More Magenta

Morning everyone. I'm so glad that you liked the last card!  I thought that I would show you the other card that we made on that class using the rest of the tile stamps that were in that same Magenta stamp set and the same technique of colouring using the Copics.

I've got to say that I have had great fun using these markers over the last few months and experimenting with what they can do.  I most definitely LOVE them and now that I have got all the Ciaos I plan on adding to them with the Sketches gradually because as we know they aren't exactly cheap!!

Here is another close up of the middle tile so that you can see the colouring a bit better!!  The funny particles that you can see is specks of the glitter glue - just incase you were wondering!!

By the way don't forget to tune into Create and Craft tomorrow as Jill (from The Stamp Man) will be doing a live Moonglow based show at 11am which I am sure will be full of techniques!!  I for one will definitely be setting my Sky+ box!!

And More Snow!!!

Yes it is snowing here again on the south east coast of the UK.  I couldn't believe it when I woke up to find yet another thick coating of snow on the ground and it has been snowing here all morning!!  Normally any snow that we get in our region of the UK tends to be more inland so I am truly amazed at how much we have had here.  I had great fun this morning drinking my cup of tea while watching our neighbours trying to dig a pathway out with their snow shovels!!  All their hard work paid off though and they were able to get out.

I am just pleased that I took advantage yesterday of some of the snow thawing to nip out and stock up on milk so luckily I don't have to go out today at all!!  I just hope that the postman makes it through as I am waiting on some packages so that I can get my prep done for my classes next Saturday at The Craft Barn.  There have been a few days that the postman hasn't risked it which I can understand but it is annoying when you are waiting for stuff!!

Anyway talking of classes here is one of the cards we made for the classes that I took at The Glitter Pot in early December. This class was based on using the Copic markers and how to obtain shading and blending using different colours.  The main image is from a Magenta cling stamp set, the background (on the green panel) is one of my favourite stamps by Penny Black called Scrolling Along and the leafy branch that you see (stamped with white StazOn onto acetate) is by Art Impressions.  Here's a close up of the main image too which has had Diamond glitter glue added to it.  All of these stamps can be bought at The Glitter Pot.

Finally...

Well after talking about it for ages I have at long last sorted out those Glitter Pot cards and here is the first one! This is one of the cards we made in the morning class using a Magenta flower stamp which was coloured using dye-based inkpads.

Delicate Daisies

Daisies are one of my favourite types of flowers. There are so many different types and colours of daisies(and daisy shaped flowers) that I could never get bored of them, and somehow they seem such friendly flowers.

So as soon as I saw this daisy stamp by Magenta I just had to have it and as it had got swirls as well I couldn't ask for more!! This is one of the cards that we made last Saturday afternoon. The daisies were coloured with Coloursoft pencils. The pink background was double-embossed onto Coredinations cardstock - first using the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder and then using the Stylized Flower. The green paper is by My Minds Eye.

All items can be purchased from The Glitter Pot.

Still Busy!!

Morning everyone. Still really busy here trying to get those stamp sheets completed so this will be a short post again!

My thanks to everyone who posted a comment on My Secret - they were all really helpful. Once I have got my act together a bit more I will sort something out regarding a 'giveaway' so do check back in the next couple of weeks!

**********************

Clarky J - no problem at all regarding those cards. I was happy to help. I hope it all goes well.

I haven't posted up any cards for the last couple of days so finally here is the other Magenta one that we did on the shrink plastic class at The Glitter Pot.

By the way don't forget that next Saturday I will be demonstrating shrink plastic at The Glitter Pot's Spring Spectacular so if anyone has any problems regarding shrink and lives close enough to Scaynes Hill do pop by and I will do my best to help you!

Right then. Back to those designs...........................

Magenta Flower

Hi guys. Thanks so much for those lovely comments that you left me on yesterdays post. It absolutely makes my day when someone bothers to respond to my posts so thank you!


The card I've uploaded today was one that I made last year for a shrink plastic class I took at The Glitter Pot. The little images at the base of the card were stamped onto frosted shrink plastic, coloured in and then shrunk to add as embellishments. Both the main image and the little shrunk images were from an un-mounted stamp set by Magenta. The flourishes you can see are from a clear set by Hero Arts and the wording is from Francoise's Tiny Phrases clear stamp set all of which can be bought from The Glitter Pot.

I hope you like it!
