Smile

Hi everyone, I have been playing with some goodies that I got from Santa and would like to share with you the card that I made.


On my card I have used Stitched Rounded Rectangles from MFT and the Lawn Fawn stamp set 'Blissful Botanicals" with the coordinating dies.  These are available from Bizzy Becs online store here.   I coloured the images with Copic Markers and added a little butterfly from a pack of Petaloo mini butterflies.  I have not done a lot of colouring lately with my Copic Markers, so it was good to get back into a project that was quite simple to colour and I love the finished effect.



Thank you for visiting.
Carolyn.

a vintage christmas card

Hi Everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with loved ones. Today I would like to share with you a card I made for a friend of mine. I decided to go with a neutral pallete and a vintage theme.
I have embossed the background and mounted this on a contrasting layer. 
The candle die had three candles together but this was too large so I have just cut off the extra two giving me a nice simple look. 




I have mounted the holly die cut on foam tape and finished off with some stickles around the top of the candle, a few pearls stuck down on the ends of the vines help to add a nice soft contrast.


Memory box dies used: 
holly bouquet, pillar candle trio and victorian frame.




Don't forget to have a look at Bizzy Becs online store to pre-order these products and so much more.

Be a Rainbow

Hi everyone,

Today I would like to share with you a page that I recently completed in my art journal.  I had a play with the Dylusions Ink Sprays  that are available as a pre order at Bizzy Becs online store here.


The colours used were, Bubblegum Pink, Lemon Zest, Fresh Lime, Squeezed Orange, Vibrant Turquoise,  London Blue and White Linen, these were sprayed onto a napkin background and spritzed with lots of water.

The focal image is a stamp to which I have hand drawn shoulders and is from Darkroom Door.  It is a Line Art Stamp and whilst it  is not currently available in the store, if you email Bec she will let you know if it can be ordered in.



Don't forget the coupon sale has been extended to the 31st October 2014 and your codes can be used three times, whoo hoo!   There are also some new dies been added to the store so pop over and have a look.

Happy crafting
