A Kimmie Scrapling

I thought this would happen...I have become totally addicted to scraplings!! This is one I have made using a Krafting Kimmie stamp! I have used some " We are memory Keepers - Tiffanys" The papers have a gorgeous distressed look, but I have sanded them down a little to add to the effect.

The image has been coloured using a combo of copic's and my whisper pens. I didn't have quite the right coloured thread for the stitching detail, so I have used 3 stands of a red and 3 strands of an orange together..think it has worked ok.

Sorry about the shadow on the photo...I was forced to use my flash as I left it too late to take the photo!

I plan to enter this card into the following challenges:

365 cards - Day 272 (crossing the line)

The Pixie Cottage - Get Stitchy

The Paper Cutz - Anything goes

Copic Advice

Hi All,

I sold quite a few cards last week, Just to friends and family..anyway from the proceeds I have enough to buy myself a 36 Copic set.

I have had a quick look on tinternet, and now I am totally confused. As there is set A, B, C, & D.

I currently have 5 copics E00 & E21 (for skin tone) and C1, C5, & C7 (For Monochrome)

I was just wondering if anyone had advice on which set would be the best to get first!

Thanks for your help! Hugs Juls

Animal Antics

Hi all, Hope you have had a good weekend! I have had visitors over the weekend, and I have another lot arriving on Thursday so I have not been bale to pop round and comment as much as I would have liked to.

This is my entry for Simon Says The theme this week is Animal Antics.

I have used a "house mouse" image which was sent to me by a friend and I have coloured it using my whispers pens. All the edges have bee tinted using "Distress ink - worn Lipstick & Shabby shutters" The background paper is "K&Co - Amy Butler- Sola collection" the little sentiment is also from "K&Co" I have done some Faux stitching..the twine wrapped round the card is DMC ( left over from a cross stitch I was working on ) and I have also used it to do some stitching on the image!

This is my first attempt at this style of handmade flower..I have added some dewdrops to the centre of the flower.

and that's about it....

Scraplings

This Is My Entry for Daring Card Makers the challenge there is Scraplings! Making cards out of the left over card we use for our main cards. As most of you probably have seen I always seem to end up making square cards, and these have been made using that silly scrap bit that has been left over.

I have to say that I really enjoyed making these and have become quite addicted!! I think this may be a new fav of mine!!

here's a closer look:


I Have used some "DCWV - Le Creme" paper, and the little image is "Crafty Individuals - Miniatures people and places" then I have added a couple of Prima Flowers and " Kanban - Gems "

This is another one, made with the same elements as the 1st one.

Finally, again the same papers and image..but I have used a "Hedi Swapp - Swirl Stamp" In the corner.

This is a little different from my usual style but I quite like them...hope you do too!! hugs Juls

Simon Say's "Thinking of you"

Just a quick post from me tonight. This is My entry for Simon Says I have used "DCWV - Le Creme" Paper. I had some paper flowers but not the right colour so I covered with a "Brilliance" ink pad, and colour tinted the edge of the paper, added some black and red coloured gems, and finally a peel off Thinking of you sentiment!!

I finally got round to ordering myself some Krafting Kimmie Stamps, they arrived today..I am so excited, the only thing is we have got visitors coming so I am not going to get much time to craft! but hopefully It will not be to long before I am back to show you the results!

hugs to you all Juls
