Fabric stencils and suede effect paint - what fun!

Morning!

Well, here I am, with no paper crafting in sight!

Through the summer I had the wonderful opportunity to have a play with the new Pebeo setacolor fabric paints and these were the new suede effect paints (although we have used all setacolor fabric paints on these samples too, not just suede effect).

I know a lot of people are put off of playing on fabric but if you treat it like a blank piece of paper or card stock and just use products suited to fabric, your confidence will grow, trust me, I was exactly the same at first too!!!!

Here I was given a white plain lampshade, a white plain cushion cover and a cream calico tote bag and look what I came up with!

I loved it!

Mid month reminder for Penny Black and More Challenges - Make it Feminine....

Good morning!

Here I am with the mid month reminder for Penny Black and More Challenges for the theme this month which is "Make it Feminine".

For this creation I have kept things very feminine with a pink theme and roses!

My sun/moon has come out rather dark in my photo but it's a beautiful shiny mirrored pink card - impossible with a camera!

I have used Penny Black sets 40-511 Crimson Blush, 30-457 .....So Loved, 30-416 Happy Thoughts and 30-095 Flower Festival.

Alcohol pens and ink pads have coloured the images and background.

Hope you can come and join us at Penny Black and More Challenges and remember NO DIGITAL IMAGES ALLOWED please.

It was Christmas in July!!!???

Morning!!

Well, back in July, as always happens, we all kick off with the sale of Christmas stamps and goodies!

Sheena Douglass was no exception and I was sent some lovely Christmas stamps to have a play with and I've posted three of them here for you.

I've used a combination of products throughout these, the first one having had sparkle pens the second  one has had distress oxides and the last one is also distress oxides.

That last one shows that these are not just for Christmas, I made this one in to a Congratulations card so suitable for a winter wedding, a Christening or even an anniversary card?

Hope you like them,

Thanks for stopping by,

New Theme at Penny Black and More Challenges - Make it Feminine.....

Good morning!

Here I am with a new theme over at Penny Black and More Challenges and this month it's "Make it Feminine!".

My thoughts for making it feminine here were the two fabulous female friends - looks like a girlie shopping trip to me!

I had great fun on this card using Penny Blacks stamp set 40-429 Fab Friend.  Other sets used are 30-284 Sprigs, 51-181 Love is Growing die set (which I have also used the cut out piece as a stencil too - so positive and negative used), and 30-095 Flower Festival.

I coloured in with alcohol markers and ink pads using a foam applicator.

Do come and join us at Penny Black and More Challenges for a new months challenge - there are prizes to be won!
