Tracy here and I have for you today a card using one of the new Candibean images. This one is called Izzy's Bumble Bee and if you are interested in seeing how I coloured the vase of flowers there is a little video tutorial on my blog.
I have a new camcorder and this was my video using it. The video shows how I colour the glass vase to look like it has water in and give it some dimension. I hope you enjoy it. I apologise or any shadowing when I'm colouring but I forgot to turn the light to my left on :(
Hope you all had a good weekend, where did it go again. I do like the lighter evenings and the sun is certainly shining in the UK at the moment.
I have for you today another lace/scrapbook and with the theme at LLC this week being "shabby" it's the perfect time for me to show you my latest book creation. This one was requested in Pink and Cream, isn't it yummy, well actually I don't think the pictures do it justice. I have also just completed a tutorial on making two different dress style books, so watch this space it will be coming shortly....
The base paper is Strolling down Rose Path from the Maya Design Sofiero collection, love these papers, so delicate and beautiful and certainly shouldn't be a limited collection.
The dress was made using two MayaDesign papers; Enjoying the lovely fragrance and Royal Residence with a layer of cream tulle . Some string pearls added to the neckline and placed onto a Maya Road hanger. Some sweet hortesania's placed at the waist to complete the look and these are just back in stock.
I've placed Maya Road Dress Clips at the top hold the laces in to give you an idea of how this will look if used as a lace book, but it could quite easily be used as a scrapbook.
At the bottom here you can see some cream flower spray, two tone rose and a beaded berry, a dashing of gesso and the scissors trinket to the left.
At the top you can just see on the very left the lace with beads, I do love this trim. The flower arrangement at the top consists of Wild Rose 30mm, 20mm two tone rose and 15mm two tone rose, I do like these too, hehehe, and some cream flower spray and again a little dashing of gesso to complete the shabby look.
As well as the MayaRoad Dress Clips you can also see some pins, vintage and beaded, don't they fit in well. Oh and if you look to the left on the top book ring you can see the prima Velvet Zephyr trinket dangling down, amongst ribbons, tulle, trims and lace, oh such yumminess all in one place.
The butterflies were made from the gorgeous Noor Design Butterfly Edge and single butterfly to create the pink and cream layers and finished off with a sweetheart blossom in the centres.
Oh I have a lovely image today for you called "Emily" by Whimsy Stamps and I decided I wanted Emily's swing to swing through the Marianne Design Birds Pergola. I cut out the image and added some twine as the swing rope.
I'm excited once again to share not only my second Lili of the Valley Guest DT card but I also finally have some yummy yummy anniversary Candy for you, woo hoooooooo.
First up is my LOTV card using this adorable cute couple called The Charleston. I decided to colour them in black and white and give an old vintagey feel to the card.
I have used Go Kreate Dies to create the shape and layers. The gorgeous papers are by MayaDesign,
The butterflies were made using the Tim Holtz on the edge butterfly Die and gesso dabbed here and there and a rose flower added to the centres.
On the left hand side the arrangement is made up of some film strip, bark heart, prima key, wild rose, 10mm rose and some flower spray.
Along the top you will see the Noor Design Music Note die, again with a little gesso. I have also added a Maya Road Love Clip.
On the right you will see the prima resin scroll corner and another flower arrangement and then two of the little Lili of the Valley Everyday Sentiment tags, these are soooooo darn cute and the set consists of 24 tags. The large wild roses are from The Ribbon Girl.
I have used the most gorgeous lace from LLC and I have added a new favourite embellishment of a Graphic 45 Butterfly and added s spin arrow and a brad.
OK now its time for candy. Gosh, can you believe it has been 4 years, well actually it seems longer but I've checked and it's definitely only 4 years, lol.
