Best Friends

Hi ....
Happy April Fools Day ...It is also time for the new monthly challenge to start over at Craft-DeeBowz.. The theme of the challenge is as always Anything goes with a handmade bow .
The sponsor for this months challenge is the Fabulous Bugaboo who will be giving the lucky winner 4 images as the prize and you can check out all the amazing digital stamps   here

For my DT project i have made this double aperture card .
I used the sweet image from Bugaboo called Ladybug fairy  I coloured her with promarkers.

. I used the papers from Anna Marie designs called Blissful Teal. The die for the fence is from Joycrafts. The Flourish die came from the works. The sentiment stamp came free in a mag a long time ago.
I created the double apertures with circle dies from go Kreate

The flowers are handmade and  i used the Heartfelt creations Arianna bloom Die to create them .(I have made a very basic video on how i did the flowers and you can find it in the video section under the header above )

The gorgeous bow was made using my handy Craft Dee Bowz tool it creates such full stunning bows every time with no effort at all and you can find out all about it HERE

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 .
