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

613 Avenue Create Card

Hiya,for this months challenge card I have used an Inky Impressions image,been along time since I was on their team..This is actualy an mage I have used once before but I liked it so as it was in my file I decided to use it again..I have coloured her with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card,This was then cut and mounted onto Mirror card as was the papers that I used for the background..These are from one of the Christmas cds from Polkadoodlesone of the resent ones with the little girl on..,I have not got these colour ways in my paper pads and as I had printed these before I got ill a few weeks ago I thought I would use them on this card...I love Nicky's cd so full of fabulous crafting goodies,sadly just had no real time to do any but one which I have coloured ,but not carded yet..sorry I digress..I wanted the colours on both the image strong and bold ,and to  finished the card I went  with a beautiful bright red spotted ribbon and added some faux pearl snowflakes  and a sentiment which was also mounted on gold Mirror card..
Thank you for visiting :)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
