Cat Lovers hop day 5

 

On my way to get ready for bed, and realized I had not posted my final hop card

I stamped my crazy cat (by Tim Holtz) directly onto a piece of DP and coloured him with grey shades of Copics. I added another strip at the bottom and handcut a flag for the sentiment

BYSH Cardmakers day 7

 

I am back again with my final entry for the BYSHC blog hop

I cut the pieces for the truck on my Cameo and glued them together, except for the first layer, which has mounting tape in between. I had such a frustrating time trying to get my Cameo to cut, and ended up having to put in a new blade, which solved the problem.

I glued a rectangle of DP to my red card base and then attached the truck. 

The Merry Christmas is a sticker.

I will send this one to my 2 grandsons in Sydney, I don't think they will be coming for a holiday again this year because of Covid restrictions. 

Thank goodness for Skype!

Timeless Beauty

 

Back for my second post today

This gorgeous image is for this month's challenge at Fripperies and Butterflies, Gecko Gals Steampunk Challenge

After printing, I chose a dark green base card as it tones so well with the beautiful mask

I adhered a piece of old lace down the side and coloured it with gold paint, and also adding some paint to the top right for interest The clock embellishment also matches the one on the mask

BYSH Cardmakers day 6

 

I spotted this design on one of the blogs that I follow, so this is my version

I stamped onto kraft card and again on a scrap of DP using my Penny Black stamp (dated 2005)

I added a strip of washi across the bottom and then drew a white line either side

I drew the star freehand and outlined it with a black pen, then smudged it a bit

I also drew the black and white lines that the tree is grounded on

Message stamped in Brilliance grahite black

BYSH Cardmakers Day5

 

My second post for today.

I am still making Christmas cards for the BYSHC blog hop, so that is filling my box nicely. 

It is such a great incentive!

Today's card was made with a background of distress inks applied direct to the textured card with a wet wipe. My snowman is a precut one and I coloured the patterned piece from the back so it would show better. I then added a couple of peeloffs from the 'mountain'

 My card for BYSHC day 2. Mostly made from Christmas papers and some tiny white snowflakes added

Christmas robins

 

Welcome back

Today's card uses a technique that I was reminded of recently, using a paper napkin

I cut the birds from another piece and layered them with mounting tape for dimension. I then matted with gold card and adhered to a white card base. Quite pleased with the result. 

This is for my husbands elderly relative who is in a care home

Winter Illusion

 

Hello and welcome to a windy Friday. It is a good day to be inside playing in the craft room

After seeing Dawn's card using winter illusion EP, it reminded me that I had some as well. It has such a pretty effect in the light. With this photo I tried to capture both the pink and the turquoise

I first embossed my black card using a Craft Concept EF and then applied Versamark to the flat area. Added the EP and heat set. The sentiment is cut from white card using my Cameo Silhouette.

I diecut the rectangle and adhered to a white card base

Hedgehog Joy

 

Hello and Welcome

Today's card features a very old Penny Black stamp called Hedgehog Joy, I am not sure if it is still available

I have coloured with my copics and punched out a number of leaves from a multi-coloured DP, which I then adhered over the flowers

The background was an experiment in using up the ink inside gel pens which would no longer write, and then some dried marigold DI sponged over in places. I was quite pleased how this turned out.

I used letter peeloffs to make the word 'happy' because this is what the hedgie feels playing in the autumn leaves!

In The Pink

 

Hi everyone

Today's card follows a sketch from MFT, and uses the colours for Passion for Markers

To make my card I used a scrap of pink DP and ran a red marker around the outside

I then diecut a stitched circle from a piece of Fabriana Bristol and stamped it with one of Tim Holtz crazy birds. The sentiment is Woodware Deco sayings, embossed in white on a scrap of black. A little pink sequin heart finishes it off.

Markers I used are - 

Promarkers R244, R366, R327

Thiscolor 9 pale pink
