Men Cards

The men Cards made over last day one is from my DS for his grandad that is the decoupage with the grandad sat in the chair. My birthday Card for my father is the shirt one,I was so un sure about the colour of this I used chatterbox papers and the lid was some plastic I had saved knowing one day it would come in from something I bought!! The ace of hearts card is ,the father`s day card ,this was some HOTP papers I had begging to be used up and the Cards I printed on some cardstock leather finish using the Prima Rue88 digital paper and I inked the edges and layered up on double sided tabs to give it a bit of depth....... So some card idea to share...........
Another miserable Day plenty of rain so humid,But I have plenty to do in the chore field,but wanting to re arrange some scrap stuff along the way and also wanting to play..........
until next time,enjoy your day...............don`t forget double click to enlarge for a better view of the pictures

Sunday

Well horrible weather today,damp,overcast,but Iam not to bothered it has given
me a chance to get ahead for once in my life to make the cards I need for This
coming month,Father`s birthday card ,then it father`s Day, Nieces and things
like that. Iam doing the men cards first,seeing I did I sketch and it totally
threw me from the ideas for the girlie cards in my head,And I had these mens ideas
running around in my head,I have done two,but on the father`s Day now and wondering
matt and Layer,make it a pop up,picking paper up putting it down,getting another coffee and having a re take and now I have just logged on to answer my mail
Will load some pictures later

Child of the 60!s

This is a layout I did awhile ago ,but still love it so much it is a photo of me in my younger days and wanting to work the era this fancy pants paper worked so well with the prima whisper flowers and matched that groovy dress I had ROFL!! I then wanted to recall a few things from my childhood ,but had to cut it a little short I mean what an era this was,I then put my wording onto acetate and then embossed it in black to create an overlay whilst not detracting from the beautiful paper, I was pleased with the result, TIP #if working with acetate get a dry used tumble dryer sheet and rub all over acetate first this stuff has amazing static properties and I find if you do this first before print then you do not have much embossing powder stick,the little bit which does just remove with a fine brush before turning that heatgun on,it also works great if using glossy cardstock also

Going cheep!!!!

Here is the finished birdhouse I promised,weather has not been nice for taking photos
but I think these might be best shots for today
The Papers [well a good cardstock] I have used is from CRAFT SECRETS PASTEL PAD
I cut all the papers for the octagon butt shingles by hand then stuck and sanded every piece[might do a RAK on how many I used later!!] The white doves are from HL
and the pink butterly also, The lace is from my stash of many. I made a plaque and hung it above with the little wording,I used one of the buttons I had in my stash again it looks like a hanger so was perfect for the job
I had a fantastic time working this,but with papers like this from Crafty Secrets who could not. I also sprayed it all with bubblegum pink Glimmer mist before starting
so the pink you see is not paint its glimmer mist
I hope you enjoy looking at it ,I think I will have to keep this for myself oh the paper so yummy and not often I get to play with pink!!!!!

Iam on playing with something now a card,Just could not get to sleep so I came down grabbed a handful of Bazzill,ruler,sissors and glue and went back to bed and started
what was in my head,got most assembled now to finish it off,need to think though!!
on where Iam going next with it lol!!!

until next time..........

Glimmer Mist

I love this medium Glimmer Mist by tattered angels I have about 10 bottles and need to add to the collection,This is a door plaque I did,close up shot gives you a sneak peek of spraying the wood , I gave it a rough coat of pink acylic and then when it had dryed 2 coats of glimmer mist, one bubblegum pink and one of snowflake it was a great finish and the images and tags are all Crafty secrets
I am also working on a birdhouse and yes you guessed correctly it has been sprayed with glimmer mist and Iam finishing it up now
The possiblities with this mist is endless I even tried it on one of my nails and a clear topcoat niceeeeeee. Stencils you already have anything goes with this stuff,been water based,When I work with it I always keep a few tags or pieces of paper handy and any surplus yes it gets thrown on the paper Iam working on,no point wasting it. IT does go a long way though......... Tattered angels have some yummy stencils out and the chipboard oh just so devine again the chip can be worked with the mist and inked etc,it raised embossed
