Hi There

I can't believe that its November already, that means the year is almost over.

today I would like to share with you a card made for a friends birthday.

I have sponged the background with distress ink in Evergreen Bough and layered over 

that the MFT stitched Frame.

The MFT Delicate pretty poppies stamp was coloured in Copic Markers and cut out

using the matching poppies and Leaves  Die.

The Stamped greeting was from Penny Blacks Sweet wishes stamp set. I have added to the

flowers petals  and leaves some glossy accents to look like dew drops and also glued on some clear decorative plastic pebbles.

hello

Hi, well this month has certainly flown by.

I am sharing with you a card today 

I really wanted to try out the Chameleon pens so i used them on the prima bloom

instachick stamp. I will say I had a lot of fun colouring this image and I found the chameleon pens pretty easy to use. you just need to get used to priming the tip with blending solution to get that gradient effect.

I have used the MFT Sun Ray Die for the background and The Little B

Block out "hello"

Blue skies

hi everyone

Today I would like to share with you a card I made using my amazing new Zig Real brush watercolour pens! say that fast a few times!

I wanted to experiment with these pens to see what they could do, so  chose the Lawn Fawn Blue skies stamp and die set because I could use just about any colour I wanted.

I stamped the images out with Staz-on ink in black and used the watercolour pens to colour them.

I think you'll agree that the end result looks nice and bright. I am thrilled with how bright these
water colour brush pens are.

You can pre-order the stamp and Die set at Bizzy Becs On-line store.

see you soon

Journal cover

Hi there,

I am lucky to be getting my supplies together for an amazing opportunity to do a class with the gorgeous Jane Davenport in Mexico next month. Today I thought I would share with you the cover of one of the journals that I am taking with me.

I am altering an old poetry book and as the book develops I will share pages with you. I have painted the background using acrylic paints and then collaged a printed image of Frida Kahlo on the top of the paint layer.

I have then stencilled designs over the top of the image using extra heavy gesso. I have coloured the detail of the stencils with Ranger Distress Ink pads in Spiced Marmalade and Seedless Preserves.

Stencils used: 

Memory box: Alpha worn out and pattern raymelle
