Sparkle take two ;-)

Evening everyone,

How's your Sunday been? I've been making gift boxes filled with chocolates and wax melts for my coming craft fairs..

I have another card to share now that made using the fab spectrum noir sparkle pens from Crafter's companions. These wonderful pens are on create and craft TV tomorrow for the 4day deal..

I coloured directly onto the stamped images for this card.. On the foxes tail I used the pen to put outline around the edge and then I used water brush to drag the ink/sparkle to the middle of the tail, giving a lot more softer look..

I used buttons and sentiment also from the stamp set..

Sparkle

Evening everyone,

How's your Saturday been? It's been wet and miserable here so I've spent most of the day in my craft room.. And have been sorting through my paperwork this evening ready for my end of year books :-(

Great way to spend a Saturday night :-(

Anyway I'm here to share one of the cards I made using the fantastic NEW sparkle pens from Crafter's Companions... These pens really are wonderful and can be used in so many different ways.

For this card I used them in the normal colouring technique..

I Blended two colours Inspired violet and amethyst on Water coloured card Then covered with crystal clear..

I used Flutterby embossalicious folder

Centura pearl card

Coredinates - darks

Collall 3d and all purpose glues

A clean and simple card, you can really see the sparkle in real life too much more than in the pic.

I'm sure these pens are going to be so popular, can wait to get some more time to play with them..

Downton Abbey

Evening bloggers,

Hope you are all well, I've been looking through my albums and see there are still loads of cards I've still not blogged.. (Some from this time last year, so I'm going to try catchy and share these with you by the end of this year lol)

But for now I have a selection of cards I made using the Downton Abbey Cd from Crafters Companions..

Now I love using art pads and hand coloured images for my cards but I also enjoy a bit of cd crafting too...

All these cards have been made using elements from the cd, card for mat and layering and glues, nothing else was needed ;-)

I think my fav is the deep red candle one..

I had great fun making these, hope you like them.

Hope you are all well..
I have a lot of things to blog about this week so I'm going to try and get organised and schedule a few posts, I know I've been slacking of late on here.. :-( so I do intend to get it sorted ASAP..

Anyway the first thing I have to share is that lili of the valley will be having some super special offers on starting from Wednesday and to go with it they will be having a challenge on their facebook page..

More details will follow on their page and website sortly but for now I will leave you with a card I've made using the gorgeous Holly tree stamp and LOTV Simple Joys paper pad
