Under the Sea!

Over the weekend I attended a workshop in Bristol and had an amazing day - really relaxing which is just what I needed after a busy and stressful week at work!

There will be picture overload on this post as the amount of detail that went into the bag was tremendous.  The dies are from Heartfelt Creations which was the first time I had worked with these, and have to say that I was impressed.

Oh well, here goes:

Each piece of the bag was cut in card and then we assembled it and was covered in the Heartfelt Creations paper.  I loved the colour combo of turquoise and peach.

There were lots of different elements included, from shells, sea horses, jelly fish and even the odd tortoise gets featured!

                               

I particularly like the seahorses and I added a couple in different colours!

And how about the jellyfish - these were just adorable!

All the elements were stamped onto cardstock and coloured in using watercolour pens and also aqua pencils, which were just lovely to work with.

I have also been playing with some MDF items so may share those with you next time.  Then I must get back to making some cards;-)

Until next time, take care.

Retro Roses

Well I hope everyone has had a lovely Easter.  I have had a very quiet few days and also been looking after a friends horse, so that has kept me out of trouble!

 

I have a weeks holiday this week so am hoping to get some crafting done, so watch this space!

 

This week I am sharing yet another card I have done with Julia Watts, and I think this is one of my favourites ............. I am always saying that aren't I!

 

Anyhow for this card we did some colouring using the Tim Holtz distress markers applied with a watercolour brush,  which I really like.  I enjoyed the colouring far more than I thought I would and it was great to use the Stamps to Die For Retro Roses which fits the Sydney die.  The background die is also one of the new Spellbinders card creator dies.

 

The recipe for this card is as follows:

Foundations cardstock - coconut white and milk
Spellbinders Card Creator Deco Lux
Sue Wilson Dies - Delicate Fronds, Orange Blossom Closed Petals, Sydney Die
Retro Lavish Sentiments stamps
Stamps to Die For - Retro Roses
Archival black ink
Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels
Watercolour pens
Tim Holtz Distress Markers - broken china, evergreen bough, shaded lilac and cracked pistachio

I hope you have enjoyed this card, and will hopefully have something a little different to share with you next time!

Until then

love
