My first My Time To Craft DT Card

My first My Time To Craft DT Card - Doilies and Flowers

Hi all as you may have been aware from a previous post I was chosen to join the wonderful DT along at My Time to Craft. I am so grateful to have been given this position and will be inspired to create many much needed cards for my family and friends as well as those to sell.

After having been notified on Sunday I had been given this position I got straight onto making my first DT card before going out for my last night shift. This is the card I have made.

I have made this card for an order I had. The customer wanted a Mother's Day card and she wanted a butterfly and floral theme. The brief for the challenge this time was perfect for this card. I have used backing papers and embelishments from the Crafter's Companion Strawberry Kisses CD. The stamped image is from Dimension Forth and I have coloured this with spectrum noir pens which was stamped onto neenah card stock. Matts are coordinations from the brights section. I have added Tim Holtz distress ink to the backing papers and neenah once I had coloured the image. I added floral details and stickles to complete the card.

So what you waiting for? Why not pop over to My Time to Craft now and join in with the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by

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
