Hi everyone,
Well not sure what the rest of the world is like at the moment,
but we are having a heatwave over here in Sunny England.
I think I have been well and truly cooked this week,
and that is without trying.

Well I officially have my Open Day

all ready for me to start my Course in September.
 I am so looking forward to it,
I can't wait.

These two amazing and lovely Ladies,
Debbie and Linda are having a Crafty Weekend.

My Project this

week is:-

Far East Enchantress Digi Stamp

from Lacy Sunshine Stamps

(our sponsor)

To begin with I used a Pre-cut White Card

(stash)

which I covered with Turquoise Glitter Card
(stash)
and cut out the corners following the Base-Card Design.
on the Inside of the front I placed Marbled Pink Paper
(stash)
so that you could see it through the cut-outs.

Next I Die cut out some Salmon Pink Card
(stash)
and the Oriental Dragonfly Paper
(which I found in a Paper-tray which was gifted to me)
using the 10.3cm and 9.5cm Circle Dies
(Sizzix)

Next I printed the Image out

  on White DC Paper

and coloured it in

using my Promarker Pens

                                                           Satin                   - Skin

                                                           Blush                  - Cheeks

                                                           Almond              -Fans/Wrap

                                                           Meadow Green - Leaves

                                                           Pear Green        - Leaves

                                                           Marsh Green     - Leaves

                                                           Pastel Green      - Dress

                                                           Turquoise           - Dress

                                                           Marine                - Eyes/Dress

                                                           Black                   - Eyebrows/Hair

Then I fussy cut the Image out and placed it in the Circle.

To make my Fan I used a 2 x 12cm Strip of Cherry Blossom Paper
(Japanese Pattern - Digital Magic Shop)
and folded concertina style in 0.5cm folds.
Then I pinched one end together and bound it with String.
 Using 5mm Turquoise Ribbon
(Boyes Haberdashery)
 I wrapped a piece around the handle
then Handmade a small Bow with long ends to go on the top.
then I just Fanned the Top edge out.

I have some Iridescent White Flower Ribbon
(Boyes Haberdashery)
which I cut 4 individual Flowers from 
and placed on the Card.

To add some sparkle I added some
 Holographic Mint Green Glitter

(Glitter Magic) 

to the Belt and Under-layer of the Skirt

And finally some 3mm AB White Pearls
(stash)
to the center of each Flower and the Bow.

My Project for this

week is:-

Hollaback Girl Digi Stamp

from Kenny K 

(one of our sponsors)

To begin with I chose a pre-cut Tri-fold White Card

(stash)

Then I cut some Pearlised Light Blue Card

(stash)

to cover the front of the Card.

for the Base I used Dark Green Card

(stash)

and I cut and extra 1.5 Wide strip so that

the front could stand up.

Next I printed off the Image 

on White DC Paper.

I coloured the Images

using my Promarker Pens.

                                               Satin                   - Skin

                                               Putty                  - Skin

                                               Pastel Green     - Wall

                                               Grass                 - Bracelet/Belt

                                               Holly                  - Trousers

                                               Azure                - Eyes/Bracelet/Wall Top

              

I then backed the Image on to a piece of stiff White Card

and cut the Image out with the Scalloped Oval Die

(X-Cut XCU503406)

I then went around the edge of the Die-Cut Image

 with my Azure Promarker Pen.

and to give it a touch of Sparkle

I went over the top of the pen with

Multi-Mix Blues Glitter

(Glitter Magic).

 to fit inside oval of the Die Cut.

 And then fussy cut out the Frame 

to fit on top of the Image,

over the Die cut Cream Card.

I went around all ot the edges 

with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink

(Tim Holtz)

 Using some Scraps of Pearlised Red, Orange and Yellow Card

and some Pearlised Purple and White Paper

(all from my scrap box)

I used 2 Flower Punches

(Petal Pair, Set 3 - Tonic)

and added them to the Blue background.

Using the Holly Promarker Pen 

I scribbled on some Grass, Flower Stems and Leaves,

under the flowers.

and drew on 2 Bumblebee's using

Sunflower and Black Promarker Pens.

  

To finish off I added to the center of the Flowers 

6mm Dotted Yellow Rhinestones

(stash).
