New Release - Katy Hare Part 6

This is the final image recently released by Sugar Nellie, and is available from Funky Kits. I love this image, and it really isn't as daunting as it looks, I have lots of ideas for this image, but may have to wait til the summer holidays! Only 4 weeks and 4 days to go!! Not that I'm counting!lol!


Right this image is called Entangled, and I love it! Its so different, pop and have a look at the original here.
It is one of those images that every time you look at it you see something different.

To add a little detail, I have spotlighted some of the pattern paper, from MME and finally added a sentiment, from Stampin' Up.

Hope you have like these images this week. I have looks of new stuff to show, and I can play today, as I was very good yesterday and did do some reports.

Have a lovely Sunday.

New Release - Katy Hare Part 5

This gorgeous image is called Worried, and like all the others is available now, in rubber from Funky Kits.

I coloured him very simply using my promarkers especially the blender pen, which has given it a real water colour effect.

I created a gate fold card and matted papers and card to the front, then cut out the image and mat using a nestie.

Again I used the papers from My Minds Eye. I do love them, most of the ranges are gorgeous, and have just bought some more from Dies to Dies for. I was so surprised I ordered them on Wednesday they were here Thursday Morning!!!! How is that for Service!

The sentiment is from Stampin Up. I love this set, it just seems to say exactly what you want but simply. Again both cut out using my nesties.

Last image to show tomorrow.

Have a lovely day the sun is shining, I have a weekend of freedom from family to look forward to !!!!! Report Writing again!!!!! And Back is relatively pain free with no pain killers!!!

New Release - Katy Hare Part 4

Here is another scheduled post.

Here I have used the image Searching.

I think the clouds behind her could also be coloured as trees/bushes.

I wanted to do something a little bit different so riped the paper, give a faux gate fold look. The papers are from MME, and sentiment from Stampin' Up.

Well I'm hoping by now that I am pain free, so can enjoy the weekend.

New Release - Katy Hare Part 3

This is Garden Daisy.

She looks like she works so hard, tending her garden.

Again a very simple card, papers are MME. The image was cut out using an oval nestie and then I inked the edges before removing it from the die.

I had a slight accident, so covered it up using a square of patterned paper.

And again a Stampin' Up sentiment

A Break tomorrow as it time for another Sugar Bowl Challenge!

Take care

New Release - Katy Hare Part 1

This is Artist Betty, she is so cute.

Today started a week of scheduled posts, got a really heavy week at work, the nerves in my back and hip are playing up, am in a lot of pain, so can't sit for too long!!!!!! need to go to the doctors.Therefore thought I'd show the cards I have made using Kathy Hare's new stamps, available at Funky Kits, and have a bit of a rest this week.

All the cards I am showing this week (except Thursday) are really simple and using the same papers and colour scheme.

The papers are from MME and the sentiment is SU.

I inked all the edges, after cutting squares from the papers, mounted them to the front of the card, Cut the image using a nestie, and then added the sentiment.

Hope you like, more tomorrow!

Sugar babes Blog Hop!

We are having another little friendly blog hop.

The Sugar babes and myself have got together to showcase the new Kathy Hare images, released by Sugar Nellie, they are available now at Funky Kits.

I fell in love with them all the moment I saw them. It was really difficult to choose which image to use, but with a little help, I decided on this one. LITTLE BEAR.

I have been wanting to have a play with some distressing inks, so went for a quick make!!!!!! I stamped the images using Faded Jeans Distress Ink.

I then used a water colour brush and just dragged out the colour. I also went back when it had dried and added a little darker tones, this has given the image some texture I think!

Here is a tag and sentiment all using Stampin' Up Stuff! The ribbons were from my stash.

And the finished card..........

I used a nestie to cut out the image and water coloured some very faint hills in the background.

I created the background using a Stampin' Up stamp and the Faded Jeans ink, over the top I used some white ink. It was then finished off with inked up edges.

I hope you like, It is very different for me.......... NO PROMARKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have a lovely day, make sure you visit the rest of the Sugar babes, their creations are sure to be gorgeous.

I have scheduled this post so am now off to bed.

Meet Audrey - Honourary Member of the Roll Call Set

She is a cute. I recently bought the Roll Call Set from The Greeting Farm, this isn't one of those images, its a digi image, but I really do think it suits the set and I couldn't resist. I coloured her using my Copics, as my Promarkers don't work well with my printer ink!!!

I then dug out some old Making Memories Papers, which matched the colour scheme.

This sentiment is from Stampin' Up as are the Tag Punches. The Brad however was made using my i-top. I stuck a co-ordinating piece of ribbon on the punch out before squeezing it into the brad daddie.

I also created a plain brad without the ribbon. I also punched out some Brad blank papers, sanded them and created a flower (thanks Marlene).

And there you are a finished card.

I'm back at work today, so this is a scheduled post!!!!

I have many cards planned this week.

Tomorrow is our friendly group Blog Hop, the Sugar Babes get together once a fortnight to show off some creations, so make sure you pop by.

After that I have a series of cards to show using the new Kathy Hare Images, from Sugar Nellie, available now at Funky Kits.

So a busy week planned and that's before I go to work.

Have a lovely week, hope the weather improves too!

Take care

Well it was a challenge to colour but, once I got started, it was really easy, this was my first attempt!! Definitely one to try, especially at this time of year for all those teachers out there, this is what my hair and brain is like sometimes. I love the detail, every time I look at it there is another thought of how I can use it.
I have lots of ideas but you are going to have to wait!!!!

Ok Lets take a tour of my card:

I used a Tim Holtz Adage Ticket for the sentiment, but inked it using Old Olive from Stampin' Up and then dabbed some ruby coloured stickles on the edges, then I punched some leaves and added those too!

There is so much detail i this stamp, that you could really pick any of it as a theme for your card, I chose the ROSES

These are from my stash, perfect match too!!

And then a rose created using the new Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers Die, I added some glossy accents and then again dabbed on some stickles.

Isn't this image just divine, I really love it! The lady has a very Afro/Caribbean look to me so I coloured the skin to suit, very challenging as its the first time I have done it, and it needed to be right! It was so easy!

Here is a dimensional shot. The cardstock was Old olive and Rose red, with some designer series papers from my stash. The ribbon is from My Mind's Eye and the Stamp set is True Friend, from Stampin' Up, inked using Old Olive and Rose Red.

I have lots of ideas of how to use this image but you are going to have to wait!!!!

This is really important day so I really hope you have liked what you have seen, Now go to Funky Kits and treat yourselves and have a play, I would love to see your creations as would Karen and the rest of the team.

Have a lovely day.
