Winnie the pooh

• Disney Winnie the pooh- honey pot fun metal die
• Avery elle- woodland wonders
• Mama elephant- Madison avenue framed tags
• Memento 'tuxedo black'ink pad
• Neenahclassic crest cardstock
• Copics- E55,57,59 &47. YG63,67. R24,27. Y15,18. 100.
• Sakura 'clear star' glitter pen & #849 (black) glaze pen
• Sakura  01 micron pen
• Tim holtz 'tumbled glass'distress ink pad
• White, yellow, red & brown cardstock

I created a background by stamping the trees and colouring with copics. I then masked the trees and inked the card blank blue. I die cut a frame to fit the card. For the sentiment, I stamped the banner, positioned the sentiment inside and die cut into the banner. Finally, I took the winnie the pooh and die cut him from white cardstock as a base layer. I then die cut the relevant pieces from coloured cardstock and paper pieced onto the base layer. I used my copics to add shading to the banner and pooh bear, as well as colouring the bee. I added the lines on the honey pot and face with the sakura micron pen. I glued down all the pieces onto the card blank, using foam to add dimension and finished off with glazing to the nose and glitter on the bees wings.

• Memento 'tuxedo black'ink pad 
• Tim holtz distress 'tumbled glass' ink pad
• White & Kraft cardstock 

To make this card I die cut 3 panels of white cardstock. One I inked blue and added a sentiment. The second I cut again at an angle. I stamped a small bee image all over and coloured using copics. I added shimmer with wink of stella. I then die cut a circle of white card and stamped my image. I used my copics to colour the image and add a blue haze around it to give it more depth. I die cut the same circle out of funky foam to create a layer to add some dimension to the card. I glued all these pieces to my card blank to match the sketch. I used the third panel of white cardstock to decorate the inside of my card. I stamped a sentiment in the middle of the panel and a image in the bottom corner. I coloured this with copics and glued it inside my card to finish.

To make this card I cut a piece of card slightly smaller than my card front. I inked the background with yellow and added some brown around the edges. I stamped some script over the piece to create a background paper. I cut a smaller second panel of card and stamped this with my image and sentiment. I then water coloured the image using distress inks. I added glitter to the sentiment and bee wings. I wrapped twine around the edge of the panel and secured it with a knot. I used foam tape to glue my panel to the card front to add dimension.

simon says Wednesday challenge- 'anything goes'

my magnolia valentines ...

 

I created these two valentines cards using magnolia 'tilda' stamps coloured with promarkers. I have added sizzix die cut letters for the messages and the hearts. I inked the card blanks with tim holts distress ink and stamped the background for added interest. I also used an embossing folder for the circle layer on the love card. I used stickles to add glittered accents to the bee wings and cosmic shimmer pearlescent paint and a silk edged organza bow to the love card. The love envelope and insert was also stamped with the hearts background to match the card.

 

 

Happy Valentines day all,

happy birthday honey...

stamps: sweet as honey from penny black, itty bitty banners from stampin up!
inks: archival ink pad (sepia), tim holtz ink pad (scattered straw, dried marigold, brushed corduroy, sakura (clear star) glitter pen
cardstock: craftwork cards digi cardstock, 6x4" card blank(trimmed slightly)
dies: hexagon hive thinlits die from stampin up! and sizzix plus big shot machine to cut it from sizzix

 

I chose a bee theme for this card, inspired by one of my new goodies... the hexagon hive !! I die cut my card and trimmed it to size, (I saved the hexagons it cuts out to layer on selected areas for a bit of added dimension.) I then stamped my little bees and water coloured them using my ink pad and a brush. I used my glitter pen to create a nice finish on the wings. i hand cut each of my bees out to allow me to bend them and stick them on for a 3D effect. the banner stamped with the sentiment was the final element i made before the card could be glued together for my take on the sketch.
