Crazy Crafters Team Highlights

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd join in with this weeks team highlights. Since the new stampin' blends arrived I've been madly colouring! I really love the rich colours and the dark and light shade for beautiful blending. These markers blend beautifully because they are alcohol markers!

I store my markers in 2 dvd cases that lay flat on my shelf so the ink remains even and doesn't run.

So here are the 2 projects I've been working on. I used the rose wonder stamp set as it's a very large image and perfect for colouring. I also used memento black in for the outline as this ink does not run when working with the stampin blends. I used old olive for the leaves in both cards and some of the new foil snowflakes as the background in card 1. For card 2 i used the burlap ribbon.

For the rose in card 1 i used rich razzleberry and for card 2 i used calypso coral.

These markers are amazing to blend with. They will be available from November.

The new stamp set 'color me happy' is also great to stamp and colour with the new markers.  Here are a few samples i made with this set.

And here are some more examples of blending using some older sets.

Thanks for visiting today. I hope I've inspired you to get colouring with the new stampin' blends and don't forget to vote.

Crazy Crafters October Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to my blog.

Now it's been almost a year since joining in with a Crazy Crafter's blog hop and I do feel guilty but life has been hectic. I went back to work full time at the start of the year and there is never enough time in the day to do much of anything. But alas, it is September school holidays and so I thought I should try and get back into it. I trawled through Pinterest and found a card i would CASE.  This card was created by Katy Harrison.

This card is just so beautiful and eclectic - I love it and really enjoyed Cas(e)ing it too.

So below is my take on the card -

and so I couldn't stop there, and made another version of this card.

Apologies about the quality of the photos - I took these pics at night and they are not the best quality. Hopefully you get the idea and can see how I have created an innovation of Katy's original card.

Thanks so much for taking a look - don't forget to keep hopping through to see all the amazing creations from the other Crazy Crafter's.
