Monochromatic

Hi Everyone,

If your looking for my BunnyZoe DT challenge card please scroll down one.

I'm back.  I know two posts in one day, lol.   This is my DT card for Live and Love Crafts where this week the DT will be inspiring you with Monochromatic projects.  I'll let you into a little secret,  when I joined my very first challenge team and I learnt one of the themes was Monochromatic I wanted to hide under the table, I never thought I would be able to do it, the theme just scared me soooo much and so did white on white.  But now I have to say I love it, and my favourite colours are all the cream and browns, so guess what colours I used today, lol.

I have used papers called Riddersholm Design called Tea Room  and used both sides of  the Riddersholm Fleamarket Notes.  All panels have been stitched.  The image is by Sarah Kay called Noel Joy and I have had her in my collection for a couple of years now and this is her first time meeting ink, OMG how bad is that.

I have coloured her in vintage photo distress ink and cut out the panel with a spellbinders die and layered onto another spellbinders scalloped oval and a spellbinders floral oval, I must have a thing about spellbinders at the moment, lol.  I added some tulle pleat trim , around the floral oval before mounting onto the papers.

Have you seen the beautiful Bark Hearts.  Priced at just 99p and you get four.  Don't they just look fab for Vintage cards and would look fab on Valentine cards too.  I added a Vintage Findings Beaded Centre and some Shabby Seam Binding.  The text, "For You", is from Maja Design It's Christmas Time Die Cut Sheet.  As you can see, it's not just for Christmas.

In the top left I have used a  Gardenia flower coupled with  some gorgeous Kort and Godt Chrysanthemum's which I was very lucky to win before Christmas, and swirled with the 3mm and 8mm string pearls.

The edges were distressed with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a sprinkling of Snow Tex, here and there.  Told you I loved this stuff, lol.

A close up of  the gorgeous brass butterfly with added pearls and a dusting of snow tex, he he he, it gets everywhere.

The whole image was coloured with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Oh  I nearly forgot there are two pins tucked away under my bark heart embellishment arrangement, one of the berries pins and one of the vintage brown hat pins, yum.

Lastly I finished off with some cream organza roses and some of the new lovely Cluny Lace with threaded trim.

I hope I have inspired you today and I look forward to reading your comments.  As always click on any of the pictures below which are directly linked to the product in the LLC store.

Anything Goes at BunnyZoe

Hi Everyone,

Hope your all well.  I am busy behind the scenes doing lots of projects and I have another one posting later today, so please pop back.

It's our first challenge of the New Year at BunnyZoe and the theme is an easy one, yep, Anything Goes. 

I have used one of the new Tilda's from the Love Collection, this little darling is called Tildawithpocket. I have also used the Magnolia Postcard stamp from the same collection and this can be seen on the righthand side on the inner panel.

All edges have been distressed with walnut stain distress ink and Tilda herself has been coloured with Distress markers.

 

The fabulous papers are by Magnolia and I cut out some of the lovely postcards out of the Love Letters paper and distressed. I have also used Magnolia doohickey dies Wrapped so lovely (heart tag, top left) and the heart swirl. The large flower swirl on the lefthand side bouquet is by Marianne Designs Creatables Tinys Flower 1.

The heart tag has been secured with a pearl brad latte onto beautiful shabby chic seam binding from LLC.

Hugs Tracy

Winter at LLC

Hi Peeps,

Hope you all had a great weekend.  Mine was very productive in that I cleaned the house top to bottom, cleaned the oven and had a major sort out of the airing cupboard and I made a card.  I'm worn out and back to work today and unfortunately it's not a short week :(

It's my first post for the LLC store blog and I am still very excited about this.  Live and Love Crafts do the most gorgeous embellishments, I am so grateful for Sandy for giving me the opportunity.  The girls have made me feel so welcome, they are a lovely little family.

I have chosen to colour a Magnolia image, Winter Skating Tilda, using copics.  I have matted Riddersholm Fleamarket paper and used both sides of the Riddersholm Ladylike.  I have also been busy stitching with my sewing machine.  I added a Melissa Frances Mini Bags and Tag at the very top and decorated with some Shabby Seam binding, Cluny Fan Lace and Bakers Twine add secured with a vintage pearl brad.  You will also see dangling from the brad two gorgeous Prima Velvet Trinkets. I also added a 4.5" doily, love doilies.

I added a Make It Crafty Snowflake Oval Frame and coloured this with prisma pencils.

 All the edges were distressed with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and I have dabbed some Snow Tex here and there and as Sandy has said, this is one of my favourite products.

I added some Cheesecloth under the main image and some gorgeous Scalloped Venice Lace and some Organza Roses Trim and added some pearls to the centres.

I cut out a Tim Holtz Poinsetta using the design papers and added a Vintage Findings Beaded Centre, gorgeous.

A little floral arrangement in the top right hand corner consisting of a white Gardenia and some Kort and Godt Chrysanthemum's and some Pearl String.

 A close up of the tag and those gorgeous Prima Velvet Trinkets - Zephyr.

The "Giggle" ticket is from Tim Holtz Adage Tickets and just finishes it all off nicely, I think.
