Happy Birthday Card

Hello everyone! I hope that you are safe and well. Today I am sharing a card with you that features stamps and products from the Lily and Moss Collection by Kaisercraft. I was really inspired by the stamp set and decided that I would use this as my main focus for my card.

I used my copic markers to colour one of the stamps that are part of the stamp set. Once I had finished colouring the image in, I used a white gel pen to add some details to the largest blooms.

To add a vintage feel to my card, I added some die cut details around my stamped image. I used the corner die from the ornate pack 2 plus some rhinestones.

If you don't own copic markers, this image would like beautiful watercoloured using watercolour markers. It doesn't take a long time to colour in, but the results are very pleasing!

Enjoy the Seaside

Hello everyone! I think that summer is nearly here....that is with Kaisercraft! This fabulous sea/beach collection called Unchartered Waters has so many possibilities to capture holiday photos, days spent at the beach or even by the pool. I have two projects to share using this collection.

My layout is a beach inspired layout. I used textures including stamping, cheese cloth, stencils and even some light misting to create my background. I added some altered paper blooms, collectable pieces as well as wooden flourishes to embellish my photo.

I used the stamp set to create a card. I coloured the main image in using copic markers and also created a background using watercolour paper plus some Kaiser mists. I added some collectable pieces to add to the shells, to create a little scene.

To download instructions for both of these projects, click here to visit the Kaisercraft blog.

Kindness

Hello everyone! Happy September to you and Happy Father's Day to all in Australia.  Every now and then, I pull out some stamps and colour, for relaxation and also to practise techniques. I had finished this card a few weeks ago, but felt it needed 'something.' I added some extra flowers and now I am satisfied.

I have had this Kaisercraft clear stamp in my stash for a long time. I bought it specifically for colouring practise. I used copic markers and then I masked my image and used distress ink to blend around the background.

I used some dies to create the branch, flowers and leaves for the owl.

Paper: Kaisercraft Rose Avenue Paper Pad PP1030, Cardstock Coffee Bean CD108, Forest CD 114, XPress It Blending Card

Stamp: Kaisercraft CS951 Owl

Do What You Love

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today's post is a little bit different. These projects were completed toward the end of my school term. I was feeling stressed and needed to relax so I was colouring a little bit each night for some relaxation. I was also using this as an opportunity to practise my copic colouring as I haven't done any for ages. I had some practice images and I decided that one was good enough to use on a project. I played around with my distress oxides and before I knew it...a card had been created!

I used some of the Shabby Chic Background papers in my card and the sentiment of a Christmas stamp!

My second card is an elegant card which again uses the Shabby Chic papers. I have wanted to make one these card wrap cards for a while and decided that I would see if I had a suitable die in my stash and have a go and make one.

I had a Heartfelt Creations layered posy die which was originally designed to create a gatefold styled card and it was perfect for this card. I then die cut Memory Box Kensington Branch die along with the sentiment which is part of set from Tim Holtz Celebrate die collection. I needed to have elements that complimented the elegant swirls from the wrap portion of the die.

This middle section of the card lifts up as a top folding card so that you can write your sentiments inside.

Two very different projects completed using the same paper collection but created just for the purpose of enjoyment!

Supplies:
Meg's Garden
Paper: Shabby Chic Backgrounds
Lace
White Paper Rose
Ribbon

Audrey Doll Tag

Hello everyone! Today I have a tag to share with you. I bought a few of the Julie Nutting doll stamps a while ago, and I haven't used them for ages. As I had some left over papers from some Meg's Garden projects, I thought it would be a great way to use both!

Firstly, I stamped the image twice and die cut them out using the coordinating dies. I stamped the dress onto left over Lavande paper and the face and legs section onto text paper. To colour the face and arms I used copic markers E000, E000, E11 and R20. To colour her hair I used E50, E55, E57 and E59.

To accent areas of her dress, I used copic markers BV000, BV11 and V17. I did some random stamping of butterflies and script over her dress to add some texture. I coloured her waist band in using some clear wink of stella. These flowers are from my stash, and they complement the doll and the papers.

I used the same skin tones to colour her legs. I used a black copic marker and the clear wink of stella to colour her shoes.

Some ribbon, seam binding and butterflies complete the tag.

Meg's Garden : Lavande Collection and White Flowers on Green

Hello Friend

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've created anything and posted anything. I have had a break due to some family reasons, had my dreaded reporting term at work, taken some long service leave and have been overseas and I feel the mojo is back!

I have been working on a project with my class. We have been French knitting a blanket to give away to someone who is homeless. That project is nearly complete. I will share that once it is done - I have also been brushing up on my crochet skills as I haven't done any for a long time!

The card I am sharing started months ago. I coloured the Whimsy image in and it has been in a drawer for months. I had intended to create with it earlier however things happened and it the card was made last night!

I intended to work on techniques this year. I have stock piled copic markers and distress inks/markers and I hope that that will happen at some stage. I have enrolled in a few online classes so now I have to actually complete them!

Anyway, I am about to start my next project which I hope to share with you soon which will be a mini album.

Home Decor

Hello everyone! Today I would like to share something a little bit different. While I've been recuperating, I decided to work on some techniques that I've been wanting to do for some time. I have wanted to work on copic marker colouring as well as colouring with distress markers. I also hoped that along the way I would find my Mojo! To help me with this process, I enrolled in an online class which if you are interested, the link is here.
 

As I was busy colouring, I found this frame at The Reject Shop. I decided that I would display my pictures in and display in in my classroom for the children to see.

Here are some close ups...

As I have been working on these images on and off over the last two weeks, I have had a lot of fun! Using the frame has really made a difference.

Supplies:

Stamps: Altenew Persian Motifs, Gorjuss New Heights, Kaisercraft Butterflies, Tim Holtz Simple Sayings, Digital Stamps free from the internet, Digital Stamps from the on line class (see link above)

Ink: Distress inks

Paper: Strathmore Watercolor Paper, Neenah Crest Solar White
