It's Your Day!

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

I started ny dusting a piece of Heat Emboss Acetate with an Anti-Static Bag. I stamped the image and the sentiment from the Woodware Five in a Row Stamp Set using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS True White Detail Embossing Powder. Working on the back, I started to colour in. I used a mix of Pixie Powder and CS Clear Varnish Lacquer. I used Golden Mint, Burnt Orange, Plum Twist and Mango Blaze. I added CS Frosty Dawn Diamond Frost to the Mango Blaze Sections. I managed to colour it all in one session as I was pushed for time but I would not usuall do this - I would wait for each section to dry before doing the next. Also, make sure you put it to dry on a level surface - mine wasn't quite level and the Burnt Orange and Mango Blaze sections merged a little but I'm ok with that.

I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Double Piereced Rectangles and Double Pierced Rectangles Set B. Once my image was dry, I added my frame using 2mm 3D Foam Tape.

I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card with the Creative Expressions Raindrops 8 x 8 Embossing Folder. I added my framed piece using 1mm 3D Foam Tape.

I completed my card by matting onto a couple of pieces of Coconut White Card.

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I used Natural Sponges to add CS Chalk Clouds in Toasted Rose, Blue Lagoon and Sweet Violet over a piece of Coconut White Card. I cut it our using a die from Sue Wilson's Essential Rectangles DieSet and inked around the edges with Toasted Rose Chalk Cloud using a Smoothie.

I stamped the sentiment from the Woodware Vintage Inspiration Stamp Set using Onyx Black Versafine Ink.

I matted onto Black Card and popped onto a Coconut White Card blank.

I added Toasted Rose Chalk Cloud onto a Pop-em from the Arty Hearts Set by pouncing the ink onto it using a Smoothie. Once dry, I added Sweet Violet Chalk Cloud, pouncing through a section of the Celtic Vine Mask using a Smoothie. I made some flowers out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Sweet Williams Die Set, adding a little Toasted Rose and Sweet Violet Chalk Cloud.

I completed my card by adding some White Pearls to the centres of my flowers and to each corner of my background.

Congrats

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Creative Expressions Floral Stripes Embossing Folder. I needed to run the card through with the folder a second time to extend the design as the stripes would have been going across the card which I did not want on this occasion. I matted onto another piece of Coconut White Card, then Midnight Blue Pearl Card and then Coconut White Card.

I cut the outer die of one of the corner dies from Sue Wilson's Indonesian Border and Corners Die Set out of Midnight Blue Card four times. I both dies from the same corner set out of Coconut White Card 4 times and glued the pieces together. I added a 5mm White Pearl to each of the corner pieces.

I cut die #4 from Sue's Bali Die Set out of Midnight Blue Pearl Card. I cut dies #3 and #4 together from the same set out of Coconut White Card. I glued the 2 die cuts together. I cut die #2 from the same setout of Coconut White Card. I dusted with an Anti-Static Bag and stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Petite Lavish Sentiments Stamp Set using Clear Perfect Medium. I added CS Denim Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder and heat set.

I chose one of the handbags from Sue's Vintage Handbags Die Set. I cut the outside die out of Midnight Blue Pearl Card and both the dies out of Coconut White Card. I did not put a handle on this one. I added 3mm White Pearls to the cross sections on the design and a 5mm White Pearl to the centre of the flower design on the handbag.

The brand new Christmas release of Woodware Stamps were launched yesterday. I've ordered them already and I expect they'll be delivered tomorrow. You can see/order them here in the Christmas Section of my website. There's some lovely designs in there.

Inspire

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

The background on this one was created by mopping up all the excess ink on my Craft Sheet from previous Chalk Cloud projects onto a piece of Coconut White Card. I used the main colours on my background for my stamping and embellishments. I trimmed my background piece and inked around the edges with Toasted Rose CS Chalk Cloud using a Smoothie. I matted onto Black Card and then onto Coconut White Card.

I stamped the Woodware Vintage Fabric Stamp onto Coconut White Card using Blue Lagoon Chalk Cloud applying the ink to the stamp via a Smoothie. I tore around the edges and then inked with Sweet Apple Chalk Cloud.

I stamped the eye from the Woodware Eyes Stamp Set using Toasted Rose Chalk Cloud.

I stamped the INSPIRE test from the Woodware Vintage Inspiration Stamp Set, again using Toasted Rose. I tore around the eye and the sentiment using my Tim Holz Ruler to get a more even tear and then inked around the edges with Sweet Apple. I stamped the 'Always try to' from the Vintage Inspiration Stamp Set using Onyx Black Versafine Ink.

I covered 2 of the flourishes on the Flourishes Pop-ems sheet with a thin coat of White CS Gesso. I popped them out and then covered with Sweet Apple CS Chalk Cloud by pouncing on with my Smoothie to get a good coverage. I inked up the Woodware Crazy Mosaic Background with Toasted Rose Chalk Cloud and stamped onto the flourishes.

I made a couple of flowers out of more of my mopped up ink background and Black Card using Sue Wilson's Succulent Garden and Sweet Williams Die Sets. I added a little Toasted Rose Chalk Cloud to the tips of the petals and a 5mm Black Pearl to the centres.

I completed my card by adding a Small Black Circle Dazzler to each corner of my background.

Imagination

Hi Bloggers.

Had a fab day yesterday - see below for the photos of all the statues our group made.

Here's today's card -

This card was created using the little stamps from the same set as yesterday's card. I used a little Coconut White Card blank. I stamped the little stamps from the Woodware Fresh as a Daisy Stamp Set directly onto the front of the card with CS Colour Clouds, applying the ink using Smoothies. I used Decadent Wine, Decadent Denim, Decadent Teal, Decadent Bamboo and Plum Cobbler.

I completed my card by stamping the sentiment from the Woodware Imagine Verse Stamp Set using Onyx Black Versafine Ink.

Had a brilliant day at the workshops yesterday. Here's the pics of the Powertex statues -
