RIBBONS AND BOWS

Well Gid'day everyone.

I can't believe I haven't posted a card on my blog since October last year. It has been an awful time trying to motivate myself to get back into my card making again. I have had a long break, but hopefully I can produce some lovely cards for you all to see again.

I have been trying to catch up with all the new digi stamps that have come out lately, and have chosen this "Jeremiah Ketner " stamp to start with. She is called " ribbons and bows " and you can find her HERE  at the etsy shop.

I have used distress inks done on Derwent watercolour paper.

Papers I used are from Wild Rose Studio called " antique library "

Frame is a new Marianne set no LR0376 I have distressed it with ink before I took it from the frame.

Lots of gorgeous flowers from wild orchid crafts.

Colours I have used for her were,

Vintage photo for skin, antique lines and walnut for hair, and spun sugar, victorian velvet for the bows.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit here and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Please feel free to leave me some comments, I love to know someone has been here.

Till next time Big Hugz xxxx

EVERY GIRL NEED'S A LITTLE BLACK DRESS, RIGHT !!

I was thinking that this beautiful girl needs to be in a black dress, so here she is.

 

 

 

I have done her in Prisma pencils although I have used Polychromo;s on her hair , as you are able to get a better point on the poly,s for finer streaks.

 

 

 

Papers were called " little black dress" by Basic Grey.

 

I put lots of frantage on this one .

 

 

Here's a little close up , as the rose trim at the bottom didn't show up that well and it looks so lovely.

Sentiment is from Whimsy , that I have embossed with gold.  

 

Colours used for her hair were in the poly's

Black,Sepia,dark grey and a little nougat.

IT'S A BREEZE !!

Hi blogland peeps.

 

 

I wanted to do something a little different for a change .

The Saturated Canary stamp is a rubber one that you can get from Little Darlings.

 

 

She is called " Breeze "

 

I have coloured her with Polychromo's on watercolour paper. This worked very well and allowed me to give layers and depth of colour.

 

 

 

I made the little envelope with a template from Michelle R design.

As for the card it self I used a Grand Spellbinders die Scalloped Ovals , that I drew around and just cut out by hand..

The sentiment from Whimsy.
