Jan: All dressed up

There seems to be a dress theme going around our design team this month. We hadn't discussed our projects, honest. First we had Gail's wonderful tissue manequin, then Julie showed us those Fabulous 50s frocks and now I introduce my "sixties" shifts. The dress in the front was made with the fabulous Studio2mers papers that Jean has in the shop.  They are so colourful and when you are a bit low on mojo they are a dream to work with.

I made this card with one of my favourite Sweet Pea stamps Telsa

The sentiment is made up from those oh so versatile Collection Elements lower case alphabets and finally I stamped the Bingo border stamp along the edge of the card and there you are a lovely quick card.

Jan:Pretty Lady

y

Isn't she gorgeous?

She is one of the new Sweet Pea stamps that Jean has got in for you to play with. I have coloured her dress with Distress Inks to tone in with the background paper.

She's definitely going to be one of my favourites will she be yours?

Jan:Trick or treat?

It's almost that time when all manner of ghosts and ghouls will knock on your door asking "trick or treat?" Can I ask has anyone ever said "trick" or are you just like me and reach for the sweetie bowl?

Here's my "sweetie" she's one of those delectable Sweet Pea stamps that you can find in the shop.   

Whatever your're doing this halloween enjoy.

Keep it Simple.....

I know colouring in is very popular but I just don't have the patience.......... or a huge amount of Copics or Promarkers so I've kept this very simple. take a piece of white semi gloss card, cut a tag 8x16 cm and use Distress Inks to create your background... I wiped mine on with a makeup sponge. Spray with water and dry with a heat gun .Keep to the same colour palette . Stamp your image in black, add a few pearls and some stickles.......and there you have her..

One Ice Queen! Hope you like her!

Pretty in Pink

Well hello it's my turn to play with the delightful Sweet Pea stamps. I decided to go with a "cutie" rather than the "attitude" look that I've seen so far. These ladies have the most beautiful eyes and soulful faces. I've used my old fashioned watercolour pencils (I don't have any copics/promarkers) to add colour to the image.

With just a touch of stickles on her lace and the kitten's wings and she's gorgeous. The background was created using my favourite spritz Shimmerz Cotton Candy. I don't think my photo does it justice but believe me these sprays really add bling! Another favourite Dewdrops were added to complete a rather cute card. So as if you need any encouraging why don't you pop over to the shop and see what you can find.
