Visible Sunday.

Hi all my lovelies in blogland.

So its Sunday again.. already. Where or who has stolen the weekend? I feel like I only just left work thinking yay its the weekend. Still at least we have the whole of Sunday as yet.

So its my day to blog for Visible Image and  I had a play with the stamp set called '"Time after time" Which I love.. I love to use vintage images where ever I can  but this time I thought I would try something a little different and created and easel card.

Within the set there is a fabby crackle stamp so I used that to create this gorgeous background. I also inked around the edges . Separately I stamped some of the images from the set, the cogs and numbers, The word 'Time' and my sentiment. I cut them all out and did any inking needed.
I then mounted them all onto black card stock and put the card together.

Glossy accents was used literally all over the face of the clock after using a light grey Promarker all around the inner edge. You can't see the grey at the mo cos the accent's is still wet but as it dries it seems to sharpen anything you do almost like a magnifying glass.

 You can see the glossy accents all nice and shiny here.

 Nice close up of the background and numbers stamp too.

 My easel

 I love the sentiment here cut out with a Spellbinder die, d-lite.

The wings I cut out several times this photo shows the layers and also how it looks folded closed for posting if needed.I used a ribbon I had that looked like a measuring tape which is very me although usually Id cover it in ink and screw it up maybe but as I said before I thought I'd try to keep it clean and simple as these stamps are so deeply etched and detailed they really don't need much work at all.

I hope every one has a great day with lots of sunshine and I will be back on Wednesday to share another Card from the amazing Heartfelt Creations.

Please  leave me a comment and let me know what you think of today's card It really is great to get feedback and tell your friends to come join the blog too as I mentioned before I will be doing a freebie competition once I hit my first 100 followers to the blog so please share me to facebook etc so we can get the numbers a little higher.

Hugs.

Time after time.

Delicate Aster's & Catch-up

Hi all.

It was a lovely day yesterday here in sunny old Blighty ha( only ducks would enjoy our weather ) mainly cos they could swim through the town. It has been a rough year without much of a spring and certainly not much of a summer so far but today was a nicer day with people walking around in some nice bright colours etc.

 On a serious note our weather is nothing to the weather our friends over the pond have been experiencing and I would like to express my gratitude to those helping the less fortunate out there and my heart goes out to all those who have suffered so immensely due to terrible conditions weather wise.
Take care you guys.

Last week on my crafty quest for Heartfelt Creations I decided to make a little box and then I made the card to go with it, Usually I am guessing you would make it the other way round but me being me always questioning the chicken or the egg haha... nope the box then the card... fitting together VOILA... o so perfectly...

The Result.

It was from Their gorgeous Delicate Asters Collection.

This is one of my personal favourites which I have made into my style by adding inks and embossing powders. By using chipboard , Paint and gold gilding. I have used triple layers of UTEE  dipped in gold embossing too , also added some over stamping to the writing  and used lots of the paper's from The Aster Collection which is stunning in shades of purple, I added distress inks in Milled lavender and Dusty concord along with several greens and some Sakura pens for depth too.

The easel Card.

A close up on this flower as it was made alternating layers of card inked and cut out with the Heartfelt dies and also velum inked and stamped, You can see the leaves with the UTEE and gold dipped edges.

Here is my box , please note all the wonderful colours kept clean and separate but still blending so elegantly through out.

Finishing touches.

The dies matching the stamps cut extremely cleanly and if you are unsure how to do this Heartfelt's Creative director Emma Lou Beechy shows you in a series of video's exactly how to do this technique.

 

I thought this would be a good time to re mention That I have Pinterest and Twitter too so if you would like to come follow me on there please click on the words and it will take you right to it.

Of course you guys know I am on Facebook but again come add me and keep up with all the Craftiness that way too.

So I hope you enjoyed my Heartfelt tribute this Saturday and I look forward to sharing more with you very soon.

Please leave me some feedback as its always gratefully received.

Love

Flutterby Roses.

Good Morning All!

Here is a card made with a very recent kit I got from Kanban. I was playing around and found the lacy rose effect ribbon so I decided on an Easel card. Dawn Wheeler designed the kit and it is beautiful; she did a great job, such a romantic girly feel to it this one. So I had a play and went totally OTT with it, but some how it works.

I love the backing rose card matted on to black, the photo I'm afraid isn't great as it's silly o'clock and the lighting is pretty poor.

I have embossed butterflies with pearls on their backs, rafia ribbon and spiders web material tied up into bows too.

Simple and elegent but lots of elements that took a little while to secure. Tomorrow in the day light I will re-photo and hopefully that will be better!

Crafty hugs,
Kim
