If the shoe fits

This is not the best of pictures but thought I'd post it anyway.  Yet more of the red pearlised card ( I love it but nearly run out now must try to find some more dark coloured pearly cardstock)

Need less to say the shoe is a Clarity stamp and I just coloured them in with various dye based ink pads and a water brush.  I printed the writing from the computer before I started stamping

Ali's 40th

Hi

Going to a 40th birthday party tonight so here is the card I made whilst at the craft club yesterday held at my local craft shop:
craftrange Burnley

We always have a lovely afternoon chatting and some crafting goes on but not as much as there is talking going on (LOL) I did however manage to make this one.  I pierced around the edge of the base and stuck a pearl in each corner.  I embossed the centre panel and inked with an adirondak ink pad.  I only have a cuttlebug so did two halves and hid them behind the ribbon. ( Up there for thinking down there for dancing).  Cut out, inked and stamped the sentiment.  The red cut out is made up from two different dies then stuck together.  The flowers are made from ribbon and I stuck in a couple of hat pins for good measure.

Flutterby Butterly

    I stamped the base card in the corners with versa mark and added mica powders.  I did the same with the inner oval.  The outer oval was "distressed" with versa mark and I also put mica powder on that - just to make it all tie together really.  I cut two butterflies from a cheery lynn die and a little flower from spellbinders These I embossed with a couple of layers of mica embossing powder as is the leaf a gem for the middle and there you have it.

birdhouse

Another card from my stash.  The bird house stamp was free with a magazine the frame around was made by cutting two flourishes  from a cheery Lynn die.  the border is made from a fleur de lis spellbinder die but I cut off the pointy bits!!!

Not made any cards so far this week as been getting ready for a craft fair but I'd better get a riddle on as a few birthdays coming up !!

DIAMOND MASK

This card was made with my monthly stamp from the Clarity Stamp project club.  The mask arrived this month and the diamonds are from a previous edition.  The music is a stamp from inkylicous that I stamped at a jaunty angle the diamonds on the music are stamped in black using both first and second generation inking.  The diamonds on the black part have been embossed with silver.

Lattice work

Took hubby away for a few days for his birthday so no crafting or blogging done.  However have arrived home now so I thought I'd post one from my "stash".

This is a Sue Wilson inspired card.  I even pierced around the edge!! I embossed the background using mask and inked through it before removing it.  I cut a fancy circle and cut the middle out with a plain circle twice.  I cut some strips and wove them through like lattice work and stuck to one of the rings.  I then covered the edges with the other ring.  Cut a couple of smaller fancy circles and inked through the smallest one.  I made the flowers and put some "pearls" in the middle.  Hat pins made from jewellery head pins threaded with some beads, tied a bow from matching ribbon - job done.

last of the men

Hi two last cards for men.  I imported line drawings into Desk top publisher and then recoloured the line drawings and manipulated the sizes.

For the first one I printed it onto white card and then painted it with distress ink.  I then inked up the edges of an acrylic block and spritzed it with water after cleaning the middle with kitchen roll I then pressed the block over the car thus leaving a rectangle which I cut out once dry.  I uteed the whole thing then froze it for 10 mins before cracking the glaze.  I matted and layered on brown then  fawn coloured core card torn at the edges.  the printed paper is some Tim Holtz.

Printed the image as above but then cut out with die. distressed the edges.  Printed the words on the brown card and then onto cream card but this time manipulated the word journey by using the emboss and outline function.  found a strip of Tim Holtz paper for the backing.


I am struggling with uploading my pics sometimes whilst they look the right way up in my phone and my lap top I sometimes have to make them upside down on my computer to get them to come up the right way on blog. Any ideas anybody?
