Just in Time

Just in time for Just Add Ink Challenge #27.

 

Here is this Week's Sketch, and here is my interpretation.

 

I have used Pink Flamingo DSP, Soft Suede and Real Red Cardstock.

The word Cherish is from Warm Words Stamp Set, which I have embossed.

 

I applied Crystal effects to the squares of DSP, when it was dry I bent them to it cracked glass effect.

Raspberry Tart Handbag

I have made another Handbag with Note Cards for the Thank You Gift and Door Prize for a workshop yesterday.

 I have used Raspberry Tart DSP, Kiwi Kiss and Melon Mambo Cardstock.

These colours look great together, Love it.

I will miss Kiwi Kiss Cardstock, if you will too and need to stock up on it contact me to order yours today.

I made the note cards very simple this time, just showing off the DSP.

This was well recieved and loved by all who attended.

Lovely as Trees Christmas

I have made my first Christmas card tonight.

It is very simple design which I cased from Stamp TV.

I have dragged Bashful Blue and Baja Breeze Stamp Pads across Whisper White Cardstock, then I stamped Lovely as Trees in Basic Black and added 2 Way Glue Pen and sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds at bases of the trees.

Windsor Knot Bargello

I finished this card the other day, using the Bargello Techinque.

I have made it very simple, I thought it would make a great man's card.

Urban Oasis Purse

I have been admiring these purses that Chiaki Haverstick has been making. I love her work and she has got lots of tutorials and has just added the instuctions for this purse.

Paul and Samuel went out this afternoon, so I got some crafting time.

I have used Urban Oasis DSP, Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss Cardstock.

The Purse holds 6 3" x 3" Note Cards.

I used 5-Petal and Boho Blossom Punches to make the flowers.

I found tutorial for the 10- Petal Flower on Dawn Olchefske Blog using 5- Petal Punch.

Roses and Carnations

I have been making Roses and Carnations for Life Church Timaru 50th Celebrations next month.

 

We are having red table runners down the middle of the tables, black candle on gold metallic card.

 With 2 gold pincones and a rose on one side of the candle.

 

And 2 gold pinecones and a carnation on the other side. 

These are made using Real Red Cardstock and brushed with Crystal Effects mixed with Dazzling Diamonds and Riding Hood Red Reinker.

If you would like to know how to make these contact me to book a workshop.

JAI # 24

This week at Just Add Ink there is a sketch challenge.

Here is my card I have made for this sketch.

I have finally got around to making these beautiful Pansys using the Butterfly Punch.

I used Elegant Eggplant and More Mustard Reinkers and Aqua Painters to achieve these Pansys.

I used Glossy White Cardstock and really love the look it gives the pansys.

Cased Michelle Zindorf

Here's a card that I cased from Michelle Zindorf.

 

Michelle does the most amazing brayered and sponged cards and she is very generous and has tutorials for her cards. Her blog is a must visit blog.

This is the inside of the card.

 

I have used Asian Artistry Stamp Set (Level 2 hostess set). If you would like to earn this Stamp Set contact me to book a workshop.

I have used Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron, Tangerine Tango and Always Artichoke Ink. 

In my last order I bought myself the White Gel Pen, I have owned white gel pens in the pass and have never been impressed with there performance. SU White Gel Pen is great I'm so impressed I know I will use it lots.

I have used it to colour the wings on the Dragonfly and ripples in the water.
