Deep Ocean Challenge DT Card

Hello everyone how are you all. Do you know what once christmas was over I thought the days would now seem longer, you know not go so fast!!! Nope I'm certain they go faster.....or is that a sign you are getting older. Lol no dont be daft I'm only 21 how is that old...........sssshhhhh dont tell them about the added VAT on that ;-)

Ok so I'm late again with a DT card, I'm sure since I've gone very light blonde its bleached what few brain cells I had.........seriously ;-)

Ok so it is of course time for a new challenge over at Deep Ocean & its one I lurve, its something I rarely miss off cards.......except those silly men cards & I dont know why they cant love lace, flowers & foofy.........come on guys get with the program!!!

Ok going off topic again........the challenge is.....

LACE

.....yep just add lace, if you have none pull it off your knickers girls.....or guys pull it off your ladies knickers.........just dont say I told you do it ;-)

This is a card I was commisioned to do & I all I knew is it was for a girl, thats it. The rest was up tom me. Now on commisioned I wont do Magnolia unless they ask for it as I know not everyone is a fan of that. I did however choose Sylvia Zet because who could possibly not love her images.

The image is a topper from Hobby House....strange thing is I have this in stamp form as well lol, but they are fab when you dont have time to colour.

The shape was made using a Go-Kreate die & the inside was done the same as the front &all edges were inked & machine sewn.

The gorgeous papers are from Noor Design UK & are called 'Craft & You - Lavender Garden', I used the 12x12 pad.

The fence is an older Whimsy die which I cut in half. All the flowers are from Noor Design UK.

Dies used are La La Land Crafts which is the Lattice Doily Border, & I've used Magnolia 'Lovely Umbrella' die which I've been after for soooooo long then finally found a shop selling it in the UK beginning of January...........its not took me long to use it has it lol.

The leaves under the flowers are also Magnolia. Lace is from my stash & also the little clay butterfly on the fence.

The sentiment is CC Designs & came with the stamp 'Swiss Pixie Birthday Princess', I have actually coloured this little lady up & she's on a card.......I've just not had time blog her lol. The card has been made about a fortnight I think lol.

Well thats it from me this but please pop along to see my teamies fabulous creations & we hope you will join us in our 'LACE' Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.

Tatty buy & big hugs

The More You Read & CANDY!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone I'm here with my DT Project for the Noor Design UK blog using the uber fabulous Shape Art Book by Dutch Doobadoo.

First though we have just reached over 40,000 visitors on the Noor Design UK blog, so why not pop on over there & check out the candy you can win. It will run for a week.

Ok I have to say I love, no I mean I LURVE this Book Art template, its fabulous & something that will be used a lot.........

I have used black card as my base as I thought it added a bit more pop especially against the gorgeous colours that are in this Botanical Paper pad I've used.

I've inked & distressed all the edges & on one side I curled the tops over, just to make it look oldish & well read ;-) This is I'm keeping for myself so I did a test, I used 2 different methods to add a bend to the page & a gap between each page. This side I used 3D glue & the other side I used large Foam Pads & I have to say the foam pads are so much easier but use larger ones, that's only my opinion of course.

The 3D glue was good but you have to hold it in place until it sets..........ok if you are a telly watcher whilst crafting but I'm impatient & not a tv watcher lol.

Ok so my quote is a Dr Seuss quote & this one came with a Sylvia Zet image a long long time ago but I love this quote & thought it perfect. I used the Cutting & Embossing Parchment die to layer the quote on which I also inked & curled the corners.

I've used my favourite Swirld die under the flowers & one of the many gorgeous leaf dies.......eventually I would love them all........its hard to choose a favourite. I added flowers from my stash & calmed the colours down a bit with gesso.

I added seam binding & a fine pearl string to the centre, also made a bow with the seam binding to tie it all in.

I just added an image to this side, its a digi image so was able to make her larger & then fussy cut her out.

The image I found a long time ago & its from Jess College Fund but cannnot find the link ot it, sorry.

I've coloured her with copics......colours used are......
