Colouring with purple...

Colouring with purple is the theme this month over on the Spectrum Noir Challenge. Here is some inspiration for you with the card that I came up with..




A very clean and simple card for me and wasn't too sure at first but was pleased with the end result. I used a digi image from Saturated Canary printed onto Neenah card stock. Here is a close up with a list of the Spectrum Noirs used..




PURPLE- LV1, LV2 & LV3
Jacket- CG10, CG8 & CG6
Skirt- CG6, CG4 & CG2
Skin- TN3, TN2, FS9 & TN1 PP3 for cheeks.
I hope you can join in with us for this months challenge you will find more details, the rules and somewhere to link your card here. Good luck!

A little box set...

Well it seems I have travelled back in time and it is winter again...where is the sun!?! Lol.

Today I have a box set of cards to share using the fabulous Diary of an Edwardian Lady brought to you from Crafter's Companion.

The box I made using Centura pearl card and my Boxer board.

I used some of the bonus papers from the Natures Notes cd rom to decorate the box.



Now onto the inside of the box...



Each card is made using a sheet from the topper and embellishment section on the Nature notes cd, along with corresponding month on the Edwardian Lady cd. Here are the cards.

January & February



March & April



May & June



July & August



September & October



November & December

Party with Bamboo

Today I have a card to share using one of my favourite Party Paws stamps. I was asked to make a birthday card for a friends Mum so decided to use this one..

The stamp is called Party with Bamboo. The papers used on the card are from Which Craft and the pad is called Rose Garden which you can get here. I used the Enchanted Spring frame die from Crafter's Companion and also made a flower using Lace Flower quilling die and Small Camelia quilling die. I stamped the image onto Neenah card stock and of course coloured the image in using my Spectrum Noir pens to colour the image in.

Here is a close up with a list of colours used...

Shoe= DR7, DR6, CR11 & CR9, sole of shoe TN1, TN2, & TN3, BGR1, BGR2 & blender
Bamboo= IG10, IG8, IG6
Flower= CT4, CT2, & CT1 GB10 & GB8

Diary of an Edwardian Lady and Natures notes album

Good morning all! Did you all catch the first of the Four Day Deal shows this morning with Sara on Create and Craft? Sara will be back with more live shows today at 1 0'clock and 6 0'clock so be sure to tune in.

Today I have something a little different to share, rather than a card I decided to make a mini album which shows some of the elements available on both of the cd roms.

 

I had great fun decorating this album, the base of the album itself is made using Centura Pearl. I used papers from the Natures Notes which are actually bonus papers and are AMAZING!! Each page then is decorated with a mixture of toppers and embellishments from both cd roms. I even cut into some of the embellishments cutting out the butterflies. I also used Die'sire Quilling dies to make a flower for the first page plus Die'sire lace border 6 for the edges for two of the pages. Finished with different ribbons, lace, bling and some kraft card stock I was happy with how it came out.

 

As well as the live shows today there will also be some tomorrow which are at 9am and 4pm, where there will be lots of demos and inspiration :0)

Sneak peek of Natures Notes

Good morning I am here today with another sneak peek from the upcoming Four day deal which Sara will be launching tomorrow.

Today's card is using the Natures Note's cd rom...



This card is made using a topper sheet from the month of may section along with elements from an embellishment sheet which also coordinates. I used some backing paper from the month of May on the Edwardian Lady cd rom, which match perfectly.

I will be back later today with another card to share :0)

Diary of an Edwardian Lady

Good afternoon!! I am here today with a sneak peek from a new range which Crafter's Companion will be launching as a four day deal on Create and Craft on Monday 20th May.

I must admit I really enjoyed making these samples and I still have ideas for more things to make, so watch this space!!



This card is made using some toppers from the month of May along with some coordinating papers also from May.



The papers on this cd are stunning!! There is so much to chose from. As well as the Diary of an Edwardian Lady cd rom there will also be a Natures Notes cd rom which is equally as beautiful!! I will be sharing samples from both CDs over the next few days.

Camden town

Hi there I'm sure by now most of you will of seen the brand new range from Crafter's Companion. A beautiful papercraft kit with some gorgeous stamps to match, they really are lovely. The first card that I am going to share is a Dawn Wheeler inspired card :0)



There is a female kit and Male kit to chose from....or just get both!! Lol.

I started by scoring some card stock on my Boxer board at 1", 2", 4", 6" and 9". I then scored some of the acetate in half and stuck to the card, ready to decorate.



I stuck some of the toppers both on the card and the acetate and decorated the base also with some of the papers. Don't forget to tune into create and craft to see the POTW shows :0)
