OWL LOVE

Hello everyone.....how are you all? Well I'm finally showing you a card that has been made for about a week but as I have a new craft room that needs painting & my crafty bits moving into I've been concentrating on my DT projects......
Finall though I'm gonna show you one of the cutest Owls ever......I love this image, I've never coloured an Owl before but I couldnt resist this.....
He is from La La Land Crafts & is a digi image.
....see now isn't this a cute Owl.......you can of course get her here, you get the Owl & 3 sentiments.
I have coloured him in distress ink markers & refills. In all honesty I'm not 100% happy with the colouring, so am gonna do him again but on Fabriano paper.....this I did on Canson.
I added stickles to the heart on his chest & the heart balloon.
I have also used 3 La La Land Craft dies, the Scalloped Border at the top, the Street Lamp & the Banner at the bottom which I also added Letters from a Maja Design sheet to say 'LOVE'.

The paper I've used is Maja Design 'Nyhavn' 12x12 sheets. I inked the edges with Pumice Stone & also added White Gesso to them.
The lace, Pink frilly stuff & the pearl beading are all from LLC.

For the shape of the card I used a Go-Kreate die. I'm not stitching yet as my sewing machine is not set up :-(
In the top corner you can just see a Little Darlings 'Gilded Doily' die behind the flowers, this you can get form Noor Design UK. The flowers are WOC, some of them are from Noor Design UK, I added pearl string in amongst the flowers. The leaf die is my new favourite to be honest & is Craft & You 'Willow Twig' die 2.


Tracy over at Noor Design UK has ordered La La Land dies & will be getting them into her store soon......I cant wait as these truly are FANTASTIC dies, one of the best I've used. I've had some for a while & cant wait to get more when Tracy has them in stock....I have a list ready lol.

Well that's it form me, I will be back to show you another card over the weekend ;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by

Blue and Pink Over At Noor Design UK

Hello.....well its Tuesday so what does that mean.......yes its my turn to post a DT project for Noor Design UK......... This week I have made not 1 project but 2 different projects & not one coloured image in sight.........I know I think I'm sickening for something ;-)

Ok lets show you the 2 things I've made with the same Template........links to everything used will be at the bottom of the post.
I will show you the blue one first........
I have made a Tag using the Dutch Doobadoo 'Shape Art A4 Tag XL'........there are so many different sizes to be made with this......its fab.

I've used Dutch Doobadoo paper Art for the 'Birdcage' & the 'Birds'. The birds sitting at the bottom I covered with shabby blue fran-tage.
I've also added Scrapiniec 'Best Wishes' chipboard & also covered that in blue fran-tage.
There is another Scrapiniec chipboard at the top.

I've added a small tag using a Joy Crafts die & stamped a sentiment on it with  Little Darlings 'Best Friends' stamp set. The flowers & glass berries are from Noor Design UK. I've also added in a bit of pearl string amongst the flowers.

Ok now for the Pink Project ;-) again using the Tag Template....
This is a card I've made with the Tag Template. The papers I've used are sooooo gorgeous. I have mixed 2 different Craft and You papers, 1 from the My Wedding collection & the other from the Rose Garden collection........I think they have gone beautifully together.
I've used a Scrapiniec chipboard as the main focus with a sentiment from the Little Darlings Friendship stamp set.......I love this stamp set can you tell lol. I've also added a little bird on the corner..

I also made a pocket inside & anothe Tag to go in that pocket. I added the gilded oval die for somewhere to write your message on.

I've kept the inside quite simple as the focus is on the front & I wanted to show the paper off more on the inside.
The sentiment is form the same stamp set. I've distressed all the papers, inked the edges with distress ink & added white Gesso here & there.

On the first tag you will see a scalloped border, this is actually a La La Land Crafts die, love thier dies, Tracy will soon be stocking these over at Noor Design UK.......so watch this space ;-)

Thats it from me, hope you have a fabulous day & why not do some shopping over at Noor Design the New Magnolia doo-Hickey set is due in the shop this week, so gets yours while there are still a few left.....these are excellent value for money & this one is all about Fairytales........
I cant wait for mine arrive ;-)

Thanks for stopping by
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxxx

Noor Design UK DT Card - Friendship

Hi everyone I'm here today with a bit of inspiration using fabulous products from Noor Design UK.
Would you believe I've gone all CAS today..........think I must be sickening for something lol. Now I lurve my foofy cards but I also love CAS cards.........well I love everyone else's CAS cards lol. For me these take just as long as my foofy cards lol.
However this one I have to say all fell into place & it started off with a Dutch Doobadoo Template & a Little Darlings Embossing Folder....
So I made a CAS card & a Matching Envelope. Links to products used will be at the bottom.
I've used a Scrapiniec Chipboard frame for around my image. I painted it first with white gesso then added Shabby Blue Fran-tage to it.

The embossing folder used is Little Darlings Gilded Embossing Folder & in this set you get 2 embossing folders......... 1 embosses all over, like what I've done for the back of the card & the other folder embosses & leaves a blank oval space in the centre, which is what I've used for the front of the card & for the envelope......this is ideal for writing on.....or as I've done on the card placing my image on.

Inisde the card I've used a fabulous sentiment set from Little Darlings called 'Best Friends', this is a fabulous set, you get 12 stamps including these little scroll pattern stamps which I think are perfect for adding that finishing touch.
For the blue colour I just used the same distress ink marker that I used on the image which was Evergreen Bough & then coloured the stamp.......ideal if you dont have that colour ink pad.

The image is a rubber stamp again by Little Darlings Saturated Canary 'Sweatshirt Saturday' I lurve this stamp its one of my favourites. She has been stamped onto Fabriano Artistico paper which Tracy now stocks........this paper is AWESOME for your watercolours.
I've used Distress markers, ink pads & refills.

For the envelope I used the Dutch Doobadoo Envelope Art A4 Scallop 2. I also added 2 layers of card, 1 in a co-ordinating colour to the image & the other for embossing. I've used the same Little Darlings sentiment set. I've also added the Swirl Leaf die & a few flowers, the smaller ones are OWC flowers which Tracy now stocks over at Noor Design UK & more is due in soon.

Thats it from me, thank you for stopping by.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
