Visible Image March Challenge

Hi guys me again
Boy my blog has been busy the last few days...
Today i bring you the new Challenge at Visible Image Blog....and the theme is Spring, the design team have made amazing samples to get your creativity flowing, you really must go take a look at the blog, you will love them.

OK so i have used Bradley and Emma and i was thinking spring bride.....

I started with a white 8 x 8 card blank, and covered that in some pretty spring blossom decorated paper, around the edges i used my Grunge Flourish stamp, with a glue pad, and then glittered, next i cut the arch on my craft robo, and lots of extra flowers, kept it all white, then coloured the vines in a soft green and the centre of the flowers yellow. i glittered the arch because if you cant have sparkle at a wedding when can you!  next i made a bouquet from a card base covered in ribbon, some glitter to peep thought he blooms, and layers and layers of flowers, to which i added tiny sparkly gems, finishing it with a bow.

Bradley and Emma where stamped and coloured with pro markers, i glittered Emma's gown to look like lace.

Hope you  like it, and will come join in with the challenge,its a lovely theme and will brighten these gray days, look forward to seeing all your fab makes xx

hugs xx

Hello again everyone
Today is new challenge at Sincerely yours Creations blog....Theme..Mothers day!
the design team have done some truly lovely cards for you all to look at and get your creative juices flowing.

Here are mine :)
First up is Daisy girl framed from Dilly Bean Stamps.. isn't she just lovely!

I wanted to keep this one quite simple because the image is so lovely, i coloured her with pro markers, and decoupaged some of the flowers, i chose a lovely paper for the background, the colours are so fresh.. and then i simply added some daisy trim, and a few flat back pearls.

Then for a complete contrast using Visible Image Stamps ...

I started with a piece of card 4'' x 6 '', and covered it in a paper from My Craft studio, i inked around the edges with black soot distress ink, i then went all around the edges with the birds from, Free your Imagination Stamp set, using the top edge of the bird with the splatter pattern in black soot , and then again in fired brick distress inks. i took the body form from The Sewing room Stamp set, stamped it , then scanned it and re sized to fit the Corset Stamp, once that was done i covered the stand in crackle accents, and while that was drying i set to making the corset... first it was stamped onto pretty paper, the i added sexy red lace, and some black cord for the stays and laces.

I added an image from the same My Craft Studio disk to the background after i had cut it out scrunched it up and inked with tea dye distress ink to age it a bit. i added the corset to the bodyform and put on sticky padsto stick to the card, next was a bit of black lace along the top, and some pom pom trim along the bottom, some ribbon and a couple of bows for hanging, and to finish it all off some of my fave flowers from the wonderful Petal Lu...

So what will you create for us?  you could win ..2 fantasic Character stamps from Visible Image Stamps, the beautiful Isabella and the very handsome Edward . And from Dilly Bean Stamps you can chose 3 Images of your choice

hi guys,
today i bring you  a sneaky peek at 2 new disks from Jems Designs launching on Create & craft tomorrow at 9am
 the first one is from Wish upon a Rose

This design is called Laced with love... i thought the colours so rich on this one, (my photography doesn't do them justice) for this one i took an 8 x 8 black base card, and matt the  8 x 8 insert paper onto it, i then cut the heart from the image to make an aperture, then inside i matt the card with one of the backing papers. i cut  the heart image from the disk and lined it up with the aperture and stuck inside the card

the roses and butterfly are decoupaged so that when the card is closed the decoupage peeps through the hole.

my second card is from A Swans song, and its folder 9 on the disk

this is a really lovely project on the disk, its a card and gift box in one!

all the instructions are there on the disk , and really easy to do, i made some note papers to go in mine , then added a chocolate bar which i made a matching wrap for from backing paper and went along the edges with a fancy punch, then finished off with a ribbon.

so there you have my sneaky peeks, hope you like them and will join the lovely Sue from Jems Designs on Thursday morning at 9 on Create & Craft.. the design team have made some amazing cards for your inspiration.

Hi guys, its Saturday so that mean a Visible Image Stamps DT post,
Its another character tag this week, we are almost at the end of the collection,( for now :) )

I did Jake last week so this time its Katie, with her fabulous butterfly's, i love this little girl she is so cheery, even on a dull cold day like today she can make you smile.

I chose bright spring colours for this tag, using a backing paper from k & co that i had in my stash, i used some distress ink around the edges, and went all around the flowers with a white gel pen to give the look of applique, i coloured Katie with pro markers, and her lovely butterfly's which i then covered in stickles for a little shimmery goodness, cut them out and stuck down with sticky pads.

its quite a simple design but i like how it came out , shows Katie off nicely don't you think.

Don't forget the challenge is still running guys pop over to the blog to enter , you could win £10 to spend on the wonderful Visible Image Stamps..

hello everyone,
well first i have to do a massive apology to Helen and Mark at Visible Image Stamps, i missed my Saturday and i realy cannot post! i cannot apologise enough :(
my post is actually another tag, i am almost done with the whole gang so not many more to show you guys , this time i went with Jake one of the new characters now available on the web site.

this guy is so adorable, with his cheeky grin, i used some paper from my stash to cover the tag, then using another sheet i fussy cut the letters out and popped them onto sticky pads to lift them, i went over the backing paper with the Retro dots background stamp, in black soot and fired brick distress inks, coloured Jack with pro markers, fussy cut him out and popped him on sticky pads, then i arranged the letters and Jack to look like hes doing one of those fancy skateboard tricks.

hope you like it guys, so sorry its a day late.
