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?

My Favorite Things - Notelet Set

Hello Dies to Die For fans! Today I'd like to share with you a few little, very simple, notelets that I made using the Die-namics Polka Dot Greetings Die and Stamp Set from My Favorite Things. As you can see, I went for very bright and colourful with a palette of pink, turquoise and lime green.

I used Cosmo Cricket 'Delovely' paper which was purchased from Dies to Die For. Can't seem to find it in the store now though, but there are plenty of other lovely Cosmo Cricket papers to choose from - just click on the links below.
 

The colour of this one went a little funky... it is actually the same turquoise as the one above. No idea what happened with the photo, took it a couple of times in different lights, but it just wouldn't take properly. I'd love to be able to fiddle with the colours in my photoeditor, but I have no idea how!

These notelets were super quick to make, but really handy. You always need thank you notelets, right?!

Have a great weekend and make sure you watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony tonight! I was lucky enough to go the the rehersal on Wednesday night and it is amazing!

So glad to have you as my friend

Surprise! I'm back on the DTDF DT! After a bit of a break from crafting, I'm very excited to be back in the thick of it...especially as Tracy sent me the most AMAZING DT parcel the other day crammed full of the most loveliest stash ever! Want to see something I made with it?

I made this card for one of my best friends, whose birthday it was yesterday. This gorgeous Mo Manning  image is coloured with Copics and is raised right off the card with heaps of silicone glue! I also had a bit of a Die-Namics frenzy, using my fave butterfly dies as well as the polka dot greeting set. I say 'set' as you get a fantastic MFT stamp set & a Die-Namic label to cut it all out! Make sure you check out all of the deets in the linkies below :o)

Next stop from here also has to be the Dies to Die For Facebook page as today is Freebie Friday! There is a MFT Chevron Stripes Die-Namic up for grabs!

Thanks for stopping by today, hope my card got your creative DTDF juices flowing :o)
