just give a bit of interest.

i found some brown gingham ribbon and lay a strip across the bottom, added a beaded twig which reminded me of corn , tied a knot with the gingham on the stalk and then fussy cut and added the image.

and the second

this image is the beautiful Rosalee from Delicious Doodles

for this one i found some really pretty vintage papers, cut to size and layered onto a creamy/beige paper with a very muted pattern, the i went over all the edges with a pro marker using a fine tip and did cross stitches all around each piece.

the image was once again coloured with pro markers and fussy cut, then mounted with sticky pads onto the oval mat, i then found some leaves in My craft Studio printed them out in a couple of sizes and fussy cut, then arranged on the card and finished with a couple of flowers.

so there you have my 2 cards i hope they give you a bit of inspiration and you come play along 

this weeks sponsors this week are

Delicious Doodles offering 4 images from the store

QKR Stampede offering 5 images from their store

Lacey Sunshine offering 3 images from their store

&

Di's Digi Downloads offering a $12 gift certificate

Snowman jack comes to visit , Visible image stamps

Happy Saturday !

Visible Image Day 

and today's make is a lovely Christmas tree hanger using 

Snowman Jack

isn't he adorable!

i started by stamping him onto card, then i covered him in dries clear glue and glamour dust

next i took some paper clay, rolled it out and stamped all the bits i wanted like his arms scarf, buttons and eyebrows, then left them to dry out ( make sure you squish the bits a little because they will shrink up as they dry, its not much and once you stick them to the card base you can trim any bit that poke out).

once dry i used pro markers to colour each bit then stuck them on with collall tacky glue.

i stamped his hat again onto card and coloured with pro markers, then i shaped it a bit and added the hanging cord behind the had so it is sandwiched between the base and top hat.

this shows a little of the dimension

to finish i covered the back in some lovely Christmas paper 

hope you like it guys and have a go yourself, you could make a whole set as a little gift for someone .
