New makes!!

Evening everyone.

Ive been playing with all the bits I bought in Birmingham yesterday, here are two makes I did.

This first card I made with the inkylicious splatter circle. I added various colour inks and sprayed water onto it to blend it all together before stamping it onto the paper. I then added the sentiment and butterflies and embossed them in white. I layered the image onto pink paper and added pearls into the various corners. 

This next card I made the heart on parchment using the parchment in the groovi at clarity stamps starter set. I used a heart stamp and embossing folder from a magazine I had as a free gift, I stamped and embossed the heart in white then embossed the blue card with the embossing folder. i added some colour and backed onto flowered paper and added stones and a bow.

Thank you for looking and I hope you will leave me some feedback. 

Take care

NEC birmingham

Hi guys. I've been to the NEC today to the creative craft show. My goodness it was absolutely amazing!!! I have picked up some really amazing things and learnt some new techniques and I cannot wait to give them a go.

Seen Barbara grey on hochanda showing off the new stamps by clarity stamps https://clarity stamp.com which are gorgeous and I had to have them. Also got shown parchment skills by her too which I have to try.
I have also seen a new brand to me called inkylicious www.inkylicious.co.uk Have a look at them too there stamps are amazing and the demonstrator was amazing.
I will update with all my makes as I do them....hopefully starting tomorrow.

Marci hey cupcake!!!

Hi everyone,

Its been a very long while since I posted here. I haven't managed to do any crafting for a long time but now I have started the happy road back to crafting.

Today ive been doing a colouring class by www.kitandclowder.com. This class is linked through you tube if you search for kit and clowder the class is called colouring with copic and alcohol markers.

The video is linked to using this stamp sold on https://lalalandcrafts.com/heart-cupcake-marci-digi-stamp-dgs5205.htm

The video uses copic markers, spectrum noir markers, promarkers and a number of other brands, alyce has broken down the markers for the different brands underneath the link for the you tube video so you can use her colour combination or use your own if you are confident with the markers and blends.

I followed the video and I would love to know what you guys think of my attempt at colouring this image, any feedback I would be very grateful for as I am new to colouring with alcohol markers. 

I am much happier with the hair on my second practice image but I like the different clothing combinations on both outfits.

thanks for reading

come back soon

take care
