Knowledge

Here is card for a man I created this morning, no particular challenge in mind for this one. The main image is from Fashion Boutique CD by Joanna Sheen, as is the newsprint backing paper. The brown behind that is a scrap from my stash. My main image is mounted on a nestie. The sentiment stamp is on a block I bought from Stamp Addicts (useful stamp this). The twine is also from my stash (it was much paler but I darkened it with vintage photo DI. The card candy is also from my stash. Thanks for dropping by. I am trying to be a better blogger so I hope you will feel the need to drop by more often now. Bye for now. Wanda. xxx

Tie a Yellow Ribbon

Rainbows Lady's Challenge #145 - Tie a Yellow Ribbon

What am I like? No posts for ages then two in one day. The card above is my entry to Rainbow Lady's challenge this week, where the theme is "Tie a Yellow Ribbon". I forgot to check, but I think the main image is from a stamp sheet by Creative Expressions. The main panel has been cut with a nestie, as has the panel immediately behind the main image. the larger panel has been embossed with a big dots folder, the I have lightly gone over it, and the the edges of the two other panels with DI, the palest blue. My main image has been coloured with copic markers. The yellow ribbon is from my stash.

Thanks for dropping by. Your comments are, as always, greatly appreciated.

Bye for now.

Haute Couture

TIO #73 - Haute Couture

The challenge over on Dragon's Dream challenge blog this week is Haute Couture. I was determined to get back to challenges after a long absence. But life just got in the way!

Anyway, here is my entry. Sorry, it's been so long, I forgot to crop it! The stamps are from a sewing plate by Creative Expressions. The flowers I made using Marianne dies, leaves created using a punch, pearls and beaded twine from my stash.

Bye for now. Comments always welcome.

All Loved Up

It's all About Love

This is the theme for the challenge 139 over on Rainbow Lady's challenge this week. The hearts and "love" have been cut using my cricut, cartridges "Beyond Birthdays" and "Wedding". Two very useful cartridges to have. The backing paper is by My Minds Eye. The white card at the top has been embossed using the cuttlebug and dots folder. The ribbon and gems are from my stash.

Now on to my next challenge entry. (get me, two in one day!)

Swirls & Pearls

Challenge 139 over on The CD Sunday challenge is swirls and pearls. It is a while since I have taken part in this challenge, or any challenge for that matter, but I am trying to turn over a new leaf and spend a bit more time in my craft room now that christmas and holiday are out of the way.

The main image used here is from Joanna Sheen's Fashion Boutique CD (I just love the images and backing papers). My backing paper is from My Minds Eye, I forget the range. The swirls are courtesy of Sizzix and TH. The pearls are from my stash, as is the ribbon. Oh, and I have used a MS border punch and ribbon from my stash (a bargain from Abakhan, a whole reel for £2.50 in a sale there).

Thanks for dropping by and taking a look.

Bye for now.

Time to Tag

Dragon's Dream TIO #67 - Time to Tag

I've been a naughty blogger, as I haven't posted for ages. So many things have happened since I was last here, including a lovely holiday cruising the around The Canaries and Madeira. Anyway, I'm back now and trying to be a better blogger!

Enough of that, here is my entry for the challenge over on Dragon's Dream TIO this week.

I actually bought the stamps and little clock faces some months ago from The Stamp Man so that I could alter a frame and make it into a clock. Needless to say, I haven't done that yet either!

I have used wild honey DI and one of Sheena's WOW powders from the newest Spring range and a chipboard letter "T" and some strands of wool from my stash.

It has been lovely to be back tagging again! Keep em coming Frankie!

Bye for now. And thanks for dropping by.

Has He Been Yet?

Rainbow Lady's Challenge #125 - Make a Picture

Talk about last minute! I was determined to give this one a go, but left it so late that it had to be a christmas card, as that is what I have been making these past two days. Not quite in the spirit of the thing, I know, as all I have done is add santa with his sleigh and reindeers, a moon and a star, and coloured it in. But I just ran out of time!

The roof top, santa and his reindeer and the star are all from Sheena Douglass. The greeting is from Clarity. I have coloured the rooftops with copic markers, and the sky with distress inks in various shades of blue using colour dusters, having first masked the moon. The embossing powders are all from Sheena's new WOW range. Lastly, I have used a new Martha Steward punch for the icicles.

Thanks for stopping by. All comments gratefully received.

Lavinia Stamps

I had a bit of a play yesterday with the vine and flower stamps from Lavinia Stamps and various Adirondack Dye ink pads. As the two cards are virtually the same I thought I may as well post both at the same time. Finished off with a couple of bits of coordinating ribbon and a few gems.

Nothing else to say about them really. Good fun to make though.

Thanks for looking. comments always welcome.
