14 Craft Bar Inspiration.

Today I have a card with some easy and simple Foamiran flowers.

I have a tutorial for these flowers recorded and just have to edit it but in the meantime if you haven't seen the tutorials from the other DT ladies hop on over to the blog now to have a look at the great tutorials on using the all new 14 Craft Bar flower making stencils.

I used a stencil for the background on this card with some modeling paste and some iridescent medium and then added some color using Jane Davenport and Prima watercolors. 

The chipboards are from a huge selection in the 14 Craft Bar store and make sure to check in regularly as Agnes is constantly adding to the store. 

The butterflies and feather were part of a set coming soon to the store and I stamped them and then fussy cut them before using the watercolors to color them.

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to the monthly challenge over on the blog where the theme is ..... Anything Goes!!!!!

Mixed Media Notebook.

I recently gave up smoking (had my last on Sunday the 24th of September at 11pm!!!) and in order to try keep myself busy when I'm not running around after the little people I have been trying my hand at mixed media. Another benefit to quitting my disgusting habit is having more money to build up my supplies woohoo!

I was asked to make a Tiffany style box card recently for a sister who was turnning 50 and had been a huge help to her sister so the customer wanted a lot of photos on the card and then asked if I could make a notebook so that I could add more photos and I decided to have a little fun trying out some new to me techniques and this was the end result.

Thank you for stopping by.

Marilyn Monroe, bingo and the Wicked Queen from Snow White!!!

I like to find out the likes of a recipient of one of my cards so that I can try to make it personal and recently I had to make cards for a mum who loved bingo and who was called Marilyn and liked Marilyn Monroe too. Once I heard Marilyn Monroe I automatically thought of those beautiful black and white prints of her but her lips are red so that is where the color scheme came from. I have wanted to make red Foamiran roses and this was the perfect opportunity to finally try the red!

This is what I came up with!

I design and cut boxes for my cards on the Silhouette Cameo and also use the Cameo to print and cut almost all of the elements on my cards!

Next up is this card that was to feature the Evil Queen from Snow White.

Again I made Foamiran roses for this card but this time I used purple Foamiran and colored the tip of the petals using a black oil pastel.

I also used the new and exclusive 14 Craft Bar stencils to create another style of flower, don't think it is an actual real flower but it is quick and easy so I think it will feature on a lot of my cards!!

I love how the red roses turned out, I may try a bigger more life sized version soon!

Thanks for stopping by.
