DT Card and New Romantic Release

I want to share with you my latest DT card for digi image site Bee Crafty. I've used the 'heart garden' design which has only been released for sale today...and soo reasonably priced!

I've stamped a piece of acetate with the word valentine (using elzybells hybrid ink) and made it form one half of the front of the card. It was difficult to get a pic that would show it up, hence the 2nd pic below. I've coloured the image with polychromo pencils, blended with sansador and added a stickles to some of the hearts. The papers are all Magnolia and the kraft (100% recycled) card is from elzybells.

Thanks for visiting today!

Sparkly Challenge DT Card

It[s time for another challenge! This fortnight's challenge on the Bee-Crafty blog has a 'sparkly' theme. Now, what girl doesn't like a bit of sparkle?!

I've used the Penguin Pair image (soo cute!) which is available to download from the blog here and made an easel card. I'm so in love with the Magnolia papers so have used the blue plaid patterned paper again and I've made some more handmade patterned paper using the waste of a punched XCut snowflake. The blue paper that I've matted it onto is, again, just an inked up piece of white paper (see last post for another sample).  Below is a picture of the card when folded flat..

and...ta daa! This is it once opened up. I'm a tad annoyed that the lack of daylight yesterday means the blinking sparkly bits I've added are not fully showing :o( I edged the my card and my punched snowflakes with stickles and sprayed with glimmer mist.

Rundown of Materials used:

XCut Snowflake Punch, Powder Blue Versamagic Chalk Inkpad, Papermania Ribbon, Baby Blue Glass Dew Drops, Stickles by Ranger, Blue Plaid Paper by Magnolia, Alphabet Clear Stamps by Doodlebug Inc, Sewing Machine, Polychromo Pencils blended with Sansador, 3d Sticky foam Pads, Threading Water Border Punch by Fiskars, Silver Candy Dots by Craftwork Cards

Right, I must get back to some cleaning :o( otherwise I'll never get out this afternoon! Oh, and dont forget to enter the challenge!

Thanks for visiting!

Bee Crafty 'Summer Fun' Challenge

Hiya!
Feeling kinda happy today as went to see the new Harry Potter Film at the cinema with my older sis and her husband; left Adam and Ty at home as Adam really not a Potter fan and Ty far too young (not that he thinks that though lol). It was brilliant but I jumped a couple of times as bit scary (I am a teeny bit sensitive).
Had a fair bit going on in last couple of weeks, hence lack of cardmaking and inspiration in this, my DT project for Bee-crafty.blogspot.com. Not 100% happy with this card as if had more time would have added more detail.

Best Wishes
Trix

Sneaky Peek!

Hello all! Sorry for being a little absent of late. I have been finding the trek into London each day for work so tiring and the days so long that I just haven't had the energy or time to create any new projects :o(.

However, I had a day off today for an interview locally.......and I got the job! Woohoo!! :o) Got so excited I think I text most of my contacts stored in my mobile lol!

Also, I thought I'd attach a sneaky peek at my first DT member project for bee-crafty that I've been working on for a little while -just snatching any little free time. Full piccys and details will be posted on Saturday so if you'd like to see more, feel free to pop back for looky.

Hoping you all stay 'cool' for the rest of the week!

Evening Peeps,

Had a good few days off? I don't know what the weather has been like in your part of the country today but down here in Essex it's been pants compared with the rest of the weekend! Had planned on sunning my (quite wintersome pale) self on the beach today but the sun just didn't want to shine. Instead, Adam (my bf) and I went out for a drive and I found (by chance) a little craft and art centre in one of the villages we passed through, so of course we had to stop and pay a visit. In amongst the paintings and local craftwares for sale I found these cute stamps made by 'personal impressions' and they only cost £4.60 for the set:

Whilst posting I thought I'd show you this wedding card I made this week for Adam's cousin. I used one of my new downloaded images from www.bee-crafty.blogspot.com . A real steal at the £1.75 intro rate for a set of 3 wedding themed images.

I have only just started using polychromo pencils so my colouring of the images is not as great as it could be (anyone know of any tips for using these pencils???) printing on textured card didn't help matters though! Silly me. :o(

Materials:::

Papers: Pink paper - PM Sweet Nothings pack, Hearts Paper - Doodlebug Inc.,

Stamps: Wedding Couple - download from www.bee-crafty.blogspot.com, sentiment - www.Impression-Obsession.com,

Inks: Versamagic Chalk Ink 'pixie dust'. Whispers inkpad 'black'

Embellishments: PM and Prima flowers, Ribbons - from stash


Ta ra for now..
