Colouring Technique...

So you may has seen/heard about the "no lines" colouring technique. I had finally decided to have a try...it looks difficult...but this week I challenged myself to have a go, and today I am sharing my results.

I took one of the new Magnolia stamps...she is called Love Love Love Tilda. I have stamped her three times onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock with three different coloured Memento Inks...left to right...Tuxedo Black, London Fog & Summer Sky.
Each image was coloured with Copics using the same colours so that you get a direct comparison. I am not sure which of them I prefer and that is pretty much down to personal preference...when I asked my daughter she liked the left hand image in the conventional Tuxedo Black...as for me, I am undecided.

So here is the card I made with the image...well one of them...and after all my hard work I had to use the "no lines" version...
The papers are all Cosmo Cricket Summer Love layered onto Bazzill Cardstock in Elephant I have added a doily, some stitched ribbon, a heart paperclip, a small red foam rose and a Craftwork Cards sentiment.

I would love to hear your comments...What do you think? Which version do you prefer?

Tilda with cross necklace.....

Pens- Promarkers.

Morning everyone! I hope you are all looking forward to a super lovely monday. I have a little share with one of the stunning new magnolia stamps this morning. I love her, she is just so adorable.

I stamped her up and then masked her off so I could stamp the background around her. then I popped on some chalk for the clouds and got to work on the base of the card. I really had to make myself cut this paper,it is just absolutely stunning. I added a little crochet trim and a length of the sweet lovely lace die to make it pop.

Once I had popped tilda over that I added a little joycrafts heart and made myself a rose with the smallest size of the layered rose dies cut 5 times on the strip of the paper I had left! waste not want not and all that!!!

Thank you for popping in hugs Lou xx

U Rock!

Morning DTDF Fans, just quick card from me this morning using papers, card and dies...plus some distressing.

I have used the MFT Die-namics Rock & Roll die set with some scraps of Bazzill Kraft (base & stars) & Bling (flames) cardstock. The papers are a mixture of different My Minds Eye On the Bright Side - One (denim piece), Happier (orange piece), Lime Twist (star & teal pieces), and Basic Grey Basics Kraft paper pad. I have embellished with a few metal studs and letters a pack of My Minds Eye letters in the Follow Your Heart Up & Away range.

To make the flames more dimensional I have added some red chalk ink to the edges, and distressed all the papers which hopefully add to the masculine feel of the card.

Be sure to come back tomorrow to see Michelle's creation...

Joy! crafts Swirl number 2.
Die-Namics mini royal roses.
Morning everyone!
I have a bit of a golden oldie for you today but she is just so very sweet I couldn't help myself!! 

I coloured her up with my promarkers and then hit my box of papers. These blingy and gorgeous ones from the 6x6 Blank Canvas stack just did the job perfect and would you believe I coloured her up before I even looked at the papers!!

I cut my cherish border and then embossed it with some clear embossing powder to lift it a little from the other kraft elements on the card.

A few flowers and a beautiful sentiment later and she was all done!!

here's a non blingy shot........
isn't she just so sweet?

Blissful Butterflies

Hello there, Michelle here sharing a card I have made using the new beautiful Blissful Butterflies stamps and Dies from MFT. I have taken a sheet of paper from the MME Lost & Found 2 Blush paper pad, mounted it to white card and used one of the butterfly dies to make an aperture. I have stamped the sentiment in the bottom corner before adhering the panel to a white card base using 3D foam pads. I have then taken the butterfly (the positive die cut) and added this to the centre of the aperture I created. I have finished it off adding Bazzill Jewels to make the body of the butterfly.
