Hunkydory

Good morning 

Today I would like to share with you a couple of cards I made reently from a Hunkydory kit I was given.

They are both 8x8" cards, not a size I normally do.

It really was just a case of popping them together.

The square fram and inner circle were raised on foam pads, to give a bit of dimension.

Then I added the scalloped circle in the top left hand corner flat.

Three gems in the bottom right cormer to finish it off.

As I said not normally my 'thing' but when the mojo has gone walkabout great for doing something rather than nothing :)

I appreciate all comments you may have on my creations.

Forever Friends Cards

Good morning

Today I would like to share with you a couple of cards I have made recently.
I recently tidied my craft space and found a couple of Forever Friends Decoupage sheets.

This first card is of the bears in wedding attire.

The base is a 6x6" scalloped card

I matted the decoupage onto gold mirri card.

This was layed onto a sheet of paper from the Sara Davies Wedding 

Collection from Crafters Companion.

Again this was matted onto Gold Mirri/

The flowers are from Prima.

A couple of gems in the corners and the entre of the flowers.

For the second card I again used a 6x6" card blank.

I  die cut the Cream card with Spellbinders Triple Floral die, Large and medium.

The backing paper is a pale lilac spot.

This makes this card ideal for either a baby boy or girl.

I appreciate all comments you may have on my creations.

A couple of Journal pages

Good Morning

Today I would like to share with you a couple of Art Journal pages with you.
My book is an 8x8" white scrapbook from Hobbycraft (these had been reduced to £5!)

This is my first page. 

The mask is a Prima mask. It differs from most of my masks as the majority of detail is around the edge, rather than in the middle.

I inked with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink.

I then Inked the branch at the top with Moss Green Distress Ink.

The colours in the middle with the quote on, was printed onto tissue paper and then stuck to the page using Mod Podge matte.

I then stamped the words with Victorian Velvet.

On page 2, I again inked with green through the branch stencil.

Then I used a Purple Distress Ink on the flourish in the bottom left hand corner.

Another quote printed on tissue and attached with Mod Podge.

Various word stamps were then stamped in different colours.

On Page 3, I used more stencils.

I used the same flourish as the previus page, in the opposite corner this time.

Another quote Mod Podge-ed to the page.

I started this journal when I realised that I have a lot of inspirational quotes saved on my Pintrest Boards, but they can't inspire me from there :)

My plan is to, eventually, have them all printed off and put in this journal. Then whenever I am having 'One of those days' I can pick it up and remind myself that life is not so bad.

I appreciate all comments you may have on my creations.

A Couple of Cards

Good Morning

Today I would like to share with you a couple of cards.

These are both A5 in size on white card blanks.

These Toppers and Backing sheets came from a kit I have had for a while.

By matting the toppers onto gold it makes them stand out.

They layers were all stuck flat, for ease when posting.

Again these mats were backed onto gold.

The layers were again all flat.

Thanks for stopping by.

Something a bit different

Good Morning

Today I would like to show you something a bit different from me.

This is a Slate heart which I bought with the intention of doing 'something' with it.

As I am trying to be better at looking after myself and eating better I decided to make this and have it hanging in my Kitchen to remind myself how well I am doing.

The slate heart is approc 20cm high.

It came with some twine to hang it, I have replaced this with 'measuring tape' ribbon.

The flowers are a mixture of Hobby House and Prima flowers.

The wording was cut on my Silhouette Cameo.

A few gems in the centre of some of the flowers.

A heart stick pin and a pearl one finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by. 

I appreciate all comments you may have on my creations.
