As You Like It Challenge - Stitching and Why?

Well I don't do a lot of stitching on cards and I do like to see them on cards....I have used one of the images on the new  CD. All pre-orders is now been  posted out today and tomorrow to customers. I have added the faux stitch to the layered topper from the CD not bad as I don't do Faux stitching at all.

Here is some more pictures of the card, all the layers are per done all you need is to print and mat on your base card and I have used some of the papers on the CD to create the layered topper. I have just added my base card and mat the topper on black card.

HERE IS A CLOSE UP

Late DT Post - AS You Like It Challenge

Hi everyone sorry for this late posting, been doing all sorts here and there, now have time to catch up with emails etc. My card for today is a shape card and the challenge over at AS YOU LIKE CHALLENGE BLOG is your Favourite Colouring Medium and WHY.

You know I love my copics so that is why I will say copics, the vibrant and rich colours that you get is fantastic. I have recently release some fantastic stamps from my Lollipop Dreams Collection so here I have used Just for fun, very cute indeed.

Added lots of flowers and my very favourite frantage embossing powder. Even though I have my own range of dies I love some other company dies too so these from Personal Impressions (Sweet Dixie) range of dies it's just fantastic.

As You Like IT - DT Card (3D Texture And Why)

Hi everyone, sorry for the no posting I am getting back to normal now and I have some exciting news coming soon, just waiting for one more thing before I can officially share it with you all.  Now this week's challenge over at As You Like It is  3D Textures and Why now  let see them.

I have used this lovely new rubber stamp from my shop she is called 'Meeting Friends' how cute is she? I coloured her up with copics and add a little Derwent soft pencil I love them the tips is more softer than the prisma pencil and the colours are much richer too.

A close up of the image

As you know I am into shabby chic/vintage so my card is base on that style, I have used the summer doily  available HERE, flowers, ribbon, lace, maja designer papers, snow tex for texture.

The card stock bow  is a new product I am working on and it will be available on the website very soon called Easy Bow. I have added pearl to the bow. I have also used Frantage around the image.

As you Like it challenge - DT post

Hi everyone sorry I have been quite for a while, I had some sad news that took me by surprise so was not much for making anything. Well this card was meant to go up on Thursday but was not able to do so.

The challenge over at AS YOU LIKE IT CHALLENGE is show your style. I have no set style but I love soft colours and I am now into shabby chic.

This card was made sometime ago for a Create and Craft launch of  Here Comes The Girls CD Rom a collaboration between Crafty Sentiments Designs  and Creative Crafting World. Well getting ready for work.

Have a wonderful weekend.
