I am working on a summer art project, the weather here has finally brightened up and I am looking froward to some nicer days - Summer tag #2
This background is a new embossing folder - just could not resist the little ships.  There are several companies making embossing folders now not just cuttlebug etc, and there are some really super ones about (and much cheaper - I do think Cuttle bug had shot themselves in the foot only doing sets of 4).

The sandcastle is Stretch N Bubbles - HERE - made quite small and coloured with copics, then sprayed with Adirondack spray wash (I see they have just relaunched those - I have the original ones - lovely and messy).  I cut out and layered the front bit with the 2 towers for a bit of dimension .

Right I am off to sweep a bit in the garden - have a great day all

This little shoe is from Stretch N Bubbles - HERE


All I did was to outline the shoe in gold metalic.  I coloured the fluff - punched a few holes - and threaded fluffy fibre through them.  You can't see the detail - but all the papers are edged in gold metalic and the image and text are matted with mirror gold.  The tiny spots are gold pearl drops

I wanted to keep the fluffy look - and I think it looks really cute

Rollerskates!

Now this image takes me back to my childhood... my favourite 'teen toy' was my pair of rollerskates....


I made this bright card a nice big 6 x 6 card... flipped the image and mounted with foam tape to make it pop... I coloured with matte gel  and glitter pens, I had to use glitter, since I wore my skates so much in the 80s... even if the glitter was in my hair and on my face... come to think of it, glitter is still on my face!

You can find this wonderfully retro set of TWO images ....a single skate, and a pair.... right here in the Stretch N Bubbles shop...
And you are very welcome to visit my personal blog to read more about this card, and my SNB creations!  Thanks for peepin!

This darling little Ark in in the shop HERE









Another trick with your digis - you can change the colour of the lines.  If you use a publishing program you will find a button called 'recolour image' - click on it and choose the colour you want the lines, and match them to your paper.

This has brown lines

 And this one has blue lines
It is a really elegant and simple look - fantastic if you have a really detailed image or you don't like to colour

have fun

Since I started decorating my summer house the weather has turned again - sorry about that folks.
Well as I am in summer mode - and it's raining and hailstones - picked a summer image for Stretch N Bubbles today

and I wanted to try out the slanted easel card.

I do like easel cards - you get extra space to play with.





Closed - the rosette is hand made from co-ordinating paper - and the centre is a bottle cap.  TOP - did you know you can run bottle caps through the Cuttlebug to flatten them?

Standing up -  I could not decide whether to keep the base straight to the shelf - or the twist straight.  O ended up keeping the base straight.  I think I prefer the normal straight ones - but either way - I love this style
 
hope you like it

It's all very well playing in my summer house all day - now I am behind with my Stretch N Bubbles stuff - opps.

Talking about the Summer House - as I have changed the colour scheme - my blue pen pot did not suit - so that is todays project - a super dooper new pen pot.  I got this idea from making my handbag gift box a few weeks back - same nesties cut shapes - but bigger - with a section inbetween for pens. I made 2 - 8cm x 3cm boxes and stuck them together because I like my pens to stay tidy.
I have used this fap cool fairy from the shop HERE


Just as a side note - I don't add nearly as much bling when it's a project for me.  This really is for my summer house so I can chuck the tatty old blue one out.  If I was making it for the stall It would have loads more glitz - interesting that!!!!!

I have really taken to this ethnic looking flower

I can see it doing so many different things

This time I have filled the bigger spaces with different glitters - and the smaller central spaces with copic colour.

The gold is Beadazzles - it's a mixture of tiny, tiny beads and tiny flat circles in several different tones: this one is various golds and a copper.  The stem and leaf are micro-glitters

Tweet Tree!

Here's a 'tweet' tree ....aptly named "Tweet Tree"! This is one of my favourite SNB images, so I couldn't help to showcase it for you....

We've had grey skies for some time now, strange for summer, so I wanted to use bright spring colours... I coloured the image with an Aquash water pen and markers, and stardust pens. I added rhinestones as the flower centres for some bling! I kept the matts simple but bold ... hoping everything in your Spring is nice and green!

The Tweet Tree image can be found here at the SNB shop, and you can find this card and many more SNB creations on my personal blog.  Thanks for peepin'!

I picked up this teapot in the Stretch N Bubbles shop this month and it has a really Japanese looking cherry blossom on it.  I have some blossom paper that the old goat brought me back from the USA, so I dug it out.







The embossing folder is one of the Cuttlebug one that is a bit bigger that normal.  I cut around the blossom pattern in the backing paper so that I could pull it to the front one the embossed pattern card.  Then I drew round the edges of the petals to make them stand out more from the rest of the pattern.

There is a really pretty soft look to the card and the edges all blend together.

So off you go and find some pattern paper and cut round the shapes - see what happens
