Tropical Sunset - My August Inspiration Project for the Imagination Craft's Challenge Blog.

Good Morning Peeps,

How are you all today?   where did July go to lol!!!    this year seems to be going by faster than usual.  This morning I would like to share my project for the Imagination Craft's Challenge Blog.   The theme this month is    'Summer  Holidays.'   Before we know it the children will be back to school for the Autumn term, so we must enjoy this beautiful weather we are having at the moment as the Autumn is not far away.

The card I have for you this morning uses Imagination Craft's    tropical sunset stencil.   Ok here we go, let's get started.   This is a quick and a simple card to make.

   
Make a base card from navy blue card stock.   take some white card slightly smaller than the navy blue and round off the corners with the corner rounder punch.   Matt this onto the navy blue base card.

Take some green card and the Memory Box circles die and put through a die - cutting machine, then glue down the right - hand side of the card.

  
Die - cut and emboss the border die  (Marianne Design)  and thread some yellow ribbon through the slots.   Glue this on top  of the green circles and add a ribbon bow.

   
Cut another piece of white card, again smaller than the previous white card and round off all four corners as before.   Lay the stencil on top and dab some Versamark through the design, using a piece of cut n' dry foam.   Remove the stencil and cover the design with white embossing powder.   Shake off the excess powder and heat emboss with a heat gun.   When dry, colour with the inks from the Kaliedacolour Ink pad -Riviera.   Rub off any excess ink from the white embossing with a tissue (the ink will not dry on the surface of the embossing, this is known as the resist technique).    Fix this to the base card.  Well we are finished.    

      
Would love you to join us in this challenge, you could win a  voucher for £40 to spend on Imagination Craft's  fabulous products.  NB. only projects using Imagination Craft's products are eligible for the top prize of the £40 voucher, although non-Imagination Craft makes can  get top 3 spots and there is a lovely badge for your blog.   You still have time to enter this month's challenge, so why not give it a go!  someone has to win, it could be you.

Please pop over to the Imagination Craft's Challenge Blog   to see more inspiration from the other members of the design team.

Well, that's all from me for now my Lovelies.   Take care of yourselves until my next blog.

Butterflies and Bluebells

Good evening my Lovelies,

Firstly I'd like to welcome my newest Follower to my blog, Carol Bignall, welcome, I hope you enjoy your visits to my blog.

How are you all?  well I hope.   The weather continues to be warm and sunny here.   One five minute  shower of rain in many weeks,   not enough to do any good in the gardens,  so, I'm afraid it is out with the watering can for me again lol!    Did housework this morning and spent the afternoon with my lovely friend and her little daughter and our Grandson, picking gooseberries and strawberries.   Had a break  and we had strawberries with toffee and vanilla ice cream .....yummy lol!!   Well on to tonight's project,   this card is one of my latest cards, hope you  like it.

Make a base card from a piece of A4 purple card folded in half portrait style.   Take a piece of white card slightly smaller than the purple and   cut all four corners, using the Nellie's corner die.
   

    
Lay the Ivy Branch panel stencil onto the right-hand side of the white card and using the shaded lilac distress ink, colour the design using a piece of cut n' dry foam.   Turn the stencil over and up the other way and lay onto the left-hand side of the white card and colour in the same way.   Glue this to the base card.

   
Take the Bluebells patterned panel card and lay the woodland flower stencil onto it and spread the amethyst sparkle medium over the flowers only, using a metal spatula.   Add small patches of the silver sparkle medium to parts of the flowers.   Remove stencil and leave image to dry.

Replace the stencil back onto the card and spread the silver sparkle medium over the leaves and the stems   Colour a piece of white card with the silver sparkle medium and leave it to dry.

 

Matt the patterned panel card onto some silver holographic mirror card and glue down the centre of the base card.   Add a lilac flower to the bottom right of the patterned card.

    
Die-cut two butterflies using the Memory Box die from the silver sparkle-mediumed card and two from the purple card.   Lay the purple butterflies on top of the silver ones and glue to the base card.

  
Well there we have it my friends, card finished.   Hope you like it.    Once again I would just like to say a big thank you to you for taking the time to visit my blog.   If you gain just a little inspiration from my cards, I will be well happy lol!    Take good care of yourselves and above all, be happy my friends.   see you all in a couple of days.

                                                                 Love and rainbows,

                                                                  Big Hugs   Jennifer xx

Good afternoon All,

Wasn't Sue just brilliant on the first couple of shows on Create and Craft this morning, so many demos fitted in and Lisa B was great too.

Thought I'd just pop in a couple more of my cards before the 2pm. show gets underway lol!!

The first card uses their beautiful rose panel stencil.  I have coloured the background using Emerald Satin Silky which is such a beautiful rich colour.  I then drew around the stencil, removed the stencil and zentangled the design, using fine black liner pens and a white pen for added detail and to bring the design to life.

  
The second card is a Christmas card as you will see, done on one of the patterned panel cards and uses  red, green and gold  Sparkle medium.    .

That's all for now my Lovelies, nearly time for the Create and Craft show at 2pm and I don't want to miss a moment of it.   Hope you will tune in too to watch our lovely Sue.   See you all later.

                                                                Love and rainbows,

                                                                Big Hugs  Jennifer xx.

Sneaky Peeks at some of my Creations for Imagination's Create & Craft shows

Good morning Lovelies,

A beautiful one it is too !  can't help thinking all this glorious weather will end up in one almighty thunder storm lol!    This is just a quick post  as I have lots to do this morning but  I'll be back later.

As some of you may know, I have been playing around with some ideas over this last couple of weeks or so, well now it's the day before the Create and Craft show, I can show you.   I was looking at some of the Imagination Craft's  fabulous Christmas stencils I have in my stash and  thought to myself, what else can I do with them, then an idea popped into my head and this is the result.  Hope you like it.  

I used  black fine liner pens 0.1 and 0.3.   I'll be back with another post this afternoon.   Must dash things to do and places to go lol!!      See you all later.

                                                            Love and Rainbows as always,

                                                                     Hugs   Jennifer xx
