I then added some odd bits of paper i had lying around added three strips of orange ribbon for a bit of contrast and just to be different.

I coloured the edges with Brilliance pearlescent orange ink pad and mounted onto card using Dawn Bibby foam backed squares.

I then used two triple scalloped borders on the top and bottom by Dienamics using a paper pad called Hop Scotch.

I then finished off with a light orange pearls.

Last but not least i added three leaves from Forever Flowers and added three yellow ceramic flowers.

Well i hope you find my effort this fortnight inspiring and look forward to seeing lots of entries over the next two weeks.

Non traditional wedding coloured dress

Creative Creations Challenges.

This weeks challenge is Weddings! What does a  wedding meant to you? well besides the opportunity to dress up for a change and let my hair down to me it always means the commitment of two people who want to show to their friends and family that they want to move forward with their lives by taking the next step!

These  days people go for all sorts of colours with their gowns so i went non traditional by making a card showing a pink dress.

So i have a Saturated Canary digi called wedding bells which i think is totally gorgeous!




I had to be a little different and go non traditional with the colours

I used the following Copics to colour her in:

Hair YR 21,23,24,27
Skin E01, 00, 000 and R20 for cheeks
Dress RV 11,13,14,17
Flowers YG 93,95,97,YR02,00

I edged her with Tim Holtz distress pad in spun sugar and mounted onto some leftover homemade pink  card that i made using Brilliance pearlescent ink pads in Orchid and Purple and then sprayed Cosmic shimmer mist in Tarnished gold and Candy pink. I then mounted onto foiled card, handmade paper laced with gold thread and finally onto a pink sheet of script paper.
A congratulations sentiment,some sprigs of pearls that i so totally love, fabric flowers and three pink flat backed pearls!
Oh, and last but not least i added a little sparkle to the dress using crystal stickles.

Phew that was a bit of a list :-)

I hope you like my creation for DT inspiration!

Best wishes

Anything Goes at creative Creations Challanges

Good Morning!

I hope you have had a wonderful Easter weekend and had a lovely weekend!

This fortnight we are sponsored by the lovely Betty Roberts of Simply Betty

Today i am going to share with you my card for a friend.  It been a confusing time over at CCC one minute it is anything goes and then it changes to Easter so seeing as i have had a chest infection i have not had time to come up with anything new, i have stuck with the anything goes theme and unfortunately i have not been able to show you an image of Betty's for that reason....her work it absolutely fabulous and it is well worth having a look at here site there is always something to tempt you!

Wisely or not i decided to try using Promarkers for this challenge and although they were ok i have to say i am a Copic girl all the way!

Ok so Promarkers colours used are:

Dress Lipstick Red,Poppy,Ruby

Skin Satin,Ivory and Pale Pink for the cheeks

Butterflies Honeycomb, bright orange and mustard

Hair caramel, sandstone, cinnamon and henna

gloves soft peach and sunkissed pink

Although i am happy with the card i feel the colouring would have come out better if i had stuck to my trusted Copics, especially where the hair colours were concerned.... but we have to push our boundaries on occasions dont we?

I used Teresa Collins Sprin Fling 6x6 paper pad

Kraft card

cream lace

sentiment stamp

mulberry flowers and a spellbinder nestabilities in floral ovals 

The  digi image is Saturated Canary Butterflies.

I hope you like my card and am entering it into the following challenges:

Two Hearts

Hi there i hope you are having a great day! i know i am or rather will be!

Have you ever started a project with a picture in your head of the finished project just so? well that how it started for me until i was hijacked!

The two hearts started off as two wooden hearts and i gave them two coats of coarse modelling paste, a spritz of cosmic shimmer in Pearl Mist, that gave them a lovely gentle sheen and then gently distressed them with gold versa mark ink.

I then used a couple of flower dies to make up paper flowers with a pearl center on both of them and added a ribbon rose at the bottom of each heart...now this is where i was hijacked by a young person whom i wont mention (bless him) who decided that rather than put Tilda on one heart and Edwin on the other he thought it would be much better with butterflies!  Yes you got it, butterflies!!

So there we go i have my creations but now as i thought they were likely to turn out......but i have to admit they do look kinda cute and now have pride of place on my bedroom wall.....after all who can resist a 6 year old who wanted to help his mum?

Hope you have a lovely day and dont forget to let your kids help you create too!

Walking stick with style....

Hi there everyone i would like to say what a gorgeous sunny morning it is but i would be telling a darn great big fib.....it is puring with rainn. YET AGAIN!

I have a very good friend who at the age of 46 found the necessity of having to use a walking stick!  I guess you can imagine what she had to say about that? Now way,no how....so......

Any way i made her a SPECIAL stick where i used three pages of paper in her favorite colours by My Minds Eye Lost and Found 2, ripped them to bits and then mod podged with three coats to make it really hard wearing.

In all truth and honesty i didn't think she would go for it, as she is a very independent person so i was pleasantly surprised to see her using it around town a week later!  I now have to do another three in brown, blue and green to match with different types of her clothing so i did get it right!

Now i just have to find another three sticks in the same design that wont cost the earth :-)

Thanks for joining me and i hope you enjoy your wet soggy Sunday afternoon.

Box

I started by painting and alterable box in blue Croco paint ( goes like crackled weathered paint) around the sides.

I then used K&CO speciality papers to cover the front and back of the box.

I added a Marianne Creatable LR0336 die and then added the Zella digi from Saturated Canary.  I then stuck on some rhinestones before giving the whole thing two coats of mod podge to protect it.

After drying i then added blue ribbon around the outside and a pearl string which i then finished off with a blue bow....i stuck everything down with red strong double sided adhesive roll.

Last by no means least  i added a small spray of blue and white flowers to the top right corner

I used the following copics to colour Zella:

Dress BG05 BG02 G01

Skin E21 E00 E000 R20

Hair E31 E33 E37 E39
