Lots of Books - My lovely escape

Hello my Crafty Friends!

Today is a very special day indeed.  Its my daughters Birthday! (it was yesterday when I wrote this but forgot to post) 

Every year I make her a card and try to find an image that I see a little bit of her in.  I came across this wonderful Moonlight Whispers image earlier this year and popped it in my Etsy basket where it has been ever since.  Last week I was filling my basket with wax melts and once again stumbled upon this digital stamp.

The gorgeous image is my girl. Books everywhere! Along with clothes, shoes, makeup......... The image was perfect for me to replicate her bedroom. 

I've coloured this image with Spectrum Noir Illustrators and achieved the glittery, starry wallpaper with Frantage.

Colours for the background are LV2, TB2, TN8, MG2. I learnt this technique from using the Adventures in Colour Discovery Kit from Spectrum Noir. 

I'm really hoping she loves this card.

Actually - she loved it so much she cried. It's the best one yet. 

Thank you for popping over. 

Have a great day. 

Love Lu xx

Jolly Christmas Reindeer

Hi Crafty Friends!

This week Di's Digital Stamps is Sponsoring PPCF on their Facebook group. 

Di's Digital Stamps

Be sure to pop to the page to join in the fun and see all of the beautiful cards we are sharing.

I'm sharing the Jolly Christmas Reindeer. I stencilled the background using a lovely spruce tree Layering stencil. I printed the image onto Neenah Classic Crest Card and coloured using Spectrum Noir Illustrators. 

I thought the Reindeer had a bit of a playful look about him, so placed him in front of the trees to look like he'd photo bombed a Winter picture. 

Thank you for popping over. 

Have a great day.

oh Snap!

I giggled my way through making this card and when I showed it to my family, I got the familiar rolling eyes and grones that are saved for the Christmas cracker jokes.  I knew right then, I'd nailed it!!

This comical Gingerbread Man was released last month during the World Card Making event over on the FB Whimsy page, some of you might have picked it up already but otherwise you can now find it in the November new release digital file.

Think Happy Thoughts!

Hello Friends!

Today is the first of the month and that means Whimsy Stamps new releases! Isn't that exciting news!

I'm sharing today a sweet Wee Stamps image called Wee Florist. She's so adorable sitting and preparing her roses for her kitchen table.  She looked so whimsical I thought the Slimline build a scene meadow die set would be a perfect setting for her.

I used Spectrum Noir Illustrators to colour the image and used Harmony Quick Dry Inkpads to colour up the scene. Up in those clouds is the addition of a little shaker fun too! 

Here's a list of all the Whimsy goodies used complete with links...

Day Dreams!

Hello Friends!

My Whimsy Stamps share with you today is this gorgeous Wee Stamps digital image called Wyanet.  Isn't this image so tranquil, I instantly fell in love. 

This is my first attempt at a Dome card and since I've used acetate to help with a sturdy structure, it's a bit tricky to photograph. 

I've used Spectrum Noir Illustrators to colour the image. 

Hair: CR11, CR9, CR7, CR5, CR2

Blue top: BT9, BT7, BT4, BT2

Trousers & Boots: MB1, MB2, MB3, MB4

Skin: FS6, FS7, FS8, TN2, AP1, AP2

Here's a list of other Whimsy products used to create this card.
