Digi samples continued

Hi all

Continuing the samples I made for my latest launch of digi stamps.

digis may 12 012This card uses the frame, flowers and the butterfly digis. Everything is tinted using a grey copic/promarker pen.

I cut round the inside of the frame image and mounted over a stamped text.

The flowers cut out and layered to the bottom corner of the frame.

digis may 12 013The butterflies mounted onto wire threaded  with beads.

This second card uses another frame and butterfly image

digis may 12 019 Cut using a scalloped circle die and coloured with copics. The seam binding ribbon was also coloured to match the flowers.

digis may 12 020and some Glamour dust  to finish.

I’m in the process of having a good long over due clear out at the moment so thought I’d have a coffee and a 5 min breather doing this post.

Thanks again for stopping by

Quick post…

tonight as my bed is calling.

This weeks card challenge at Scrapbook Sisters blog is ‘Bunting’.

For this challenge I have used the birds from one of my Christmas digi stamps to hold the bunting.

Red,White & Blue

Is this weeks card challenge on the Scrapbook Sisters Blog and very fitting for a fantastic extended holiday weekend of celebrations. I wasn’t lucky enough to experience any of it London but watched most of it on the TV. I must say that the concert was outstanding. I’m glad I watched it on my own as I had the TV up full blast and was dancing round the living room to most of it. If anyone had seen me they would have thought I’d lost the plot!

Anyway this is my take on this weeks theme.

card challenge 001I drew the Union Jack onto the backing card and the butterflies and coloured with copics and tinted the edges with walnut distress ink.

card challenge 002The butterflies and flowers with ribbon are from my latest digi stamps. The blue paper and postcard stamp are from the ‘Portobello Road’ range from Papermania.

card challenge 007The wording is a Kaisercraft stamp. I used blue micro beads to accent the centres of the flowers  and over the postcard.

card challenge 008Seam binding ribbon coloured with a copic/promarker pen.

card challenge 009Butterflies and flowers cut out and the card assembled.

Don’t forget to enter a card into the challenge. Its lovely to see what everyone creates and gives inspiration to others.

I hope everyone had a great long weekend, back to reality now!

Digis 3

Hi everyone. What a bleak Jubilee Sunday. Was aiming to visit the Garden Show today but didn't fancy walking round in this horrible drizzle, what a change from last weekend. Typical British Bank Holiday weather- Yuk! so I have decided to do another post and chill out with some crafting today.

This is the next set of cards I made using one of my flower digi stamps for my class at Scrapbook Sisters.

digis may 12 027The shapes of the card are cut with various dies and stamped with text and the card tinted with distress inks.digis may 12 028The flowers are coloured with copics, cut out and layered to give 3D effect and covered with glossy accents.

digis may 12 030The butterfly added and again covered in glossy accents .

digis may 12 029

The second card is very simple just coloured flowers and layered with the message

digis may 12 009digis may 12 010Ranger black enamel dots for the centres of the flowers. 

digis may 12 011If you are interested in obtaining any of these images they are available to buy on disc from Scrapbook Sisters. The disc contains the 10 images I produced for this set so you can resize and print off on whatever card or paper you want and pictures of the sample cards to give you some inspiration.

Have a great Jubilee Bank Holiday everyone.
