LiM 113

Hi fellow bloggers hope you are having a good Easter. I have been eating quite a bit of cake - shame to let it go to waste Lol! Still time for some crafting and this week's LiM is to use scallops.

I have used a scalloped edge base card and then added octagon spellbinders  - [one plain and one scalloped] layered in an offset way  and then offset on  a toning ribbon and then added 3 gems toning  with the stamped image.

LiM 112

Hi fellow bloggers
Hope you are having a good weekend.
I have been making some jewellery bits this week -about time really Lol!
Anyway back to this weeks LiM challenge - to use beads - this isn't something I would do on a card so was a bit of a task to think what to do,

Anyway I came up with this design.
I used: -
apple green vellum layered twice
spellbinders heart circles
wire and seed beads
cocoa memento
odd sentiment stamp
crafters companion glitter spray for a bit of bling

Letter card

Hi fellow bloggers - I have so much crafting to catch up on!!
I made a letter card for a friend this time as I had some news to share and thought this would be a nice way to do it.

I used cream card for a more vintage look as I had stamped and triple embossed the image [old free stamp from craft stamper magazine] to give a more aged look without too much distressing. It was matted onto moss green lattice frame from spellbinders and then I used the card builder set to make additional mats. The image was coloured in before being embossed. The pale cream ribbon [from paper chase] and caramel ribbon [from Mei flower crafts] finished off the framed image.

LIM 111 - frame it

Hi fellow bloggers - glad to be back as have had one lurgy after another for a few weeks and now hope I have shaken them all off!

The LiM challenge this week is to frame your focal point and as I have a friend who loves cats have made one to send her.

I cut out a frame with a sizzix embosslit and then stamped on the frame with cat paw prints from a set I got some years ago from Lakeland. I then stamped a cat on a blue plastic material and cut it out with a spellbinders oval and stuck inside the card. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Used:

• Memento black ink for paws and sentiment
• stazon smokey grey for cat
• spellbinders lacey ovals
• lakeland catitude stamp set

LiM 107

Hi fellow bloggers - hope you have had a lovely weekend. I thought I would get some crafting done but only managed a LiM entry - where does the time go?

The theme this week is "Up in the air" and is to feature something that flies. I tried using a kite die but it just wouldn't work for me so had bought these stamps from creative expressions for my son's scrapbook and thought the balloon would work. I kiss stamped two in Stazon straight on the card and then stamped the third on coloured card. The sentiment is from a different set. The sentiment and the coloured balloon are raised and the card is edge tinted with  dove grey stazon.
As I have to scan entries at the mo due to computer not liking my camera it does look a bit flat.
I have used: -

• Creative Expressions stamps - Vintage travel set
• Stazon Stone Grey and Dove Grey
• Orphan sentiment stamp

LiM - One layer

Good morning fellow bloggers - crafting time a bit short lately as my job has changed drastically and trying to catch up with it! - although cheated a bit last week by scheduling 3 posts so it looked as though I had made something each of the days Lol! Anyway finally got round to the latest LiM challenge.

The theme this week is one layer and music. I had recently bought these stamps from Joanna Sheen for a scrapbooking project for a friend and thought they would fit the bill.

I have used: -

• craftworks card base
• 2 of the Joanna Sheen "Groovy baby" stamps
• orphan sentiment stamp
• crimson brilliance inkpad
• black archival inkpad
• brown watercolour pencil
• crafters companion spray and sparkle silver
