Happy Halloween....

Hi everyone.

Today is October 31st and in Australia many people will celebrate all things Halloween.

I have created a card using one of the older digitals from Bizzy Becs store and mixed it with some stencils from my own stash, some clear embossing powder, coloured texture paste and distress oxides.  I have coloured my image with prisma coloured pencils. 

To create my background I first sponged through my stencil with the Ranger Embossing Dauber to create a border of spider webs.  I embossed each one individually with clear embossing powder, before moving on to the Distress Oxides. Starting with Uncharted Mariner, then Tumbled Glass and finally Twisted Citron.  I then edged my card with the Black Soot Distress Ink Pad.  I then inked through my bat stencil with the Black Soot to add a few bats .  Finally I gently buffed the surface to expose the embossed areas.

Lastly I used liquitex Light Modelling Paste mixed with a little black gesso to create my spiders, which were on the Spider Web Stencil from my stash.

I had so much fun creating this background.

Supplies used:

Bizzy Becs Digital Stamp - Goth Angel Goth

Tim Holtz Distress Ink Set #3 - Black Soot

Distress Oxides - Uncharted Mariner, Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron

Cody on a Scooter - Take 2 ....

 Hi everyone.

Dropping in today to share my card that I have made for my Great Nephew who turned 2 last weekend.

Instead of fussy cutting the digital image I have created a background behind the image for a different look using my cloud stencil for the sky and copic colouring for the ground and used Browns and Blues to colour up the image.

I have masked up the printed image,  then using my stencil,  inked the sky using Distress Ink Pad in Tumbled Glass, which was lots of fun.  I then coloured up the image and lastly did the ground.

Cody on a Swing...

 Hi everyone.

Popping in today to share a new card with you all and to let you know that it is also the start of the new challenge month over at Bizzy Becs.  

For my card today I have used one of the older Digital Stamps from the Boyz will be Boyz collection called Cody on a swing.   My card is as I type winging its way to my Great Nephew who recently turned 3.  Sorry guys its is going to be late, still getting my head around the length of time it takes for mail to get to Canada from Australia.  

I have fussy cut the image and attached it under the frame with a very small split pin.  I got my inspiration for this from a card I saw recently created by  Melissa Goodman who made her elephant on her card move.    Sadly I haven't taken a video of how the swing moves from side to side, but have photographed its different positions.

Supplies used:

Bizzy Becs Digital Stamp from Boyz will be Boyz collection - Cody of a Swing

New Flower Labels 5 Pack.....

Hi everyone.

Popping in today to share with you my card I made for my Dad for Fathers Day,  which we celebrated here in Australia yesterday.

For my card I used a new Digital Stamp that was recently released at Bizzy Becs.  It comes in a pack of 5 and must say they are very easy to use and cut out.

The image I choose consists of Grapto Ives (Succulents) and I took my inspiration from a photo I found on line, and used  Prisma Colour Pencils to colour my image.

Once coloured I then ran my image through my Minc machine by using the Minc Toner Marker to outline the frame and Copper Foil.  I also coloured the Happy Die Cut Sentitment with the Minc Toner Marker and used the same Copper coloured foil and put that through the Minc Machine. 

 My sentitment Fathers Day was computer generated.

Supplies used:

Bizzy Becs Digital Stamp - New Flower Labels 5 Pack

Prisma Colour Pencils - 150 pack

Lawn Fawn Die - Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables

Waffled Diamonds...

Hi everyone, I am popping in today to share my latest  masculine card.

Today I have used a Altenew 3d Embossing Folder to create my card. 

 Before embossing I blended together three colours of Distress Oxide Ink.  Instead of inking bottom to top I inked from the sides to make it a little different.

First I used Mowed Lawn, then added Pine Needles and lastly Mermaid Lagoon, when I was happy with the blend I ran the inked background through the embossing folder. 

Before adhering the sentiment to create a distressed look I ran my sanding block over the top of the inked background until I was happy with the result.

Using the Happy Birthday Die I then multi cut it from white cardstock 3 times and then  once from Gloss Black cardstock and glued all the layers together.

I love how it turned out.

Supplies used:

Altenew 3d Embossing Folder - Waffled Diamonds

Tim Holtz Distress Oxides Mowed Lawn, Pine Needles & Mermaid Lagoon

Creative Expressions Die - Happy Birthday

Tim Holtz  Ideology - Sanding Grip Block Tool
