Tsunami Rose Butterflies!

Today I'm here with a gorgeous 6x6" book page printed with vintage butterflies from Tsunami Rose Designs. Its such a gorgeous paper I dont think it needs much else! Tsunami Rose papers are printable files that you buy to print in your home as often as needed - so I printed it twice and inked around the edges of the first sheet with Vintage Photo distress ink.

With the second sheet, I fussy cut many of the full butterflies and used cosmic shimmer glue to the bodies, allowing the wings to fly off the page, giving a 3D effect. I added corner flourishes and a sentiment. Lace around three edges finishes this wall hanging with matching blue organza.

Happy Birthday Carly!

I took a stall at my kids primary school Christmas Fayre last December and a young girl, upon seeing my Gorjuss Girls Christmas cards showed such excitement that I gave one for however many pennies she had left in her pocket - not many!
So, roll on last week. My son comes home from school with a birthday invite for this very same girl! I knew right away that I would have to do something Gorjuss for her and so here it is. If you've been here recently you'll already know that not only do I love my Gorjuss, I am also loving wall hangings just now so i've combined the two for Carly.

This is her card. For all the items I've used the DoCrafts Gorjuss range of papers, die cuts, ribbons and washi tape. Here I've just done some simple matting and layering, using two images, and have added black lace, mulberry paper roses and rolled black roses. 

I added some washi tape to the inside of the card and to the envelope as well.
 

My wall hanging is 6x6" and uses the same papers, rolled roses, lace and i've added beading and bling. I used the Gorjuss stickers to spell out Carly and have sprayed the whole thing with Silver Spray and Sparkle.

And finally, I made a tag to match for the gift bag.

 

I hope Carly has a lovely party tonight and can find room on her almost teenage girl bedroom wall to display her wall hanging.

Dilly Beans Summertime Challenge

Today I'm going to show you my second ever 'Dilly Beans' card. Last week I made a black and white 8x8" card and showed it on the blog entering it into the Dilly Beans Challenge.... Well, I won!!! I got the first place and am loving my wee prize - thank you Dilly Beans!

This week's challenge is entitled Summertime and can be found here.

For this challenge, I have used Dilly Beans image #444 Desi Framed and coloured her with promarkers. I have gone with browns and lilacs to match the flowery, summery paper that I decided to use.

My paper is a Dolly Mixtures pad from Craftwork Cards and I've used a frame and sentiments from them too. I used my x-cut posey flower die to cut layered flowers from some of the papers and used die cut banners as tags on the side of the image.

Here's a close up of my colouring - I feel like after a week or so of playing about with the pens i'm definately getting better, working out how to blend and which colours work together... I still have a limited palatte but working on that!!!

I am entering this card into the following challenges -
Dilly Beans - Summertime
Through the Craftroom Door - anything goes
Created with Love Challenges - anything goes.
Left of Center - 2 or more designer papers. 

Thanks for looking!

Tsunami Rose Designs Challenge #24 - Sketch Challenge

Time for another challenge over at Tsunami Rose Designs Blog -  this week it's a sketch challenge and again we're using samples from the new Polished Lackluster printable journal kit. All the links you need for the TRD Shop and other chances to win are at the bottom of this post! 

 

My card today i've used a black card base, A5 size and matted all the elements onto pearlescent red paper.

I made some rolled paper roses from the red pearlescent paper and the same in the black with matching organza ribbons. Lots of layering with 3d foam! I've got with simple for this card - i tend to get stuck with sketches, sticking rigidly to the design and really need to get thinking outside the box!!

Well, hopefully you'll like the card anyways! Why not join us over at Tsunami Rose, take a look at the sketch and see what you come up with - you dont have to use Tsunami Rose papers!!

So whether you like Goth, Emo, Fantasy, Vampires, Monsters, Punk, Steampunk, Horror, Halloween, Creepy, Scary, Supernatural.... whatever your imagination stretches to, come and see what the design team have for you - and show us what you can do too!!!


This is my DT Project for June. This month we are being sponsored by Ike's Art and my digi image is Witch1 which I have coloured with watercolour pencils and a water brush.

I've added purple stickles on the dress and black stickles in the hair - I might have overdone the glitter but i've always been a bit of a glitter goth so I'm happy with that! I've used free papers and flower elements, added black lace, black card for matting and liquid pearls in black and purple.

I hope you like my sample for June, I'm already working on July's project but in the mean time, come and see us at PunkYouGirl and get in touch with your Dark Side!

Dilly Beans Black and White Challenge

Hi!! Thanks so much to everyone who joined me for the Skull Appreciation Day Blog Hop on Tuesday this week! Thank you for all the wonderful comments, I'm thrilled that you all liked my projects! It was a wonderful hop, chock full of inspiration - fabulous day!! 

This is just a quick post with a challenge entry for the Dilly Beans Challenge Blog. This week's theme is 'Black and White' and they have changed their rules slightly in that you have to use a Dilly Beans image on your entry.... so of course, I popped over to Megans Dilly Beans shop blog and bought a few to play with!!!

This has been coloured using the cool greys and black Promarkers with a hint of vanilla on her face. The embossed frame and B&W papers are from Craftwork Cards Black Magic Goodie Box and I've added some pearlescent black and white papers for matting. 

My trusty Marianne Creatables Chinese Rose die was used for the flowers, a double ribbon and some crystal head pins finish the card.

I'm still fairly new to 'proper' colouring and I think with a good bit of practice I'll become far more confident and competant at this. No doubt many of my upcoming projects will be coloured digis!!! I do have another couple of Dilly Beans to show you too!!


Thanks for looking today. Remember to join me on Friday for the launch of the brand new PunkYouGirl Challenge Blog!!!! I'll be showing you my project here on Friday morning and you can find more inspiration and challenge details on the blog at the same time!
