Gothic Lady Card 2


Hi everyone as promised my second card using the Lynne Perrella stamps
I hope you are inspired by this piece.


Firstly I put glitter paste through a memory box stencil on the mid left 
hand side and the base on the right.


Next I painted the beer matt with a mix of dolly mix and 
chalk Fresco Finish Paint


I then stamped the lady of the Lynne Perrella 028 plate
 with grey Stazon.


I put Vaseline over the areas that I wanted to come through and then
painted over with a Amethyst and Squid Ink.


I highlighted around the eyes and picked up other details with chalk.


I then used the ledger stencil and put Viva Ferro through it on the top right
and bottom left. 


I had an old metal stencil in my stash and used this on the top right.
I finished of by highlighting it with pewter Treasure Gold.


Finally I added two beads from my stash, and I backed onto a small card.
Well that's it for today! I hope you have all enjoyed this card
Please feel free to leave a comment. 
Happy stamping!

Lynne Parella Stamp in pastels




Hi everyone its me again, guess what I have recently purchased 
yes you have got it two lynne parella stamp sets.


So get ready for a few projects using these sets.


Firstly I used a beer matt and put grunge paste through a harlequin stencil, then viva decor
  glitter paste through a memory box small texture diamond stencil.


I then painted the beer matt with chalk white fresco finish paint, then using 
my finger I bended dolly mix and ice blue.


I used Amethyst and lake Wanaka on the Lynne Perrella 
script stamp of the 028 set.


I used a Tim Holtz die cut small arch of the movers and shakers sets.
I painted it with fresco finish paints in chalk and dolly mix. 


I then put Vaseline over the area's I wanted to show through. next I painted over the 
whole piece with Teal, and then Amethyst I also lightened
with dolly mix where I wanted it.


I used treasure gold in White Fire round the edges of both the arch,
 beer matt and over the grunge paste.


I then used the small rosette Die from the Tim Holtz.


I then placed a diamonte gem in the centre of the rosette.


I really hope you all enjoyed this piece today and I look forward to reading your 
Feedback, so don't forget to leave a comment when you visit.

Tim Holtz Blueprints Snowflake




Jo Firth Young stamp with home made embellishments



Same stamp in red.



Art Tag



Hi everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the summer and making the most of the 
lovely weather we have been having.


Today I bring you a tag which has been coloured,
blended distress inks.


Spiced Marmalade, Rusty hinge, Broken china and Faded jeans,
were all blended off a craft mat onto a manilla tag.


Metallic ferro from viva deco was used through a CW stencil.


Black card was put through a Tim Holtz die.


taking a white pen i wrote butterflies on the art die cut card. mainly to cover
as the glue had got onto the front of the die cut.



I stamped the Tim Holtz stamps on the bottom and the small 
butterfly's up the left hand side of the tag.


On a separate piece of card I restamped the butterfly and embossed it.


I glued the two bits over the tag and highlighted with treasure
gold.


For the main body of the butterfly I used beads from my stash. 


Well that's it for today. Thank you for reading through I would love to read your
 thoughts on my work so please don't be shy and as I am house 
bound at the moment it will give me something to do and
 I could pop over and visit your blog's.

Gothic Lady


Hi everyone hope you are all well I have been trawling all 
the blogs reading up and came across one 
on the Paperartsy blog.


It was by the very talented Lisbeth using the "peeled paint" 
technique with fresco Finish paints.


Firstly I put grunge paste through a stencil and dried it
with my heat gun. Then I coloured it in with
 oil pastilles.   


Next using Lynne Perrella Stamps, Vasaline, fresco finish Paint
and Stazon ink. 


Grunge paste through a stencil.


Lots of treasure gold.


Lots of embellishments from my stash.


Star shell buttons.


I have just noticed that the bead under the ornamental triangle
had slipped so sorry for that!


I plaited loosely a brass chain and fabric to make the 
rope to hang it from.



I hope you have all enjoyed this piece please leave me your comments as I enjoy reading
 them and receiving your feedback.

Tim's clasic's butterflies


Hi everyone I thought I would try blogging on the move
We are  on our way to Cornwall and as usual Nick 
Has managed to miss the turning of to Salsbury 
and we are now heading to Southampton 



Well I did this card in the week I took a craft tag and stamped the 
Tim holtz  collage page stamp onto it with black archival ink.


I then highlighted areas with white gel pen Around the 
edges I blended faded jeans distress ink.


I used a Tim holtz paper with butterflies on and coloured 
these with red brick and spiced marmalade 
Distress Staines .


Then I used rock candy distress stickles on the wings.


The rock candy picked up the colour of the butterflies


An gold triple embossed strip was used 


Stick on and frame the butterfly name.


Tha dah! As Boots would say one card done. I hope you have 
Enjoyed this half on the go blog.
