A passion for fashion!

This is the card I made for my Creating Rainbows swap partner this month, I know that she has received it so I am safe to share!
One of the job's I wanted to do "when I grew up" was to be a designer. I loved making my own clothes or adapting Mum's old stuff in some way, so when I saw the creative expressions vintage sewing plate, well say no more!
The glamour girl is one clarity's and coloured in with pro markers. The button border and sentiment are embossed in black, and the mannequins are stamped in memento tuxedo black ink. I embossed the safety pins in silver, and then cut around the glamour girl with ye old faithful pinking shears!

Mermaid

I love the stamps from lavinia, and as they are only a couple of miles away, it seems fitting that I use them!!
I've had the mermaid stamp for several years now and still love using it, she can look so very different with a change of colour. I stamped her out in memento ink and coloured her in with pro markers. then very carefully inked around the edge of the card with the big and juicy waterfall ink pad. Added the seahorses, fish and urchins also in various shades also from the waterfall pad.
Covered the finished artwork in aslan film, then coated in art institute crystal glitter. Finished off by mounting on to some green and blue card before adding an extra seahorse for some balance.

Crafty Ann's Challenge anything goes

Though I would drop in and say "Hi" Ann!
Stamped around the edge of the card with a hot off the press stitches. Then used Imagination Crafts flowers stamped on to Brenda Pinnock papers, cut them out, and added them to the card front, and popped a gem in their centers. Cut out greeting with cuttlebug hippie chick alphabet dies, originally in pink, but after glueing them down, decided to use pro markers to make them black - very steady hand needed for that one!

TIO by the riverbank

Stamped out the bridge from Lavinia in tuxedo black memento, then added some colour with pro markers. Added foliage and tree's from Clarity in peeled paint, then blended the ink around the edge of the tag.
The sentiment came from a lucky bag of stamps a couple of weeks ago, so I am not sure what the make is, but the little humming bird is one of Anita's morsal stamps and coloured in again using pro markers.

Bah Humbug Challenge Christmas Food

This one stumped me for a while, then I suddenly remembered the little mice had mince pies!
The decoupage is from Cute Companions Christmas cd, used the top of the stocking layer and also the plate with pies and carrot layer. Used Anita's 3d gloss to make the tiles shiny and added crystal art glitter to the tops of the pies for icing sugar.
Stamped the mouse out in tuxedo black memento ink, cut out and coloured in using pro markers.

Bah Humbug Challenge Snowflakes

Haven't made a shaker card in a long time. I've had this dog punch for year's now and it is time it came back out on to the desk! I'd forgotten how cute it was! Punched out two dogs in white glitter card, so that they faced each other. Lined the inside of my aperture card with some paper with stars on, then added some holographic snowflakes. Glued the dogs in to position, and added acetate along with double sided foam tape around the edge. Finished off with a big spoonful of snow aka crystal glitter! Can't decide on a message to go on the front so will leave that till later.

Tio Blogerversary!!

These are the new stamps I bought from Katy's corner, had to have them so I could have my own initials to frank other images with, along with the M/cr frank and the ticket for the dog track at Blackpool! Was that set made for me??? Don't know who the boy's at the bottom are? Hopefully they had a good day out at the dogs! Used my new shabby shutters ink pad (from my winnings last month) and also peeled paint, along with black versafine ink pad. Covered the whole tag in Rock candy crackle paint, might do thicker layer next time. Left to dry in the glorious sunshine of North Wales!!!! Love Elizabeth xxx
