Simply Fae

Hi

Today I am posting my DT card for the new challenge which starts today at Glitter N Sparkle Challenge Blog theme us a Die/Punch

My Image is the lovely  Fae 9 sponsored by Morgans Artworld

I have used spectrum Noir pens to colour the image, die cut with tattered lace circle which also cuts holes which are perfect for using thread or ribbon through, I have threaded with bakers twine in a vintage taupe, I punched the sentiment with circle punches and coloured the larger one with a spectrum noir pen to match my image.  All the edges were inked with vintage photo distress ink and corners of paper have been rolled back for a slightly shabby look.  Hope you can join in the fun this week.

Springtime

Hi

The weeks are just flying by and here I am again with my DT Inspiration card for the new challenge at Glitter N Sparkle Challenge Blog. 

The challenge this week is Anything Goes and I have been sponsored by one of our Sponsors

Lacy Sunshine and the Digi Image is Emily Spring Blossoms.

I think we are all waiting for spring to appear so I used spring colours for my image and a nice bright die cut front .

I used Spectrum Noir Pens to colour image which I then cut out with a spellbinders die. Patterned paper was attached to card blank which you can just see peeking through.  The front was cut from pink card with a Tattered Lace die, I then slipped the main image behind the lacy pockets/corners. Sentiment was stamped and punched out, edges were inked and lastly I added some spring blossoms.

Winter Stag

Today I am sharing a card I made for A milestone birthday recently celebrated by my DH one he was not very happy with....but he loved his card lol


I used a new stamp to me first time inked from Clarity Stamps and my old favourites distress inks.

Stag was stamped in black versafine ink and I used masking fluid to mask him first then I applied Distress Inks stormy sky, faded jeans and chipped sapphire to create the winter scene behind him, Stag was then filled in with Vintage photo. This was then cut with a circle die, next layer was inked in stormy skies and faded jeans for the background, last layer again card cut with die, tattered lace. Sentiment stamps are Kanban.

Eeeeeeeeeek!!!!!

Hello bloggers hope you are all well and happy in your crafting, once again I have been absent from my blog mainly due to decorating omg! it took ages putting everything back and we just made it before I went down with a really rotten cold......hey ho sure sign winter is around the corner :(

Anyway enough chitty chat and on with my make today which is for A Vintage Journey Challenge 17 - Halloween - To Die For.   Needs to be heavily influenced by Tim, use at least one die and Halloween.
Well I was clapping my hands with delight when I saw the challenge (in between coughing and spluttering with cold.....)  but what better way to make me feel better.

 I have a new (new to me) toy to play with and I love getting inky so all I needed was the cold fuddled brain to kick in. It did eventually and here is what I made.....

My new toy is this fabulous lantern die from Tim  which I have been drooling over for a while and a rummage in my bit box came up with the black spiders web (netting). Black spider was another Tim die cut from black packaging ( I really really don't like spiders eek) I only bought this die because I adore the Candle lol.  The lantern was cut from card which was a light brown and  inked within an inch of its life with vintage photo and black soot distress inks to age and dirty the lantern.  The spiders wove their webs around the lantern even inside and hung about to scare me!!  I cut the word EEK and 31 from Tim Holtz Seasonal Salvage Stickers backed them on black card and stuck them in place.  The Bird is a Tim stamp which I stamped with black soot onto same card as the lantern cut out and then inking all the edges with black soot.  Lastly I placed a light inside. 

Hope you like my make and it is Scary enough for the challenge..........it scares me lol!

I have had a fabulous time playing with my new die and have so many ideas going around in my head for future makes.........just need more crafting time...........

'till next time
