Quadruple Challenge Card

Well I just love how this card has turned out. This card is for my sister's birthday, I had made her one but I am not happy with it so I decided to make her another and am glad I did.

Card Recipe

  • Stamp: Dimension Fourth - Twinkle Garland Large
  • Papers/inserts: Bearly Mine Designs - Designer Extreme and Designer Inserts Extreme
  • Card: White hammer A3 - Paper Mill Shop; Silver Mirror/purple holographic - Stash
  • Flowers: Stash
  • Brads: Dovecraft
  • Peel Off Greeting: Craft Creations
  • Stickles Giltter Glue: Star Dust, Fruit Punch
  • Ribbon: Dovecraft

This is the first time I have used the Designer Extreme disks and I must say they are lovely. The insert disk is brilliant, I feel they just make your card look that bit more special.

Mixed media clock

Hi all I'm back today to share a clock I've made.  I started it yesterday evening by adding the texture building stages using white crackle texture paste drying after. Then used various stencils and embossing paste. I dried this and then added a coat of black gesso and left it to dry over night.  This morning I added some colour onto it using Pebeo Dyna paints. I added die cut numbers cut out of silver mirror card. However I wasn't happy with it as it was too dark for what I wanted it for and thought the silver numbers didn't go with it. So I sat back and looked at it and decided I wanted it lighter.  Well no loss as out came my heavy white gesso and I gave it a good coating. Before adding the white gesso I sanded the numbers slightly so that the paint could adhere better and this also gave extra texture. I dried this off and added the Dyna paints again and some Art Alchemy Opal Magic in Rose Gold.  Well I felt much happier with how it was lookin

Birthday Card Trio

 Hello all, I'm back again with another post for you. This time I've got three cards to show you.  These are all made with products from Crafter's Companion. The 1st is another dragon card made using one of the Lee Holland Dragon stamps. I love these little characters :) I've had coloured this using spectrum noir colour blend pencils. I just love how much of a fun looking card you can make with these stamps.    Next is a card made using a unicorn stamp. This has also been hand coloured with pencils. I've also used some backing papers and matt mirror and glitter card from Sara's Enchanted forest collection. Finally I've made a card using my Crafter's Companion BeBunni CD. It's a while since I've used this cd but I forgot how cute these little bunnies are.   All of the cards have been personalised with die cut numbers and letters for the names. Hope to see you all again soon. Rachel
