Time well spent

I had a lovely time last night playing in my craft room .Here is a technique using heat & stick powder & glitter.cut out an oval shape from scrap paper to create my oval shape placed it on to whisper white CS and stamped my image from time well spent colored the bike in with my markers ( I LOVE MY MARKERS) they have so many uses.then with my oval template still in place i used my versamark and inked the pad directly on to the CS, before it dried i sprinkled heat & stick powder then heated with my heat tool until melted sprinkled the glitter over while the powder was still hot then reheated for about 10 seconds to set . I finished the card of by attaching a felt flower with a brad in the middle the flowers can be found in the summer mini, & some ribbon rose red again ,summer mini these ribbon come in three popular colors rose red, bashful blue &chocolate chip they are 2.5cm wide and double stitched of course I had to have one of each as they go with so many things. hope you like my card i will be back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Time well spent with loads of love

Here is a card i made using the words & the seat from the stamp set Time well spent the flowers & trees are from the stamp set Loads of love. This is what did I stamped all images using Stazon on to confetti white CS everything was coloured using my markers the fine end of the marker was used for the flowers ,the seat & trees I used my Auqa painters & the fat end of my markers to apply color I added some dazzling diamonds with the 2 way glue pen to finish of the card. I think this card is really cute when I got the time well spent Set I was a bit stuck on what I would do with the seat so this is one idea & i have a few more floating around in my head.

For the Postman

Whoops I nearly forgot our postman !!! so I quickly made this card for him the main image is stamped onto watercolor paper using the stamp from loads of love. The mail box I drew by hand

then I water colored using my markers and aqua Painters. Yes our letter box does look like this and we live done 8 kms of dirt road our postman has done a great job delivering our mail as the road is having major works on it and at one stage I thought we had lost our mail box as it was shifted and it was a bit of a drama to get the mail so thank you MR Mail man as I have received some beautiful cards which I have proudly hanging near our Christmas tree.

Ok sorry I have been a Bad blogger haven't been here to show you anything for days.

The large tree up the top was for a center piece for a Christmas Dinner with friends. Its quiet tall made from 2 12x12 CS the base is half a sheet of 12x12 cut into a triangle. The star on top is made from the stampin up star punch.I made a garland to decorate the tree and then baubles which I wrote the names of our guests on and scattered them around the tree.

I also made little tree name cards to match and inside placed a golden coin chocolate.

For father

Another card made with the stamp set For Father from the summer mini
I love this stamp set as I love water coloring using aqua painters & markers. Ive also created Faux floor boards as I think it goes nicely with this card A bit of paper tearing & a jumbo eyelet was added to finish the card.

Friendly Flowers

This card is made with the stamp set friendly Flowers

Pg 7 of the summer mini.I used earth elements markers to color these stamps .

DON'T FORGET the single markers are still able to be ordered for $4.95 each until Dec 14th.

I punched out the stamped images using scallop & circle Punch's.

Ribbon is old Olive , the dots across the bottom is the jumbo wheel Lots of dots Pg 7 using more mustard ink cartridge. If you haven't used markers direct to stamps have a play its great fun . Over the next few weeks I will be posting cards from the Summer mini , so i hope you come back often maybe get some ideas.XX

In the Stars

This card was made using the stamp set In the stars Pg 14 summer mini.
