Morgans Artworld. ..Febuary Release

Hiya,this is my New release card and My fella's Valentines card too ..Does not need words on the front ,it says it all lol..I have coloured the beautiful image in using Polychromos pencils onto Neenah card,I then cut it out using one of the Mandella type Dies from Tonic,I think it was something Bramble,sorry I have had it ages and is stored on a magnetic sheet,..The main backing paper and the one inside are from First Editions Love Letters, and the pretty green smaller piece behind the image is from a Prima pad I had in a magazine a while back called Botanical Collection,which has a lovely grungy border around it and looks fab with the image..All the papers were matted onto Craft card..To finish I just added two hearts sparkly hearts in opposite corners..It is a simple card ,but it does not really need a lot as the image and the die are the main focus..Now to find a nice verse for the inside Thank you for popping by :)xx

DIGI..
Please note ..Mine has the banner ,the one in the shop has not  but it is included in the bundle ...so I popped in a  Happy Birthday from my pc...
I have used a 8x8 card blank and coloured the lovely digi with both touch five pens and Polychromos Pencils,onto Neenah card ..I then used the new Desert Rose set from Tattered Lace ,the basic dies to cut it out..I coloured and squiggled around the edge to give it a border..The doily part of the set I cut in a pale turquoise ,and mounted it onto warm yellow..colours I brought out of the image..I fussycut around the edge as I wanted it a bit softer than a die cut and added half one side of the topper and one the other..Its subtle but very pretty ,and I did not really want it to shout out..I then added some shop brought flowers to both sides to finish

613 Avenue Create Card

Hiya..To be honest I worried myself silly about this card and tried several attempts which ended in the bin and well.. I just could not think what to do apart from the sentiment..I cannot stamp due to the arthritis in my fingers so I was a bit stumped ..This is what I came up with in the end..
I cut a piece of water colour card to fit my card blank with an allowance for the mat..Then I cut out the middle size Tattered Lace Desert Rose flower and with a small stencil brush I added the water colour from the pens..First I scribbled it onto a glass mat which allowed me to pick up with the brush ..I used Rose, Pink,Sunflower and Sunset..I did not clean the brush between the colours as I did not want a defined difference in colour ..I am surprised at my first attempt how cool this looks as it is something I would never have thought of doing anything like this before so who knows what you will see next lol!.. I may even get some stencils next ..To finish the card I added the pre ..cut flower which I coloured orange ..I wanted the sentiment black but the rest of the card bright and sunny..I just love this sentiment ..It says so much ..Thank you for popping by :) xx

Sasayaki Glitter New Challenge Card

Hiya todays new card is for this month's challenge of the colour RED..I have used Touch Five pens and finished with Polychromos Pencils to colour in the lovely image of Lucy..I then used a Tattered lace Scalloped stitched Basic die set to cut out the image and the craft card base behind it..The papers I have used are from Tonics paper pad Folksy Florals and as these are the closest to reds that I have in papers ..I chose to use red accents in the background layers,all these were then mounted onto craft card...The flowers were cut from a Flower Punch from Hobbycraft I brought some years ago and I coloured them red to suit the card with my Pens ,Once done I then added little pretty white resin flowers with a pink center to finish..Once I glued down the papers to my 8x8 card blank I then added the topper with 3D glue Gel and added some Tuck -in Butterflies from Tattered Lace just under the edge to add a little texture and interest..I then glued on the flowers and leaves( also from a punch) and added a few red heart gem in alternate corners..Thank you for visiting :)xx

Sasayaki Glitter New Release

Hiya..Todays card is using this lovely image that I have coloured in Touch five Pens and finished with Polychromos Pencils..I know it is a bit unusual for me ,but my poor hands are suffering and the pens are a little gentler to colour with,...Sadly I am not much a Pen Colourist and have to finish in pencils which I know best... I have cut it out and added it to a craft card mat..The backing papers are from my tonic paper pads I have used the background one from the Folksy Florals one ,sadly not sure which the other two are from as they are from a part pad with no cover ,but they are still Tonic ones..These were also mounted onto craft card too and arranged on my 8x8 card blank..The topper was added with 3D glue gel ..The flowers also from Tonic are called Starburst Gazania..The bottom layer coloured to complement the card and I left the top white as you can see..I love the whole set of these flowers they really make a great feature on a card and complements the topper to as it adds to the fun theme of the card..I finished the card by adding faux peals in two different designs to the smaller and larger flowers..Thank you for Popping by :) xx

Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Reminder Card

Hiya..For the challenge reminder card ,I have coloured the lovely Mia in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card,I then cut her out leaving a small white outline around her to help her pop off the background paper..The papers I have used are from Crafter's Companion English Country Garden Paper pas ..The die cut for the Aperture and clothes are from China so name unknown ,but ideal for this card..I hand coloured all the accessories..Pens GRRRR!!! the tops show PINK and they come out orange ,my light in the front room is not that great and it was not until they were all done that I tried them under the White light by the pc that I found out..However you go in shops and their designs dont always match your clothes..In fact I think it has given a pretty pop of contrasting colour to the card..The papers were mounted onto craft card ,and the pretty flowers were punched using a punch from Hobbycraft I have had for a while ,as were the leaves..To finish I added some pretty faux multy pearls which make a nice center for the flowers ..Thank you for visiting :)xx

Sasayaki Glitter New Release

Hiya..I made this card base a few weeks ago and never used it.. Found it tonight and it just suited this cute image and what I wanted to do with it so much.. I finally got to use it ,so waste not ,hording craft stuff is very important!!! ,everything can be used lol!..
The lovely image is coloured using Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card,It was then cut out using a stitched stamp die ,then mounted onto gold card,cut straight then Centura Pearl in Pink..The flower has been cut from the Centura Pink card too using a Tonic Gerber Die..I just love these dies the whole set really makes a statement if using just one or as a group...I have on this occasion left it so there is no backing on the flower to keep it looking soft and light ,In the center I have places a vintage button to which I have placed a new sparkling blue gem ,this picks the blue out of the wings,and off the sprinkles on the cake..The backing card is from Kanban and is white with silver overprinted and picks the light up as you move past it ,but more softly than if it was all silver..To finish ,I added three pink gems to the bottom corner just to add a bit more sparkle ..I am very pleased with the colours they have worked lovely together on this card so pretty,making it look lovely and fresh ..Thanks for popping by :)xx

Morgan Fitszimmons Artworld New Release card

Hiya..For today's New release I have chosen to do this beautiful image,I have coloured her in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..This I then cut our and mounted onto some dark green mirror card..For the card base I have used Tonic Essentials Ribbon and Bows Layering dies,these I have backed each one with the dark green mirror card which just glints through the gaps in the die cut edges of the white layers..I chose to do this ,as the inspiration came from looking at some of the old bowls and plated that had the latice edges and this image when it was finished suited the style so well,I think so anyway..It looks nice on her but in real it is so stunning ,Being held by a Plastic plate holder at the moment as I still need to make the card holder for it ..The flowers ..I kept very simple ,hand coloured as well as the leaves to get the right shade I wanted ,these were both cut from dies I brought from Ebay and are from Hong Kong.. so have no makers name with them ..,so those who are thinking of buying them and are a bit worried ,don't be ,dies are expensive ,especially when you first start out and it helps to build your stash up without having to break the bank..They cut fine and have not had any problems with mine..To finish I added a few cream flat back pearls..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Late DT card for 613 Avenue..Floral Shoe



Hiya..I checked what was our project earlier and it seemed a creative piece,so I have not coloured ,but have made a floral 3D shoe for the new challenge that begins today.. For the body I cut out using a Tattered Lace 3D shoe die ..However there are a lot of shoe templates available for free on the internet ,so look around and you will find some really nice ones..I used Santorio Mirabelle paper pad with gloss roses on to construct the shoe with as it is thick and stiff and holds well in 3D work..Once I cut the shoe I folded all the little tabs down ready to stick down..I started with glue but found it not working for me in this case,but the tabs are very small on this die..So instead I used the red high tack red glue ,attached to the base of the shoe then gradually went around sticking the upper part of the shoe to the sole..Then I covered the tags with a bit of pink Centura Pearl so it looks neat underneath as well as giving it extra support..You will probably not have the same problem with the glue it was too fiddly for me to use,as my fingers are stiff and sore from arthritis and for me this is a very rare project ..but I do love creating different things as a change from cards.The flowers and leaves and roses are from some dies I have had from some time and been in my die caddy on magnetic sheets so I do not know the name of them,the smaller flowers are from punches and are just the right size to complement the roses..all these were added with 3D glue gel..Shape your flowers for things like this and for cards ,they look so much more natural looking than just cut out flowers stuck down ,it is what makes the card or project..I have to make a box for it but as I have been up all night I need sleep first ,but I will put the picture on when I have finished ..Thanks for popping by :)xx

Saturday Sketch card Little Miss Muffet

Hiya ,I am back after the Christmas extended break due to being unwell ,what a bad month I hope you have not had the bad colds that have been going around,Just got over a chest infection then caught mine lol ... I never do things by halves ..But feel much better now,and I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas..
For this pretty card I have used a Little Miss Muffet digital stamp ,the link for it is above, I have coloured her on Neenah card using Polychromos pencils,I then cut her out and mounted her onto some lilac Centura Pearl to frame her..The papers I used are from a pad from GCD Melody Ross Design Collection and this pad is the Lydia collection ..very lush, rich ,pretty papers,sadly coming to an end now. You can see by the sketch under the card I have followed the layout ..Was a bit worried about this team to begin with but i find it is quite good fun finding the matching papers to create the sketches and its a change from having to design from scratch..So please do pop over and have a go at the challenge,who knows you could have your card picked out...Thank you for popping by :)xx

Sketch Saturday Card

Hiya I have coloured this super cute little Pixie from A Day for Daisies with PolyChromos Pencils onto Neenah card..She has then been cut out using a Tattered Lace Basic ovals die set.as was the gold frame too...For this team I am on we are given a sketch to design our card with ..It is kind of cool takes all the design work out of it in some ways,but there is still the choice of papers ..I have that many pads its getting so hard to choose now ...It is like shoes ,cannot pass a paper pad hehehe!..This design should have been landscape but the image I had would not have looked nice on that,so I did mine portrait,but used the same design base for the card..I actually enjoy doing these cards ,I was worried at first but need not have been lol..The papers that I have used throughout are from First Edition Vintage Christmas ,Very luxurious and I have taken the picture to shoe the lovely foiling on the card..Its a shame that the photos do not really do justice to this card .All the papers were mounted onto gold Mirror card..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Saturday Inspiration ..Morgans Artworld

Hiya Today I have once more followed the theme of the challenge which is Tag It.. I have created a fairly large tag..This I have coloured with my new Zig Pure Color Water Color Brush pens..My first project I have done,practices had not gone well but this one has for some unknown reason lol..Love the vibrant colours they have .. We often forget the tags,humble as they may seem ,but hoe they can turn that over-sized present into much more..that is where these larger Tatered Lace Basic Tag dies come in..I have layered the image after cutting it out onto some pink simmering card from First Editions floral Pavilion then mounted onto gold Mirror card .. I added another tag this is from Docrafts one of their small dies but extremely handy little die..I backed it with white card so it did not look hollow once I popped it in place and also to help support it ..then I added a pretty red polka dot bow and ribbon to tie it to the gift too ,and to finish I cut two butterflies and shaped them and stuck down with 3D glue gel ,make unknown as I have had these on a magnetic sheet in a box for ages..Thank you for visiting :)xx
