Guest Designer Part Two

I am back to share the other two cards I created as a Guest Designer for the Craft Queen back in May. You can see the first two cards here, or scroll down to the previous post.

I have created these cards using some of the divine papers from Echo Park.

 

The image NinaB Designs set for The Craft's Meow is stamped onto Spellbinders Labels Eighteen Nestabilities and layered onto the Lacey Circles Nestabilities.

 

and for my final card I have used the Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three Shapeabilities®  and the border Die from the Ironworks Accents Shapeabilities®.  All of my Dies have been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine.  I have used ribbons and embellishments on all of the above cards, Nicole has so many divine products available in her store - it is so worth a visit!!

This card is for the following challenges:

Shopping Our Stash - Double The Ribbon - card 1

Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes

 Creative Mondays - Summer

House of Gilli - Vibrant Colours/Summer - card 2

Make it Monday - always Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp and Show... - Anything Goes

Gingerloft - Vintage

Lacey Bird

I am excited to be finally able to share a card with you using one of the new Penny Black images illustrated by my dear friend and ever so talented Laura Kirste Campbell - those of you who LOVED Layers of Color and have been missing Laura's artistic flair, will be happy to know she is back and ROCKING the images.

I love this Lacey Bird and the fact that it Co-ordinates with the Spellbinders Labels Twenty Nestabilities is such a plus.

The image has been cut out using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine  and coloured with SU Chalks/Pastels and my new secret weapon - the Tsukineko fantastix - I love these for colouring, they make it so easy - and we love that don't we!

The wing has been partially cut around and popped up onto a foam dot to give dimension but not bulk - to make it easier for posting. The shimmer is added with 3D Kindy Glitz - i love the texture this gives - it adds another dimension to the card.

This card is for the following challenges:

CCEE Stampers - Card with a vintage feel

DRS Designs - Anything that can fly

Little Miss Muffet Challenges - Rainbows, clouds or wings

Paper Crafting Journey - Handcoloured image

Sassy Studio Designs - Use something wet (stickles, smooch, glimmer mist, etc)

Southern Girls - Things with wings

I Brake for Challenges - Summer fun

Just Keep on Creating - anything goes

Make it Monday - always Anything Goes

Lavender Bells

It feels like forever since I have coloured an image - colouring is so soothing - don't you think!  I found this Penny Black image I was sent my someone about two years ago and thought it was time I coloured it (LOL!)

I have coloured the image using Prismacolor Pencils and Odourless Mineral Spirits.  It has then been cut out using Spellbinders Labels Eighteen and then popped up onto a Spellbinders Labels Twenty Die.  All does have been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur.

The image has been sponged around while still in the Labels Eighteen Die, creating a mask and giving a crisp white frame.

The flower is handmade by my friend Maxine and has been attached to a Seam Binding bow using a jewelled brad.  The bow is layered onto Seam Binding and lace.

Finishing off with some Want2Scrap Pearls.

This card is for the following challenges:

Let`s Ink It Up - Distressing

One Stitch At A Time - Anything Goes

PanPastel UK Challenge - Add a Flower

Stamptacular Sunday - Loaded with Layers

Sunday Stamper - Summer Colours

Shabby Elegant Love

I have been on a 'Shabby/Nostalgic' card run over ythe last few days and wanted to share a card with you

using the 'Sent With Love' stamp set designed by Nina Brackett for The Craft's Meow

and the Lovely Labels 18 set , that coordinates with the Spellbinders Labels Eighteen Die, along with the coordinating Nestabling - now I have to say at this stage, I am loving NESTABLING from Want2Scrap, I am a 'pearl girl' anyway so it is an instant hit with me! 

 I have stamped the image twice, cutting it out using a Spellbinders Standard Circles SML Die.  The butterfly on the second image has been cut out, coloured with SU Chalks/Pastels and the wings popped up with some foam tape, for that added dimension.  3D Kindy Glitz has been added to give a little but if shimmer.

The DP is from KandCompany, one of my favourite DP's of all time, I use it sparingly! LOL!  A border from the Spellbinders Ironworks Accents Die has been added to the lower edge.  All of the Dies have been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur - my favourite cutting machine!

This card is for the following challenges:

Cards und More - Glisten & Sparkle

Celebrate the Occasion - Thinking Of You

Crafty Bloggers Network - "Shabby Chic

SSIC LOC Because of You

Stampin Sisters in Christ always comes around so quickly and that is a good thing!  I always love to read the inspiration that is shared from the Word of God.  This weeks devotional is from Rebekka who has chosen the scripture:

 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him

Job 13:15

Rebekka has challenged us to make a card of praise,using music, stamp, or design paper or just the word praise

For this challenge I have created a tag usinga sentiment from the new Layers of Color Sweet Silhouettes clear art stamp.

I have used the Spellbinders Grand Calibur to cut out the sentiment using the Labels Eighteen Nestibilitie, using the Die as a mask.

The flower has been created using some Stampin' Up DP (this is from my scraps pile) and circle punches, the leaves from the Spellbinders Foliage Die

The divine padlock is the Spellbinders Timeless Heritage Die along with the Floral Doily Accents Border and the music is from and old Hymnal sheet, the DP is recycled backing from a Prima Flower packet - too good to waste!

This card is for the following challenges:

Challenge Up Your Life - Music

My Sheri Crafts - Be Thankful

Fabulous Friday - die cuts

Our Craft Lounge - thankful

 Aud Sentiments Challenge - Thank you OR Thanksgiving 

Do You Stack Up? - Inspiration Picture* Splash of Blue
