Life is Good in the Garden.

Hello there, Jennifer back again,

Hope your weekend has been good, we have had snow most of the day along with a bitterly cold East wind but I understand the weather is about to change this coming week, roll on the Sparing lol!

My card this evening was made for Imagination Craft's One Day Special shows on the Hochanda T.V. Channel which were shown last week, not sure if this one got an airing, so here it is.   I have used Imagination's  ' Life is Good....' stencil along with some Starlight paints and Sparkle Medium.

     
Matt a piece of dark blue paper onto the white 7"x7" base card, leaving a small border of the white showing.

Take a smaller piece of lavender card and lay the stencil onto it.   Mask off everything except the words and the frame with masking tape.   Spread the Diamond quartz Sparkle medium over the sentiment and frame, using the metal spatula.   Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.   Matt this onto the base card.

             

Just look at these gorgeous Starlight colours !!  aren't they just fabulous, so lush.

  

Using these wonderful colours, colour a piece of white card, blending the colours into each other, no need to be too precise as long as the card is all covered.

 From this card, die-cut some flowers using the Sizzix flower dies.   Colour a piece of white card with  the Misty green Starlight, then die-cut some leaves, again using the Sizzix flower die set.     Die-cut one leaf stem from the green card, using the Spellbinder's die, then glue these to the base card, using Magi-bond glue.

    

    

   
Die-cut two butterflies using the Spellbinder's die, from  the left over painted card.   Glue these to the top left and centre right of the base card.

   
Glue three blue gems to the left of the sentiment and three to the bottom right.

 That is this card finished, hope you like it.   Many thanks for taking the time to look at my blog, see you all again soon.   In the meantime, have a good week and I hope the sun shines on you.

                                                               
                                                                  Love and rainbows,

                                                                    Hugs   Jennifer xx.

Day Dreaming Fairy.

Hi there  Followers, Friends and Visitors,

Today began quite bright, sunny and warm but by lunchtime that had changed to dull, damp deary lol! but quite warm!   at least we do not have 8 inches of snow as they have in some parts of America !  such low temperatures, makes me shiver just thinking about it lol!   Hope my American friends are keeping safe and warm indoors.

Brilliant shows on Hochanda T.V. of Imagination Craft's fabulous products, well done again Lisa and Kerri-Ann, you are amazing.    One more show to go this evening at 7pm.

My card tonight has not yet been shown on the shows so I thought I would share it with you now.   I have used  five of the new Starlight paint colours on this card, along with the gorgeous Topaz from another show.

  
This card is made using a 7" square white base card.   Matt a square of black shiny card onto the base card, leaving a half inch border of the white showing.

Take a slightly smaller square of white card and using the daisies  A5 embossing folder, emboss the daisies onto it.   As this folder is an A5 size and the card much bigger, you will need to put the card into the folder twice to cover the whole square, just remember to match up the design when putting it into the folder for the second time.

     
Colour the card with the Starlight paints and then matt onto the black shiny card.

   
Lay the 'Mushroom Fairy' stencil onto a piece of white card, securing with masking tape, so the stencil does not move.   Dab the Starlight colours through the design, using a stencil brushes.   (as you dab the paint, the beautiful mica comes to the surface, giving a lovely sheen.)      Remove the stencil and tape.   You will need to wash your stencil and brushes quite soon as the paint will dry on them and is difficult to remove, especially the brushes!   or you could just steep them in water, until you have more time.

   
Die-cut the fairy design, using the Spellbinder's scalloped oval die.   Glue this to the embossed card, I used Magi-Bond glue to do this, as I find it sticks really well to the painted surface.

      
                                                         Glue a bow in the top left corner.

     
Colour some white card with the Starlights and  dry emboss using the folder, then die-cut a flower from this card  and glue to the right of the oval.   Die-cut 2 leaves from card coloured with the Misty Green Starlight paint and glue to the flower.

   
Well that's all for now my friends, I will be back very soon with more creations, so catch you all then.   Please don't forget to tune in to Hochanda this evening at 7pm.  to see lots more demonstrations from Lisa and Kerri-Ann.

                                                                 Love and rainbows,

                                                                    Hugs   Jennifer xx.
