Marleen DT - Christmas is coming..

Hello Bloggers
and welcome to my blog

It's once again wednesday and my turn to share some inspiration for Colourific.
For today I have a couple of christmas cards to share using a few of the christmas stamps. Its never too early to start the christmas cards is it? lol You can find the stamps I've used and all the other fantastic stamps in the STORE.
For my cards today, I have used the following:
A6 -Holly & Berries Background
A6 - Xmas text Background
A5 Stitched Friends

 

 

 
Both cards has been made the same way. I started by stanping the background strips with the background stamps. The red one is coloured with distress oxide "mop up" and the green one was coloured with water colour pencils. Both of my stiched friends was stamped, coloured and fuzzy cut before being added on top of a die cut circle from vellum.

And that is pretty much it.. If you wanted to take this card to the next level, you could finish it with a few gems and even a greeting but I tend to keep my christmas cards extra simple.
And that is it from me for today.

Pillow Boxes

Happy Colourific Thursday Jan  
August 1st really??

 here today to share with you some Pillow boxes I made

I do love to make these

I used two stamp sets from Colourific

Hydrangeas

and

Chrysanthemum

Both Beautiful Stamp Sets with lots of potential

I cut my boxes out using my portrait cutter and added some acetate to the windows

(For those that know me ....Yes the paper is from B n M's Bargain at £2.99 this one is called Grandma's Garden)

Very easy to make up with only one glue line needed

I then stamped up the flowers and leaves a few times so I could layer up

I coloured these with distress ink and used a white Posca pen for detail

There are some tiny little middle stamps in the sets I covered these with Nuvo Drops and left all to dry.............

I made up my flowers and attached middles , there very shiny in real life

Attached the flowers to my Pillow boxes 

A very easy, and simple project

They just need to be filled with goodies now

Vintage Wedding - Marleen DT

Hi everyone

Its once again Wednesday and my turn to share a bit of inspiration using the stamps from
ColourificFor today's project I have used the stamp sets called
A5 - champagne & Cocktails
A5 - Vintage Car
Find them in the STORE along with all the other amazing stamps.

    A simple little card. A background made with an embossing folder and a vellum die cut heart, created the setting for my vintage car. I stamped the 'congratulations' from the 'champagne and cocktails' set, using an Archival ink strait on to the vellum and left to dry.

The car itself, I stamped onto watercolour card stock and coloured with water colour pencils. I cut masks from post-it-notes for both tyres and covered the rest of the car with clear embossing powder. I only gave it 1 coat but as I look at pics now I wish I would have done 2. I think it would have given it just that little bit more..

Anyway.. my number plate.. This is a nifty little on.. let me show you..

Do you see the number plate already ON the car?? It says 'Happy Birthday' but further down on the set there is an extra plate that says 'Wedding Day'. So you can change the plate on the car for more use. I love that. It just gives you more ways to use the set. I suppose if you have other mini stamps with greetings, you can block out the 'happy birthday' when you ink up the car and add other stamps there..

Anyway, I stamped out the wedding plate and fuzzy cut it and layer it up on my car.
I finished my little card with a few gems and a bit of sparkle pen on the number plate.
And that is it from me for today.

Happy Birthday

Hello, it's Liz here. Today my card features two different stamp sets, I like to mix and match! The flowers are from the Hydrangeas set and the leaves are from the Peonies set. I stamped everything onto watercolour card using my Versafine ink pad. I then coloured with distress markers, some water and a paint brush. I then fussy cut and attached to my card base using foam pads. 

Have you entered our challenge? It's anything goes so that's nice and easy isn't it? There's a gorgeous stamp set up for one lucky winner. All the details you need are here.

Peonies

Hello, it's Liz here. Today my card features the 'Peony' set. I stamped onto watercolour card using my Distress Markers. I used Aged Mahogany for the flowers and Frayed Burlap for the leaves. I like that I can use my markers directly onto stamps if I don't have the colour I need in an ink pad. Then I coloured with the markers, some water and a paintbrush. I know a lot of folks don't like to fussy cut but I love it! So relaxing.

Thanks for stopping by today, happy crafting!
