BOO!

Hi everyone, I thought I'd pop in and share what I've been up to over the last few days. As most of you know I'm on the Polkadoodles DT well the very talented Nikky Hall has a fab new digi set available for download on her website its approaching the spookiest night of the year..................So time for some fun!

I've made a card and covered a box ready for those pesky trick or treaters

My very clever son is also worth a mention here as he received his A level results last week and got a 'B' in Photography so I asked him to take a couple of pics for me to upload to my blog.

The box shows off one of the wonderful backing papers available in the download bundle and the lid, I coloured in a digi bat and used a die to cut out the inked sentiment.

The card was where I really had fun. I started by printing off one of the lush downloadable backing papers I added a couple of sticky cobwebs to the corners before printing, which I later embossed to add a bit of texture & sparkle. I inked the edges and matted and layered onto some contrasting card stock which I roughed up a little with my scissors and an emery board. Then added that to my inked A5 card blank. I love colouring and used a combination of Graph It Markers and Spectrum Noir's to colour my two digi stamps. I took the 'Spooky' sentiment into my Silhouette Cameo to cut out and off set it with a contrasting colour.

I'd like to enter this in the Graph'it Red Hair Challenge

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas is Coming

I thought I'd best make a start on my Christmas cards 4 clean & simple A6 cards using the new a4 embossalicious snowflake folder, sprayed with spray & sparkle matted onto some mirror board. The snowflake dies are tattered lace by Stephanie Weightman. All finished off with a typed sentiment which I used with a double sided sheet, cut with labels 4 spellbinder die and dipped in micro beads for a bit of texture.

Let it Fly

This weeks challenge over at Polkadoodles Blog is up and running so why not fly over and take a look at all the fabulous DT samples and join in!

Candy Christmas

I thought I would try and combine a gorgeous digi from Angelberry Christmas Cd with my new Graph It markers. Oh boy these pens are so comfortable to hold and they are so juicy!! I just love them and can't wait to increase my collection.

I used the following pens for my image...

skin - 4110, 4115, 4125

hair - 3245, 3255, 3280

head dress - 7125, 7130, 8250, 5245 

dress - 5115, 5125

wings - 0000, 5115

The backing paper & sentiment were also from the Cd, I blinged up the paper with some gemstones, added a couple of die cut poinsettas and a couple flourishes.

I wish to enter this card into the Graph It Challenge

Angelberry Christmas

Nikky Hall is launching a brand new CD Angelberry Christmas at Summer Crafting this weekend so I thought I would take this opportunity to share a couple of my samples with you.

I really can't wait to get get colouring more of these gorgeous angels especially as this morning I took delivery of my first few sets of Graph It alcohol markers.

Summer's Here

Okay that maybe a slight exaggeration but I'm warmer than I've been for a few weeks and with the delivery of the Bonbon Belles CD Rom its brightened my last few days up. Here are a couple of cards I've made using the afore mentioned disc.

You can't have a beach scene without beach huts can you? I printed out all the elements from the cd to create this DL easel card and added a couple of starfish I had in my crafty stash. I would like to enter this card into Celebrate Summer over at Jellypark

There is such variety of both coloured and bw digis as well as papers, cutting files & sentiments. Real value for money!
