Sugar Bowl - April

 

 

Hi All,

Firstly I apologise for the picture heavy post, it was kind of hard to work out the best way to photograph this to show the complete project.

Well ... its time for another challenge over at the sugar bowl and as always we have the theme of anything goes. I have used the fabulous Leanne Ellis image, the Leanne Ellis range can be found here I have coloured her up with copic's ( this one was coloured a while ago, so pre me making a note of copic's used ) and I added a water colour background. I then teamed it up with one of the teacup cards from " The house of Zandra, fabulous tea & cakes cd " I added the clock, little mushrooms and tiny little bottle to really try and add to that wonderland theme. I hope you like.

I would so love to see you in the sugar bowl, I love being inspired by you all, and as always there are some fabulous sugary prizes on offer :-)

I would like to add this to the following challenges:

Sparkle and Shine in the Sugar Bowl

Hello All,

Its time for another challenge over at the Sugar Bowl. This month we are looking for sparkle and Shine.

This is one of these cards that is fairly plain and simple but took me ages! I started with the fabulous Leanne Ellis - True Love image I stamped and embossed with black embossing powder, I used watercolour pencils to do the background and edges with distress inks, the image has been coloured with a combo of copics and prisma's , unfortunately due to the stamping with embossing powder I ended up with a weird grey shadow under her chin that I couldn't get rid of so I painted over with acrylic's it still shows but I am hoping I got away with it.

All the circles have been filled with Anita's Glaze and sprinkled with glitter. The background paper is handmade, I have used twinkling H2o's I have overstamped with a Bo Bunny script stamp, and I have used a Katy Sue stamp for the flowers  again I used Anita's glaze over them, I finished off with doodling and more glitter .... I struggled getting the "sparkle and shine" to show up on the photo's so I have done a couple of close ups just to prove its there!! lol ...

I also would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge - Add sentiment
Daring Card Makers - All the other reasons
Sister Act - Anything Goes

Feeling the Love in the Sugar Bowl

Hello All,

Its been a while since I have played in the sugar bowl, so I have enjoyed having a play once more!! I adore Leanne Ellis images, and I love this one, she is so quirky!!! and she fits perfectly with the love theme that has been set. I have coloured her using my copics, The paper is "Tilda - Flowergarden" which I purchased on my last visit to Paper boutique in Elgin..... I stamped the word love using an "Anna Griffin" stamp, with a "brilliance - orchid" inkpad, it turned out a little harsh for my liking so I went over it with a quicky glue pen and then sprinkled over some loose glitter...

I should really be mass producing cards today, however my crafty space is such a mess I cant get my head round it, so I think I will be doing a good sort out today instead!!

Mini Notes with Leanne Ellis

Hello All,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend...for those that asked I had a fabulous night last night...I went to a strictly show last year, I have to say that I enjoyed last nights show with Brendon Cole much more!!...such amazing talent, and I love the dresses, (that the girls worse) and Brendon comes across as a really nice guy, not the bad boy they paint on the Strictly shows...... LOVED IT!!!!

Anyway onto today's make...this is the final image that was sent to me in my DTg package...I do Love Leanne Ellis images, this one is called in a while..and you can buy it here I was delighted this one was in my little bundle!.....I was having a good nosey round the pound shop a few weeks ago and bought a few bits and pieces, I bought a little pack of 10 mini note pads for £1 and 8 mini pens for £1....so this little book has not cost me much more than 22p.....Bargain!!!

Its my first attempt at something like this, so please do not look to closely, the finishing is not brilliant, but I have learnt a lot.....I have made it all from paper and card from that scrap pile of mine......also I have used some Papermania magnets just to give the little belt thing a proper fastening....there is also a little pocket at the side of the notepad.....maybe to fit stamps in or something!!!....I did try to decorate the pen, but it actually looked worse by the time I had finished so I decided just to leave it......I can see myself becoming quite addicted to making these little note wallets.

Kathryn Wheel Challenge Jan/Feb

Hello All,

Well here are my Feb Pages of my art journal. I have to say that last month hopping around all the talented crafters that are joining in the Kathryn Wheel Challenge, I was so inspired by the fabulous mix of bright colours....and so I really wanted to be a bit braver with colour for this month....also you maybe thinking that this seems familiar, and yes I love the front cover of my inkspiration journal which you can see here, I wanted to do it again but on a slightly larger scale.

I have taken a load of leanne Ellis images and have masked them altogether...I then coloured with copics, and then painted over using twinkling H2'Os ( Pink Azalea, Key Lime, Sky Blue, Iridescent Gold & Yellow Rose)....and I used the Yellow Rose For the main background. For the squares I used "Big & Juicy - Happy Birthday" which I have braired onto card...and then chopped it up for the little squares.

This is my entry for

Crafty Card Makers - Just add water (twinkling H2'Os)
CES Challenges - Bright and Bold
Spoon Full Of Sugar - Photo inspiration

And here are my January pages....I did find that I have overcome the fear of my own handwriting, the more I wrote on this the more the page looked right...however I did say as this was my first attempt at art journaling I am sure I would look back on this page and cringe....I already think my feb page is 100 times better than this one.....hopefully I will keep improving as the year progresses!!........I just think it will look a funny mixed bag by the end of the year.

Leanne Ellis Gift Set

Hello All,

I hope you had a good week end. I just Love these new Leanne Ellis images...this one is my new favourite.....I am so loyal LOL!!!!

I have made a little gift set from this "All is not Lost" stamp available here at the lovely Funky Kits home of all Sugar Nellie stamps.

This card has been made from all my scraps....and I stamped the image a couple of times so I could add some layers to the roses to add a little more dimension.


I am most excited about the necklace..... I have always wanted to make jewelry from Shrink plastic... but had never quite got round to it. These images just spoke to me and I thought they would be perfect for making jewelry!....This is my first ever attempt at a necklace....don't look too closely.....there are lots of Flaws, but I guess practice makes perfect...the chain, the findings and the gem are all from "Midnight Gardens".......this is quite basic but I hope to get better with practice...i am sure I will look back on this and be amused at how proud I feel at the mo!

More Leanne Ellis

Hello All,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend,............ I think this may be my new favouritst stamp!!!!! She is just gorgeous.....I did buy 3 of the new Leanne Ellis stamps, but I just keep inking this one up......

I have stamped this image 3 times....The first time with gold embossing powder....I then coloured in the design with a quicky glue pen and added gilding flakes to create the gold frame.
The 2nd image I stamped with memento...inked the edges with "distress ink - antique linen and walnut stain...then did UTEE....I put in the freezer for a couple of mins to create the crackled effect. The final image I used "brilliance ink - Graphite black" then embossed with clear gloss and coloured with copics...and then I layered all the images up.

I have embossed some paper with "spellbinders - flourish" and I have used some paper from my pile of scraps.....the edges have been inked with "distress ink - antique linen".......Then over stamped with "Hero Arts - Manuscript background" and added some hand stitching.

The ribbon I had was totally the wrong red, so I coloured over it with my copics so I had a better colour match...it's a bit patchy, but I think that works with the distressed feel......and finally I added a few gems.

Inkspiration

Hello All,..

I should have issued a warning that you may need sunglasses to view!!! LOL.......

Well Inspiration for this project came from so many places!! Firstly reading Hels blog, she inspired a friend Ellen to overcome a lack of mojo by setting a challenge to make a book for crafty ideas.....now I have not followed Hels recipe in the slightest, but I just thought how nice it would be to have a place to jot down crafty thoughts and ideas....it would save them all being jumbled in my head....also I have so many idea's and not enough time....and yet there are times that I sit down to craft I am so overwhelmed I don't know where to start....and I can end up wasting a whole evening..day.. just faffing...the hope it I can look in my crafty little book and it and kick start my creativity!!!

The 2nd place of inspiration came last night when I was blogging, I was leaving a message for a bloggy friend, and noticed that I made a typo and has written INKSPIRATION....I laughed to myself as I thought how appropriate!!!....I did correct the spelling, but thought it would make a great title for my book......I plan to keep it almost as an art journal...do it will be full of ideas but I can experiment with various techniques too!

The Final source of inspiration was my fab new Leanne Ellis stamps arrived today and I just HAD to have a play!!!

I am so proud of myself, because this little book has been made entirely from scrap card...and I got to play with my cinch...it only the 2nd time I have had it out since I rescued it from its unloved state in November!!!..

So I started by pulling out all my Leanne Ellis stamps...and decided I would create a background making a collage effect. I used "Brilliance Inkpad - Graphite Black" and some clear gloss embossing powder....although there is loads of masking it was no too difficult as most of Leanne Ellis Stamps have a lovely border to them..... I then coloured the images using copics....and then I have painted over them using " twinking H2'0s - yellow rose, iridescent gold, sky blue, key lime & pink Azalea. I have inked round the edge with " Distress Ink - aged mahogany"

Most of the text I have done on the computer....and for the INKSPIRATION sentiment I used some " Colorbok" stickers that I have had lying around for ages......The main image comes with the most gorgeous ornate frame...but It didn't look right with all those bright colours.... So I cut out the oval of the image, and created a mat on some "kanban" embossed card to create a mat.

I have just used tons of ribbons, and then created some shrink plastic charms partly cause I thought it would look fab....but also because my shrinkie skill still needs a lot of practice and I really would like to make myself some jewelry from these images.

I love this...but I am not sure what that says about all the craziness in my head!!! LOL...

Wow that's a lot of waffle...thanks for bearing with me

This is my entry for:

Saturday Secret Crafter - Tons of texture...( all images are heat embossed, The main mat is embossed card, then there is the stitching and the ribbon)

Alice Playing in the Sugar Bowl!

Hello All...

How are you, I hope you have had a good weekend! ........Now no matter how many times I have tried I have been unable to photograph this card, without the layout looking totally squint!!!....I promise you I have measured everything, and it is all perfectly straight....but for some reason the camera like to make it look lopsided!!..............so frustrating!!!

I have been playing with my new Leanne Ellis stamps again.....I definitely think Alice will be a firm favourite, and inked time and time again, I have coloured with copics.I have used a few papers from that never ending scrap pile of mine, some I have embossed and colour tinted with "Distress ink - spun sugar". The Sentiment is from the fab Stamp set that I received from Stephanie. Finally I have punched some snowflakes and added some glitter and a few gems & a bit of ribbon........quite a C&S look to this one.

Guest Designer for Sugar Nellie

OH MY GOODNESS WOW!!!!!!!

I still cant quite believe I am putting this post together! I Visited The House of Sugar a few weeks ago, and a moment that I have to admit I have fantasized about actually happened......I walked into the shop and Karen asked me to be a guest designer!!!!! Not only that I got to play with a set of stamps from my ultimate Favourite designer, Leanne Ellis!!! well I could hardly contain my excitement!! Unfortunately the rubber arrived while I was away on holiday.....as soon as I got back I sat down and got all inky!!!! I am so excited, and incredibly nervous, I really want to do these fab images justice.....I have tried my best, and I guess that is all I can ask of myself...so here goes.......


I think of all the things I have made this is my favourite....I love Leanne's interpretation of Alice..isn't she gorgeous!!! The background paper, I have printed from "Debbie Moore - Venetian masks" cd...the little clocks are from a set of stamps that I bought from QVC forever ago....and I have used my new cuttlebug corner...which is one of my holiday purchases.



This card started as the mad hatters tea party, and I was going to have all the characters on it, however in the end, I preferred it with just Alice. The Template is "Craftwork Cards" as are all the scalloped cards I have used! The tea pots and cups, are from the same stamp set of my previous card & the papers are K&Co. I have inked all the edges with "distress ink - shabby shutters" I have added another layer of lace to her dress using a Martha Stewart punch, the edges have been inked with "distress ink - Tumbled Glass"


Now I have to be honest...I love this image, But I do not like this card.....I made this the after travelling all day, unpacking e.c.t, and I was desperate to make a start. I made my first Alice card, and then this one just did not really go to plan, I was too tired and should have really gone to bed...the idea in my head was that the queen of hearts is an over the top character and I decided to bling her all up, but I don't like the results....


As I said I did not feel I had done this image justice, and so I had to have another go. I have kept this one very simple. The sentiment is a "basic Grey" stamp.


This is one card I had no idea of what I was doing when I started, but actually by the time I finished I really liked it. All the papers are from my scrap pile. I have again coloured with my copics and I have used some flocking to create some texture.


I suddenly noticed all my samples were with scalloped cards...they just go so perfectly with these images, I was naturally drawn to them. So I had to challenge myself to so something different, I did not want all the samples to be samey, but to have different styles.......the one thing about the mad hatter, you can go crazy with the colour!!!! I have used some "Bo Bunny" paper, and more papers from my scrap pile!


This is my first attempt at a gift bag...so its not the best sample in the world. I used this template
The paper is from my scrap pile...yes it was a big scrap!!!! Again I have used fun Flock to add a bit of texture. The sentiment is a "Dawn Bibby" stamp.


and finally we have this little chap!...I have had these notpads in for ages, you get a pack of 10 from the pound shop...I used the left over paper from my first card....and I have made a little shrinkie charm...I am not very good with shrinkys...I always think people do such creative things with them, I always think mine look a bit armatureish. the colouring is a bit dodgy and the finish is wobbly!.....but I guess I should keep trying, practice makes perfect! and that's it!!!

I hope I have managed to make something you all like.....you definitely have to get these stamps, for more details, check out the Sugar Nellie Blog they are just so much fun to play with, and I can see me using them time and time again!!!

Finally I do have to say a HUGE THANK YOU to the lovely Karen, for this amazing opportunity, I have absolutely loved it, and it is such an honour for my first ever guest designer spot to be for my favourite stamp company!! Thank you!!!!!!

Now I am sure after such a long post you will all be gasping for a coffee!! hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

First Time with Kraft

Hello All,

Well as you may have gathered from the title, this is my first time using kraft....I always admire how you fabulous crafters use it, but I had not yet had a go myself....I tried using pencils but I don't have prisma ones, and so the ones I had were just unable to colour on the Kraft, so I stuck with using copics, and I think It worked ok. I have added some papers from that scrap pile of mine! they are "K&Co - Amy Butler" papers.

This is a simple card, I coloured the image quickly, but it was one of those cards that I kept pulling apart and putting back together..........so it seemed to take forever to get nowhere!!! I like the way the image turned out, but I am not keen on the overall card!

Passing on the crafting bug

Hello All,

A really simple card from me tonight. I had a friend over this evening, she has said to me in the past that she loves buying colouring books for her friends children, and then secretly hopes that they will let her colour in with them. I said that she should totally get into card making, as it is really just colouring, sticking & playing with glitter glue, but for grown ups!!!

As I did not want to overwhelm her with everything, I just put out a few stamps, some pens and a small selection of paper, an then tried to keep it simple.....we had a good laugh, and I came up with this simple creation.

The image is a fabulous Leanne Ellis one from Sugar Nellie......(P.S got to visit the house of sugar on Friday, and will be going again next week! I will be helping a friend spend her money, as I really need to be good, I am going on holiday soon....Also I am booked in for a class in November, so excited, I have never done a card making class before!!!)......The image has been coloured using my "Whispers" water colour pens. The paper is from my scraps. I have punched a few little flowers and added some gems.

Being Thankful in the Sugar Bowl

Hello All,

This is my entry for the sugar bowl....In all honesty when I saw the sketch for this fortnights sugarbowl challenge, I wanted to run screaming in the opposite direction!!! I don't know why I never seem to get on too well with sketches, when I make a card it normally evolves as I make it, and I can find sketches a little restrictive, However I just Love sugar nellie..they are my all time favourite company for stamp designs, I am also lucky enough to live close enough to pop into the house of sugar from time to time.....so for all those reasons I decided rather than pick and choose what challenges I like and don't like, I would actually challenge myself with something I don't feel comfortable with!............I am not sure about the results, but hey ho I gave it a go!

I have chosen a fab Leanne Ellis design, it is an old one, but one I reach for time and time again! (I know there are some new Leanne Ellis designs in the pipeline!!...cant wait!!!!!) I have coloured it with my copics.

As I mentioned I was nervous about the sketch, partly because it just had so many layers, so I have limited myself to one sheet of paper and some white card, so that I would not get myself too tied in knots about getting all the layers looking right together. the paper is "Magenta - Artful Flowers"...all the edges have been inked with "Distress ink - shabby shutters"

Finally I have made some flowers, using "Tim Holtz - tattered florals" and an "x-cut" flower punch, and I have added a few gems, which have also been coloured with copics to colour coordinate.

Well, I think I have waffled on far to much now...this is my entry for:

Keeping It Simple

Hello All,

How are you all, hope you enjoyed a good weekend! Today I challenged myself to keep it simple..I love this gorgeous Leanne Ellis design....as yet she has not been inked up, shocking!!! Now I have had a play I am full of more ideas....

Anyway for this one, I have just coloured the image with my copic's..I have created a decoupage effect to give a little dimension, and I have added a little glitter. I now finally own a Martha Steward punch, I have used it here to give a fancy edge, and added a touch of ribbon.

Not my normal look, so I am not completely sure of the results.

Not Sure.......

Hi All,

Thank you all for your supportive comments regarding my lost mojo, and for all the fab tips....hope I get it back soon, I have those 5 new paper stacks to play with!!! I have eventually managed to make a card, but I am really not happy with it....so I am being brave and showing it here!!

I have used one of my new paper stacks "colorbok - moonlight".......and this fab Leanne Ellis stamp, can you believe this is the first time I have inked her?!!! I have been so busy making things with her sister stamp that she has been neglected! I have coloured with copics and added a little stickes.

I have made the flowers using my new spellbinder dies, the ribbon was in my stash, and I have hand stitched it down with a little embroidery thread.

As a quick p.s - also thank you for your encouraging words regarding the weight loss programme. I have tried before, but I am feeling very motivated at the mo, so I think that hopefully it will happen this time! Last week I lost 6lb....I am trying to cut down portion size and I have been exercising a bit more....I have been doing the 30 day challenge on the EA active on the wii - its a great programme I would recommend. I have done my workout on that today, and plan to go to the gym tonight to do a body attack class......only 2 stone 8lb to go!!.......maybe I should offer candy when I reach my target weight!!......

Lost Mojo

Hi All,

I am sharing with you a card I made before I went off on holiday as it feels like it has been ages since I have posted anything here. I made this card using a gorgeous Leanne Ellis design, which was coloured with copics. The Paper is "Papermania - Hint of pink".

I think I have left my Mojo in White Rock.....it probably prefers the weather over there!!!! I got on the scales when I got back from holiday, I knew within myself that it would not be good, but I am the heaviest I have ever been and need to loose about 3 stone to reach a healthy BMI...so I have been working really hard, eating healthy and doing work outs.......after a workout I would come into my craftroom and plan to have a play but I could not get my head round what to do. Last night I set aside the whole evening....I was making a card for ages, but I don't like it, then I just gave up and watched Dr Who!........hopefully it will come back soon and I can post a bit more regularly!

Hugs Juls
