Visible Image day

Hello all my lovelies

Ohhh I know you have all been wondering what I have been up to and the answer is prepping for Mondays shows on C&C, 9a.m and 2pm, so I hope you can join me and email in as you know I love hearing all your thoughts and its so good knowing I have my Internet family watching.

I have been meaning to catch up with all the winners and comments all week but I just seemed to run out of time, all parcels will be posted out on Tuesday this week so look out for posties, I also have no gas at present so been a little chilly its definitely been one of thoseeeee weeks but I have been prepping for Monday's shows and getting another show together fast for the 3rd November so anyway one of the lovely Visible image team , Sam stepped in and covered me on Wednesday and so I am doing today so Huge thanks to her for helping me out.
I thought I'd use my gorgeous Enchanting Snowflake stamps from Visible Image this week and teamed it with a classically timeless sentiment and keep it pretty and fairly simple with mica powders and embossing, well I hope you like it.

I used two different tonal purples here in cardstock and used ivory embossing powder rather than white  to blend in the the ivory paper. I stamped out the smaller snowflake around the backing edge of the frame piece of card with Versamark and used an interference colour Mica which looks silver in certain lights and a bluey/lilac in other, very pretty. I also used the same mica on the edges of the flowers too.

 Here is a closer look and you can now see the backing a little better and the lilac on the mica more.
I love purple and ivory or cream , I used those colours for my daughters bedroom and she still loves it. I have never really been a Christmas red and green colour person but to me this is just gorgeous in these colours and the snowflakes are so crisp but still have that vintage feel to them. Gorgeous.

Here is a close up on the first little cluster with the bow and you can see the stem I cut off the little flowers I twisted around a pokey tool to create a little curly q to add to the flower and some other little stamens just to make it a little more interesting.

 I snapped this little corner so you can see the mica on the stamps in the backing here. soo Pretty and sparkly in real life. The cameras just never seem to pick up sparkle well unless it full on bling.

 This was the 2nd little bunch in the top right of the card, you can also see the two colours in the card used on the layers in this one a little better.

Finally here is the longer shot to show the layers etc. I hope you like this one, the font is so clear and sharp to stamp with , perfect image for Visible Image.haha

Ok so here are the stamps I used on this one.

                               Enchanting Snowflakes                    Christmas and New year.

Aren't they pretty , I can also imagine then used with all the gorgeous colours of metal flakes out there now lovely.

Anyway my lovelies thank you to all those who sent me their addresses so I can send your prizes out and don't forget to watch on Monday and email in to the show so you have the chance of getting more cards and goodies. I really do read them all even if we aren't allowed to keep them now.

Thanks again to our Sam for helping me on Wednesday and I look forward to catching up with you all very soon .

Lots and lots of love to all

Hugs
