Love you just the way you are...

This is the card I made Keiron for Valentines Day.

I knew I had to use one of these fabulous stamps from Some Odd Girl, they're my new favourites!!

The image has been coloured with copics, I also got the ginger a bit better this time. It's much closer to the colour of Keiron's hair than the orange haired angel that ended up on his Christmas card!!! I also added some feathers behind the couple.

The backing paper is from the Very Merry paper pack from Crafty Boots. I then added a strip of lace and a strip of gold mirri card which I punched with an EK Success punch, also from Crafty Boots

I then used a piece of paper from the 'Love Me' 6x6 paper pad from Crafty Boots. The pattern on the paper said 'Love' all over it but I used the 'Love you just the way you are' stamp from the Stampin Up Sprinkled Expressions Saleabration stamp set and stamped it in pink all over the paper. I then added adhesive strips of teeny tiny heart shaped pearls in between each column I'd stamped. I didnt really want to cover it up so took a photo for you before I did.

I love how versatile this stamp set is. I'd never imagined using it as a background stamp when I bought it but have done exactly that twice now.

Heart Flourish

For this card I used a paper from the My Minds Eys 6x6 paper pad from Crafty Boots.

The paper at the back is by Artoz, I also used red mirri card along the top cut with a Martha Stewart heart punch from Crafty Boots.

Finally the image is 'Heart Flourish' from Hope Jacare coloured with Copics and Sakura glitter pens.

Tag 4

This tag gives the first hint as to what the finished project will be but you'll still have to wait a while to see it all completed!

For this tag the flower frame and little pram stamps are from Clarity Stamps.  The flowers I coloured with kurecolor and the pram with glitter pens.  I then added some ribbon, pearls and pins.

I'll be back soon to show you the rest of the tags!

Tag 3

For tag 3 I used the 'You Are Loved' stamp set from Stampin Up.

I stamped the flower in red onto the card and then stamped the heart twice and embossed it in fold.

I used some red ric rac instead of ribbon.

Tag 4 will be on it's way tomorrow!! 

Tag 2

For the second tag on my big project I started by spraying the tag (cut from kraft card) with Perfect Pearls Mist in 'Heirloom Gold'.

I then stamped the 'Arty Heart' from Clarity Stamps and embossed it in red.  I coloured the inside of the stamp around the red with a gold Wink of Stella pen.

Finally I added some gold gilding flakes around the edge and a gold ribbon.

Pop back tomorrow to see tag number 3!

Flutist Fairy

How cute is she?!  This image is a new release from Some Odd Girl.  I used to play the flute myself and as soon as I saw this little fairy I HAD to have her!!!

I have coloured her with Copics, and some wink of stella on her wings.

The music paper is from the Sunshine paper pad from Crafty Boots.

I added some red polka dot ribbon, Butterflies cut using a Stampin Up Sizzlits die and also used an EK Success punch along the top border.

I am entering this card into the Some Odd Girl colour challenge.

The start of a special project - tag 1

I've started a project that hopefully will be quite special when its finished...  I have started by making 8 tags, I can't blog the finished project yet so will show you the tags one at a  time before I show the finished project.

This is the first tag.  I used the Outlined Occasions stamp set from Stampin Up and embossed the 'Celebrate' in pink.  I added some lace, card candi and ribbon and made a flower out of 'Gemstones' cardstock using Tim Holtz tattered florals die.

I'll be back with Tag 2 tomorrow! 

Venetian valentines

The theme at Crafty Boots Challenges this fortnight is Valentines.  I made two projects this week and this is the second one.

On my card I used an Artoz paper with glittered roses on and some pink.red 'gemstones' paper.

The main image is from Teddy Bo, coloured with Copics and the 'Love' and 'Happy Valentines Day' stamps are from Stampin Up 'You Are Loved' stamp set.  I added some tiny heart shaped pearls.

Crafty Boots Challenge - Valentines

The theme at Crafty Boots Challenges this fortnight is Valentines.

I was inspired by fellow DT member Gabrielle as she always makes such beautiful tags so I thought this week I would give it a go.

I used the 'Tag and Bookplates' die by Tim Holtz and stamped a heart stamp from Stampin Up 'Sprinkled Expressions' stamp set.  I embossed the heart stamp in red. 

(thought I'd show you a pic of the hearts as I covered most of them up!)

The image I used is the gorgeous Wryn from Tiddly Inks.  I love Tiddly Inks images but this gorgeous little girl is really special, love her! I coloured Wryn with copics and glitter pens on the wings.

I put a strip of ribbon along the bottom and used the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die to make the flower and added a pearl heart in the centre.  

I added another two pearl hearts on the corners of the tag and a pearl string on the top which I added a heart charm and crystal to.

For my first tag I am quite pleased with it but I love this image so much I think I would like anything I made with it!!
