Sing a Song

Hello friends, it feels like forever since I have shared something with you - it is not that I have taken a break - quite the opposite infact!! I have been busy working on posts and tutorials for while I am away on the Australian Mixed Media Roadshow...it has come around so quickly - infact I leave  tomorrow for Sydney and on Friday the international artists arrive - so exciting - cannot wait to see them all again!!  I will share as many photos as I can and post along the way..

In the meantime I have a card to share - a little bit Mixed Media, a bit shabby - an eclectic mix of wonderful products!  The darling image is from Dina Wakley  and has been coloured using Imagine Crafts Radiant Neon Inks.  The image has been fussy cut and layered onto the Spellbinders Floral Ovals.  For this layer I have used Celebra'tions paper and randomly smeared white paint across it - once it has dried I stamped the Quietfire Designs sentiment using Tuxedo Black Ink.

The Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace Flourish Frame has been layered onto Delightful Daisy cardstock, all layers have been adhered to a precut card base,  Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner and 3D Foam Squares have been used on this card. The beautiful bling is from from Want2Scrap.

A Little Birdie Told Me

Hello friends, It is Monday evening for me and it has been a beautiful autumn day.  I spent some of the morning out in the garden with my grandson Noah, who loves playing with the hose and kicking a ball around - at the same time!!  It is a beautiful time of year.

Speaking of beautiful - this Scribbly Birds stamp set - by Dina Wakley - I have loved it since it came out - but it was so hard to get.  At the recent Scrap Girls Retreat one of the ladies happened to have a set for sale, as she had ordered two, by mistake.  My dear friend knew I was after it and got in very quickly for me - one happy stamper here!!

The image has been stamped using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black, then coloured using Versafine Ink in Vintage Sepia (love this shade of brown) and Memento Luxe in Rose Bud, using sponge daubers. 

The coloured bird has been hand cut and popped up using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares onto white card that has been sponged using the same inks used to colour the bird then layered onto a precut cardbase.  The sentiment is from Stampers Anonymous Crazy Talk set.  Postmarks have been randomly added, along with Washi Tape and Linen Thread.  The precut base has been cut/embossed using 5x7 Matting Basics A Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Card Creator and the Platinum Die Cutting and Embossing Machine.
