Pink and Black – Love Bug

Here is a totally cute creation from Chelle. I love that little guy, I love all the shades of pink you’ve used Chelle. Beautiful!!

Week 9 – Colour Challenge with bling!

This week is a colour combo challenge which must also contain bling. Your allowed colours are Pink and Black.

Here is mum’s card she has used some Bella diecut butterflies, 3 lovely bling flowers, a clear glaze pen to draw the stems. The fancy edges are made with a punch and the punch outs were painted over because they looked too light.

  
Here is my ATC, I found this theme hard. I don’t work with either colour often :O I stamped out the Tim Holtz clowns and Cirque stamp (word one was embossed with distressing embossing powder) I placed a strip of bling at the top and one in the middle of the ATC on the embossed cardstock (embossed with my new folder that I bought with birthday voucher from my best mate). Added the ribbon and brad for a little extra effect.

Good luck with this challenge. I hope to see lots of entries!!

Great Techniques!

It has been a busy topsy-turvy week this week! Firstly, Elizabeth was away in Queensland on a mini break, and didn’t get home till the Monday.As things began to settle down when along came Wednesday! In the afternoon, Elizabeth  her partner Michael, and I were in my car, driving to the local scrap-book shop. We were ploughed into from behind by a woman driver. Just minor injuries to us, but my car was written off.  :( So things are seriously behind …. but enough of that

Now to this week’s lovely ATCs

 

First is Leesa’s cute owl ATC. Such soft background colours….. done with alcohol inks. Leesa has put details of how to make those sweet flowers and that really great branch on her blogsite. I am going to try them soon! 

Next we have this lovely ATC from Margaret. Margaret has use what is one of my favourite techniques which is collage. I love the butterfly covering the lady’s modesty!

 

The third one is Marla’s really cool ATC. She has achieved the kaleidoscope effect by using  Photoshop elements. This was done with one photo of a pelican, you can read all about it in Marla’s email to the group.

Last but not least is Chelle’s entry. Her creative flair at the moment is Motivational ATC’s. I am loving the quote!! I (Liz) need it this week!!

Week 8- Your Favourite Technique/s

This week is all about the technique or techniques you love doing! Maybe you like alcohol inks, or watercolour pencils, stamping, or what about quilling? This is your week to shine, maybe you can describe what you have done, so the rest of us can have a go too.

 

I couldn’t choose just one, so I did four! I did the baking paper technique (we use baking paper rather than the craft sheet) (watch video from 1.55), stamping, inking and paper tearing.

 

Elizabeth used grunging, inking and stamping, she also used a home made glimmer mist type spray.

This weeks winner, who is getting a little ‘love’ is Marla, Michael picked your name out.Elizabeth will organise some goodies when she get home from Brisbane.
Great job on all those love cards ladies, I promise no more romance themes for a LONG time!!!!

Sweet, Sweet Love

 

De blogging here!

The first bit of sweet love is from Marla. Marla has placed a cherub on a cuttlebug background, and used silver embellishments 

This next bit of love is from Sam. Sam has again used a cuttlebug background for her tag shaped ATC. A flower decorated with Sam’s signature “stickles” is the centrepiece. Linda has made this lovely ATC with the arched doorway and two cute little love-birds

Linda’s Home

This is Linda’s ATC, isn’t it grand? The two views are her front and back view, the house is actually a drawing of their home.

Dragonfly Dream

Here is Linda’s lovely Pagemap from week 6. It feels very oriental to me. Love those papers, and the little flower punchouts are very cute!
