oooh la la!

lace, glitter and double sided sticky sheet!

Thats what was used at card class to
make this beautiful glitter lace effect
on both cards, with a bodice template.

I didn't get this one finished....
too much laughing!
I still have the greeting that says
something French to be layered
and stuck on.
And I have two wee gems to add
to my suspender belts!!!
*blush*

Can I also had you have to be careful
where you apply the lace to so you don't
end up with big flowers over the bust area
or it looks a bit too rude!

Second card is a bit more classy!

Same lace as a template but on cream card
and made into a ball gown with gold & white
glitter to make the lacy panel.

Narrow cream ribbon for a sash or belt on the dress.

Now trying the living room window sill
for taking my photos as the summer sun
was pouring through there.
Not great but will do the job.


Talking about cheeky......

I know I haven't got that bit weeded.
or tied back the daffodil leaves
but.......Had to show you this!

*sigh*

Am on late shift today so best get myself
organised and ready for work!
Love teen xx

two makes for tuesday

I love card class, time to craft with others
trying out new techniques.

these two we made this week

are two of my fave !

Excuse the blue kirby grip ....
It is just to hold it together while I took the picture.

These great wee sea gulls we used
were die cuts June took in for us.
Living near the sea I don't like seagulls much,
they steal food including once from our BBQ
dive bomb locals including children
and small animals ! !
But these are cracking !!

The image is stamped in versa mark
then coloured using chalks.
I have not worked with chalks before but am hooked!

The black card circle & image is cut out using
nesties and edged using a gold marker pen.

The white thread is ment to be in a reef knot.
But I pulled it a wee bit hard and you don't see the knot so well.

I carried on the black card with gold edging
inside on the smaller fold of this gate fold card.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My second card is a template card.
We used grey metalic card & mirror card for
the spout & the top bitty.

We used a green ink pad to age the pot.
which is curled a wee bit to make it more 3-D
The leaves are placed behind & over the pot.

I love the wee plant pot and leaves.
We used ink pad to age the pot.
The seed packet and spilling seeds as just dinky.
It has actual seeds glued onto the card.

I enjoyed both these cards.

laptops back!!

Lap top is home! and all fixed! wooooo hooooooo!
So time to up-date what I have been working one the last two days.....

This one is for Magnolia V's Stampavie challenge which this week is clean and simple.
You can use only three colours.

So here is my cream, blue and dark brown.
It is really not my usual style but I think it looks ok.

This one is using a soft centre stamp from Sugar Nellie stamp that I got in an image swap.
The sketch is by Dawny P and is for Papertake Weekly Challenge.

And this one is using the template I bought at card class the other week.
I have used cut out ivy leaves instead of holly and under the yellow post it note is a tiny envelope that has our friends new address on it, obviously I don't want to advertise that here.




And lastly is a wee sneeky peep at a card I have done as DT member for Crafty Muse....
which are safely under wraps for the time being,




but go check out the blog and come and join us on this fortnights challenge. xxx


Am off to go get Emma for card class. Will check out everyones blogs when I get home xxx

Tuesday's card class makes

Well last night's card class was much more enjoyable for me...cause I stayed awake this week!
Can't believe that I fell asleep there last week due to illness & disturbed nights.

We made again made a couple of cards but I can only show you one as the other one is for someone who reads this blog and needs to be kept hidden for a wee while.

but here is my Christmas pudding card....

I will put a peel off or a sentiment on the red plinth.

And you cant see it but the icing or butter brandy over the pudding is glittery.....

I bought the template to make this and you can use it for all sorts.
This is the template I used.....

I will make some more hopefully over the next few days.
Am planning to go round to Emma's over the next few days to get the Troops appeal cards that we have received sorted out.

THANK YOU for all the cards we have so far!!!!

Remember they have to be in before first of October.
