Pile It On Challenge 66

 I am sorry I have been missing I have not been at all well but seem to be recovering now thankfully, I have a few cards to post which I will do tomorrow. This time at Pile It On we are looking to see you use a pattern in more than one way.

 My sister has moved house so I wanted something to give as a little something for her new house. I had bought a plain chipboard frame, and could see this in my head or a version of anyway. I used some dotty decopatch paper and covered the frame. I used some gold buff it to go round the edges to give it that gilded look, this was much easier then using gilding flakes. I raided my stash of flowers and went to town with them. I used some if the dotty paper for some of my flowers as well. I cut lots of cream Gerber type flowers on my Silhouette. I cur some flourishes and

 I was looking at the scrap and though that would make a nice stencil so that's what I did with it. I mixed the buff it with a little water and used some blending foam to dab the solution through my cut outs to create the background for my vinyl letters. My sister has sight issues so I needed a strong contrast that she will be able to see. 

This is a close up of some of the flowers, you can see the cream pointy flowers that created my new stencil.

Pile It On Challenge 64

Hello again, this time I am posting for Pile It On and we would like to see your creations with fancy frames or beautiful borders. We are sponsored by the wonderful

and we have a prize of $7 gift certificate available. I choose We Wish You a Merry Christmas stamp.

I coloured the image with my pens, I used some double sided sheet to attach the die cut borders cut from a scarp of gold paper and the stamp plate. I knew the tape would hold the edge of the border I had stuck down so I could leave one edge a little freer. I used glamour dust all over the rest to create my glittered background. This was a first for me and I really like the effect.

Crafting From The Heart

Hello again, I know I am late again, but I was not very well and unable to get to the pc to do my post, feeling a bit better now though thank goodness. 

This time we are sponsored by the fabulous Oakpond Creations and I choose the lovely reading rabbits. 

 I decided to make a gift bag as I don't really send Easter cards but I do give Easter gifts.

I coloured the image with my pens, Spectrum Noir and Promarkers looking at it now I should have gone darker with my rabbits but they look good in real life. I used some scraps from my box for the mats of gold and orange. I embossed a piece of green card and used spiced marmalade distress ink to pick out the embossing.

I went with the lovely Spring Bestie, I coloured her with my Spectrum Noir and ProMarker pens, I used some free paper from a magazine which just dropped in the door as I was thinking about which ones to use.

Pile It On Challenge 56 Butterflies

Hello Again, for some reason Blogger ate my last post so hoping this one behaves itself. This time I am posting for Pile It On and we would like to see Butterflies. We are sponsored by the wonderful A Day for Daisies and they are offering a prize of 3 digi stamps of your choice. 

I was able to choose Valentines Hoppity. I just love the little rabbit having a chat with his butterfly friend. 

I cut the image out with my Silhouette and coloured it with my Spectrum Noir pens.

 I have been doing some online colouring classes at Kit and Clowder and I think my colouring is improving I was trying really hard to make his ears look like they were on top of his body not sure if I have got it quiet right

I was hoping this one would show the glitter on the butterfly but it does not seem to have worked. It is there I promise. I embossed the card and swiped it with some green distress ink and  used a piece of paper from my stash. I wanted something in the corners but wasn't sure what then I remembered my peel off corners so they have had an airing as well.

Pile It On Music

 Hello again, another week another post, this time for Pile It on and we would love to see your creations with music. We are sponsored this time by the fabulous Dr Digi and I choose Mood Music. I love the idea of a girl and her dog making music together even if no one else appreciates it.

I coloured the image with my Spectrum Noir Pencils this time. I know it still needs improvement but I am really pleased with it I used some plain card to create the mats and swiped with some distress inks except the first one I used some more pencil and blended it in.
I had some Tim Holtz music tissue tape which I thought was just the thing to give the card some decoration, a few gems and viola.

A close up of the image, it's the first time I have done skin with pencils and I can see it needs ore shadows but I like the look.

Pile It On Something Edible

Well I promised to blog more regularly this year and here is my first post of the New Year so Happy New Year to you all.

This time at Pile It On we are asking for something edible. Our sponsor this time is the fabulous Bug A Boo. I choose this Rottweiler puppy with bone as I can see him being used for so many of my family members. Yes we are all dog lovers.

I coloured him with my Spectrum Noir pens and although I haven't been posting I have been crafting and been trying to improve with my pens.  I know I have work to do but I was pretty pleased with him. I used some packaging I kept from a Christmas present in 2013 as I knew it would come in handy for something and this was it. I used some scrap black to mount the brown card and to cut the words. I wanted the cute dog to be the focus so kept it nice and simple. Some gardening twine to tie it on and viola all done. 

This is a close up I love his face.
