Just Got To Share.....

On Saturday I popped over to Coleman's Craft Warehouse in Rushden as Nikky Hall was doing a demo for P.A.B they are the fab company behind Graph'its and pan pastels which before today I hadn't tried.

Oh my all I can say is O.M.G you have to try METALLIC PAN PASTELS, I've been playing (sorry crafting) all afternoon with them and Nikky was right. I couldn't stop lol. So I shall start by showing you the 2 bits of embossed card I used.

I rubbed the card stock over with a sticky embossing pad and then started to add the pan pastels I think I used every colour lol and as Nikky had advised buffed it with a soft cloth. I then added a little bit of silver at the end just to make it 'pop'. Just look at the difference, don't they look fab? I just adore them

I then decided to take it further and turn everything else metallic too lol and ended up with this creation. It's for a friend on twitter and Facebook so I've just got to hope she doesn't spot it but if she does...sorry Viv I couldnt wait to share x

Seriously guys you need to try these!

Fairy Time

Its challenge time again over at Polkadoodles. This week I opted to use the gorgeous Sugarplum Daisy CD Rom. I printed off a few digis to make up my picture and coloured them in with my Graph it markers. The backing paper and cute tickets also come from the same CD. I inked up a doily to add a lacy edge, a leafy die cut & a flower from my crafty stash completes this bold design.

 Many thanks for popping by. Why not join in with this weeks challenge.

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. 

Thanks for stopping by!

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
