Live Life In Colour

 Hi all
A few of my friends have gotten together and started a new online craft store. called In2craft.... How Fab is that .. I have been asked to be a member of their DT  so here is my 3rd project for them..
In2craft have a Facebook page  for all things craft inspired so do pop over and have a look what they are up to and indeed upload any tips or things you have made yourself to inspire others. You will find a link to their online store   In2craft. too .
Their  prices are amazing and they are super speedy in sending out your orders mine arrived 24 hrs after ordering .I ordered 3 of the new Phil Martin collage stamps and this is the second project i have made using one of them ... There will be others i warn you because the stamps are stunning.
This 3rd project features the Henna Stamp from Phil Martin.. I used a piece of white mount board and inked it up with ,Mustard seed ,wild honey,fired brick and seedless preserves Tim Holtz distress ink. I then stamped the Henna stamp using stayzon ink over the inked mountboard once it dried  . I then heat embossed it with versamark clear sticky ink and Ultra thick embossing powder ... I edged the mountboard with a black promarker to hide the white edges.
I mounted it onto a  piece of sue wilson black foundation card 
I used the same inks around  the outside of a piece of white card so i had another matt layer to sit this all on . I finished it with a butterfly and a computer generated sentiment cut into individual words and again inked with the same ink colours i have used throughout the project ...I really enjoyed getting messy with the inks again its been a while since i used them . It is also nice to branch out of my usual fussy , girly cards ..I hope you like it and have a go at it for yourself .. I have made a video for you tube showing how to create it for yourself it can be found here at Traceys creative place ...

In2Craft second project ...On a crafty roll

Hi all
A few of my friends have gotten together and started a new online craft store. called In2craft.... How Fab is that .. I have been asked to be a member of their DT  so here is my 2nd project for them..
In2craft have a Facebook page  for all things craft inspired so do pop over and have a look what they are up to and indeed upload any tips or things you have made yourself to inspire others. You will find a link to their online store   In2craft. too .
Their  prices are amazing and they are super speedy in sending out your orders mine arrived 24 hrs after ordering .I ordered 3 of the new Phil Martin collage stamps and this is the second project i have made using one of them ... There will be others i warn you because the stamps are stunning.

I have used  the new Phil Martin music collage stamp stamped in black memento ink behind the circle aperture ..it is so detailed and pretty .
The lattice aperture panel is a tonic die set i have had for a long time  . i backed it with black sue wilson foundation card to add some drama..
The fan of leaves behind the rose is a fab die from the works and it was just £3.oo ... bargain and it cuts like a dream
The rose was handmade using the classic rose sue wilson die set and her black foundation card 
The sentiment is perfect and came from a Sheena Douglass free set of stamps that came free with a mag last month..The rolls of paper are just off cuts of the phil martin stamped image rolled around a tiny paintbrush to make straws ... effective and easy .

A new online Craft Store !!!!!!

Hi all
A few of my friends have gotten together and started a new online craft store. called In2craft.... How Fab is that .. I have been asked to be a member of their DT and i was thrilled to accept . They have a Facebook page also for all things craft inspired so do pop over and have a look what they are up to and indeed upload any tips or things you have made yourself to inspire others. You will find a link to their online store    In2craft. too . The prices are amazing and they are super speedy in sending out your orders mine arrived 24 hrs after ordering .I ordered 3 of the new Phil Martin collage stamps and this is the first project i have made using one of them ... There will be others i warn you because the stamps are stunning.
I have made an Eclipse card  and matching candle set . I have made a very basic video for the eclipse technique and you will find it   HERE  on  my youtube  channel   which is called Traceys creative place should you like to have a go yourselves ... Be kind the video was the first one i have ever done and i promise i will get better lol.
I have used the Phil Martin Romantica collage stamp which i stamped with 3 different inks [pink,and 2 different reds.]from  an .Altenew  ink set . I used the Xcut A4 letter dies for the word Love . I used Red linen card to back the stamped image . The flower was handmade from thin paper so i could shape the petals and i used a spellbinders rose  die set to cut the petals and a ball tool to shape them .I stamped the whole thing again  twice , joined it together  so it was long enough to wrap around the candle .I backed it with a  layer of  Red linen card wrapped it with twine and added a rose so it matched the card ...I hope you like the projects  and that you pop over to have a look at the new store... Happy shopping guys .
I have made a video tutorial on how to make an eclipse card if you would like to have a go for yourselves you can find it HERE on Traceys creative place on youtube

A very Girly Tag card

Hi
It is Tracey here with my mid month inspiration project .. I am always looking to make a cute shaped card so as I love Tags ... why not make a tag shaped card  .I love the Julia Nutting large girly stamps which are perfectly sized for a large tag so I used one here on my Tag card .I used  striped and spotty cardstock from Ann Marie Crafts  on this tag and I paper pieced the same cardstock for the clothes...I think it gives a really co-ordinated look ..The gorgeous flowers are from Petaloo...

The swirl is made using a memory box die called Riviera.
The oval fancy frame is made using a crafters companion oval die. The word Love is a fuzzy lemon die and it has been cut out 4 times and layered up to give dimension .
I coloured the image with promarkers and the gorgeous bow was created using my fabulous Craft-DeeBowZ  Bowmaker.
