J is for.....................

Jack-in-the-Box,......... obviously! I couldn't think of anything else to do for J so I drew this Jack-in-the-box. He is coloured in with various water soluble pencils/crayons. I drew a border with a gold Krylon and decorated the edge of the card with a punch and adhered a bit of gold embossed card on the inside of the card.

Winter Moo

The challenge on Make a moo or two this week is Winter frost.........here is my interpretation, I have used one of my own stamp designs, embossed with white powder and then details added by hand. The edges have been finished with a silver Krylon pen.

Another horse

I am so enjoying playing with my new border punches and border peel offs, and this is another card using them along with one of my horse stamps again. The Krylon pen has again been used to finish off the edges.

CSF Christmas project 2008

These are the triangles that I have made for the CSF Christmas project. We are in teams of 4 and have each made 2 letters for the word Christmas, which we then swap. We have also all made our own S so that when we each receive all the letters we are able to make a banner decoration. I have used all my own stamps and embossed them in gold. The decoration on the letters is hand drawn, and the edges of the letters are finished with gold Krylon.........the edges of the triangles are finished with gold acrylic dabber.

And another "foiled" card

This time I have used the gold magic card, with my Pegasus stamp. The panel is mounted on a piece of Kanban distressed scroll card, edged with gold Krylon pen. The edge of the square card has also been done with the gold Krylon.

Feather thankyou card

Just made another card, this time using some fabulous magic foil card that got at the NEC this weekend, which when stamped with versamark and clear detail embossing powder looks like it is foiled. I used my own design peacock feather stamp. The greeting is written by hand with a silver Krylon pen, shadowed with a black pen, and the card is edged with silver krylon also.

Christmas card

Having had a bit of a mad session making heaps of ATCs, I decided to put some to use making Christmas cards.........here is one. I have used my Madonna stamp, which has been embossed in gold and mounted on some fabulous Dovecraft Christmas paper, and edged with Krylon pen. The background is a piece of black card, embossed with my cuttlebug, and then embossed with gold detail embossing powder, (a brilliant idea by Kay :) ). The card was edged with starlite black brilliance ink pad, and finished off with peel offs.

Christmas Moos

I've joined this months Moo swap on CSF and these are my Christmassy moos. They have all been made using my own design stamps, on watermark silk white card, and embossed with gold powder. The edges were finished with a Krylon pen.

Last one.................

I promise.....no more peacocks, only I wanted to blog this one, as it has a different layout. I cut a section from the edge of the card, before attaching the peacock panel. I used the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday folder to emboss a matching piece of card, which I attache inside the back of the card. Then I cut a strip from the section that I had removed, and attached this to the inside back of the card, with a peel off Happy birthday on it. The edges were finished off with gold peel offs.

And.....................

.....another peacock card. I have used the cuttlebug on a piece of gold mirri card for this one, and......my stamp again! The edges have again been finished with krylon pen and gold peel offs.

3rd Peacock card

This gold card was again made using my stamp, embossed in black, and mounted on black velvet card. The card was finished off with gold peel offs.

2nd Peacock card

And yet another............................ :)

1st peacock card

Another of my own stamps here, and the card made in the same way as previously.

And again.................

My peacock head stamp, and that gorgeous red silk card.

Another peacock head...............

Same stamp, different application :)

Tall slim peacock card

Have made another card this evening using another of my stamps. It is made in the same way as the others. I had to mount the cut out head onto gold mirri card, in order for it not to blend into the background too much.

And another.........

..........card, made using my Cuttlebug.........(yes Fifi, I do love it :) ) This card is made in the same way as the last one

Birthday feather

Another birthday card, using my new cuttlebug birthday embossing folder, and my feather again. Everything edged with Krylon, and gold peel offs to finish it off.

Alternative christmas card

A friend asked me to make her Christmas card using my peacock feather stamp.........not a very Christmassy image! So I employed my Christmas embossing folder to emboss a panel of red satin card. I stamped my feather on pearl card, and embossed it with gold powder. I coloured the feather with a gold galaxy marker, watered down with a wet paintbrush. I tore the feather out, and edged it and the embossed panel with a gold Krylon pen. I attached the panel to a cream pearl card, and added peel offs around the edge. I atttached the feather with 3d pads and finished off with a gold Merry Christmas peel off.

Cuttlebug skinny and moos

Still playing with my cuttlebug, this time I have made a skinny and two matching moos, using my own design stamps. Again they were edged with Krylon pens.
