Here's my card and I have chosen to use Piper, isn't she gorgeous, well actually aren't they all. I have also used some of the Little Darlings Dies, the Darling Square Set and the and the gorgeous Lovely View.  

The sentiment is from the Vintage "For All You Do" set and was cut out using the circle die from the Darlings Square set of dies and placed centre stage on the Lovely View.

Here's a peek at the inside.  Again I have used the dies to match the front of the card and added another Lovely View cut with a sentiment this time from the Vintage "Friends" set.

The papers are from Pion Design My Precious Daughter collection.  The mirror has been cut from a Marianne Design Vintage Mirror Die LR0321

Next on the hop is the gorgeous Stephanie Beauchemin

Altered Vintage Clock

Helloooooo Everyone,

I am soooooo uber excited to share my project with you today.  I love 3D projects and I think this one just has to be my favourite so far.  Angie from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps needed some PR work doing , but it had to be items around the house.  I have loved the idea of altering a clock for sometime now, so this was my chance and I grabbed it.  The clock is a station clock and is actually double sided.

I knew I had the theme of Numerals coming up for my DT project for LLC so I have combined the two and this is what I have come up with...............

I painted over the metalwork with white gesso and added some aged rose frantage.  You may recognise the paper on the inside of the clock as being MayaDesign Autumn Basics II .  I used the fabulous Mini Roman Numerals that Sandy has in store and don't they look just perfect....in fact the paper couldn't have been more perfect with the little clock on the left hand side too.

The image is called Puppy Love by Little Darlings Rubber Stamps and if your in the UK you can grab her from BunnyZoe. I added some wooden fencing which is from the Ribbon Girl but unfortunately can no longer be sourced.  I added some flower spray, rose buds, wild rose in dusky pink, hortesanias, cheese cloth and a prima embellishment.  I have added Marianne Design Swirl Leaves.

Did you notice the lace beading ion the inside.  I airbrushed  them with my copic marker E43 to make them cream and stuck them to the inside perimeter of the clock.  The large cream flower and the pink stars and pearls are from Crafts and Me.

On the top you will notice the flower arrangement, this time including a beaded berry and cascading down the right hand side some 2mm string pearls and also the 3mm and 5mm cream string pearls.  You can also see on the top left a PionDesign butterfly from the Studio of Memories cut out sheet and finished with a range pen nib.

All the way around the clock I have used the cream tulle, so shabby and perfect for my clock.  The sentiment stuck to the metal framework was pretty apt, "A Time Forever Etched in our hearts and memories", sums up time and a clock pretty well I think.  This was cut from the MayaDesign Autumn Vintage Basics XX sheet.

On the top right you will also see a little prima trinket with the word inspire.  Sandy doesn't have this exact one in store but you might want to check out what Sandy does have HERE as they are always handy to have in your stash.

The cogs that I added next to the numbers II and III have been coated in white picket fence crackle paint.

I hope I have inspired you to alter something.

Puppy Love & Izzy's Stroll

Morning Everyone,

I am so in love with this gorgeous couple called Puppy Love by Saturated Canary, aren't they just the cutest couple.

The papers are a mix using My Minds Eye Cupid Arrow and Magnolia 12x12 Peaceful, which incidentally is currently on sale at BunnyZoe for 60p a sheet so hurry whilst stocks last, love the pink and grey tones and I have created with this mix of papers.

I have coloured with Distress Markers and added some shabby pink frantage around the image.  This stamp can be used as I have or you could just stamp the boy or the girl separately.

I have used a few dies:-

Marianne Design Anja's Border LR0300   (for the shaped edge at the top of the card)

Marianne Design Swirls and Leaves 3 CR11245

Whimsy Eiffel Tower

The small pink roses are also by Marianne Design.

I have added a heart charm in the flower arrangement and some Marianne Design pearl flourishes to the butterfly on the left.

The black lace is by Kaisercraft available HERE.

I have a second card for you today and this one is not my usual style I'm afraid.  When I made this card for CHA last month I was struggling with RSI in my arm, so it was really painful but as it was for CHA it needed to be done, so I'm sorry my colouring isn't up to its usual standard.

The image is the new release by Candibean called Izzy's Stroll and is available from  Little Darlings Rubber Stamps.  I have also used the Petals and Lace  6x6 paper pad also available from Little Darlings.

The sentiment is from the new release also, it comes in a set and is called Vintage Affections Vintage Birthday.

Copic Markers:-

V17, V15, V12, V00

YG67, YG63, G99, G20

E00, E000, E11, R20

C5, C3, C1, C00

E25, E31, E50

Eva and Some Exciting News to Share

Morning,

I thought it was time to share with you another card that I made for CHA.  This little lady is called Eva by Saturated Canary available from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps HERE.  The sentiment is also from the recent CHA release and is from the Vintage Affections Everyday Release 1 set. Love these sets.

The papers are also by LDRS called Petals and Lace.

I have used several dies, yeah I know I'm addicted, lol.  These are all Noor Design Dies:-

Oval Frame

Butterfly Border

Vintage Flourish Butterflies

Vintage Birdcage and Bird

If you live in the UK these are all available from Craftsulove.

The flowers are all available from The Ribbon Girl with the exception of the lilac poppy and 20mm rose which are available from Live and Love Crafts.  I have also used cheese cloth, vintage seam binding and gesso, all available from LLC.

Now seeing as I have used so many Noor Design Dies it would be a good time to share with you some exciting news......................... the gorgeous Jolanda from Noor Design asked me to make two cards to appear in her new magazine which has just come out, eeeeeeeek, of course I jumped at the chance and the magazine is now available from HERE.  Lots of inspiration with all the Noor Design Dies inside and of course meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, lol.

Have a good week everyone.

Coloured with copics and distressed around the edges with walnut distress ink and a little shabby white frantage splattered around.

Lots of gorgeous flowers, gesso and rose ribbon all available from Live and Love Crafts.

Morning Everyone,

I've finally found some time to craft and what a little beauty this Little Darlings Saturated Canary image is.  She is called "Thank You" and is coloured with distress markers.

The shape was cut with a Go Kreate Die and the image is layered onto a Noor Design Joycraft oval die, gorgeous.  The papers are from MayaDesign Sofiero collection available from Live and Love Crafts.

The gorgeous flowers, two tone rose, rolled roses and kort and godt chrysanthemum are all available from Live and Love Crafts.  The postmark stamp is by Marianne Design as is the white leaves die that I used.  The SWEET zipper is by Prima and is also available from Live and Love Crafts. All with a little coating of gesso.

I have used the LDRS  Warm Fuzzies Use Your Words stamp set and cut out the letters to form the word HUGS.

Hugs Tracy x
