New decorated bag

This is one of my latest projects. The bag was decorated using a screen print image in blue. Then I used a butterfly stencil with gold and blue Starlight textile paints.  Once the front and back were dried, it was ironed to set the ink. 

The screen and blue pearl ink was bought from Thermofax Screens. I love using my Screen Sensation but I wanted to try other designs and inks. This ink is a more fluid than the Screen Sensation inks but works fine. Not tried the ink on a Screen Sensation screen as yet. 

Have a great day.

Stanley In Paradise

This is one of new digital set by Beccy Muir. It is a smaller set and contains this adorable image of Stanley all dressed up! You can find the set to purchase on Beccy's Place Shop along with lots of other digital and clear stamps.

Stanley with printed on white card and coloured with pencils and then layers onto brown card. The flower dies were cut out and coloured.  Smile every time I see this image and I am sure you know someone you would love to send him to. :)

Latest altered box

Used the same base colours as the last one but this time there are more layers of colours and textures. Made this one for a friend's birthday to hold all her sweets. lol

Have a great day and keep dry.

Skipper here, don't you love my pink toes! Not bad for a girl of 17 years old. 

Purrs to all my furry and no  so furry friends.

Hibiscus Set

The new digital stamp set by Beccy Muir is called 'Hibiscus set'. It's a  really lovely set of images. 

You can find the set in Beccy's Place shop and inspiration on Beccy's Place blog. 

Created this bag by stencilling the butterflies on the bag first. I printed largest image on a piece of A4 card and then coloured with alcohol markers and pencils. the edges were inked and stencil added on top. 

Hope you like it. 

Cats Meow set

I love this cat set of digital images 'The Cats Meow' from Beccy Muir. You can find the images for sale in Beccy's Place shop and more inspiration on Beccy's Place blog. 

The box was made fist created the background paper with Brusho crystals and then panels were added to the painted box. The cat image was printed and coloured with alcohol markers and pencils and added to the top. Really good box to put a bit of chocolate for a friend who had a rough day.

The card was another simple creation. The image was printed and coloured with pencils and then dry embossed. The background was also embossed with the same folder and some gold pasted added to it.  Love the expression on the cats face.

Cat's Meow set

It's time for the release of another wonderful set of stamps by Beccy Muir from Beccy's Place. Today I am highlighting her 'Cat's Meow' digital stamp set. As always you get the black and white images, sentiments and coloured images in the set. 

If you have read my blog, you will know that I love cats (and dogs) and  my ginger girl is a huge part of my life. Getting a set of adorable cat images to play with was just so much fun. My first project using the Cat's Meow digital stamp set is this 8" x 8" canvas. The first step was to add some texture with a stencil and texture paste. Once that was dry I used different colour of sprays to colour the background. After that I added more bling with starlight paints and stencils. The cat image was printed and coloured with pencils. To frame the cat I added stencil detail and raised dots using Enamel accents in white. Added various dies cuts and resin flowers to canvas to complete the project.
Really had fun getting messy with this canvas.

Do take a look at Beccy's Place blog to see what the other members for the DT have created for your inspiration.

Screen Sensation first projects

Have been watching the shows about the Screen Sensations kit and finally gave in and bought one. Got it out today and had a play. These are my first three attempts at screen printing. First one was done on the green 12x12 card and then the textured cotton bag and then white A4 card. The bags I intend to use at Christmas.

Really please with how well it printed and get it set-up for printing was very easy. The only drawback so far is the cleaning up. It can get messy getting  all that ink off the tools and screen. Ink does seem to go a long way. I have been using a small pot of the black I bought to try on my stencils. 

Will play some more soon. 

Summer card!

This is one of my new cards I made with a new stamp set. Images coloured with inktense pencils. I am very fortunate to have the 72 pencil set, which was given to me for my birthday. Love these pencils.

Would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Allsorts Challenge: Flower Power.

Dragons can be cute

Hope you are all keeping cool today, especially our furry babies.  Skipper is just about coping in this heat with two fans going 24 hours. 

These are two new cards I made over the weekend for the hedgehog charity. The hedgehog is a set of dies from Tonic, the dragon is by Tattered lace. 

Hope you like them.

Keep cool!!!

Male card and an elephant!

Making some cards for a hedgehog charity and wanted to share some of them. It was a great excuse to used my tattered lace animal dies.  Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine.

Happy Friday.

Trying new products

Recently purchased some Imagination crafts Starlights textile paints and finally got around to having a good play. I also bought a few of their stencils, which have been used on this bag. The bag is from The Works in Royston. The paints work so well and they are really easy to apply. Love the sparkle you get from them, just a shame you can't get the full effect from the photos. 

Have a great weekend.

Birthday card for hubby

Can finally share this card with you. Took me ages to make and hubby does like it. The stamps are by Sheena Douglass and the stencils are by Imagination crafts and Club Scrap. The texture paste and glitter paste are from Imagination crafts. Used glimmer mists for the background. The images were coloured with Inktense pencils and glimmer watercolours on top. Also added gilding paste over the textured areas. Had fun making this card.
