Anyone for Cricket?

Paper Nation Decoupage this time with a cricket player.

Papers from my collection, circular mount cut with a Spellbinder.

Another to add to the Father's Day collection for sale at work.

Super Heroes - Spiderman

Whilst sorting through my decoupage sheets recently, I came across this one which I got ages ago, so decided to make it up.

The background papers are from my Basic Grey Eerie collection and feature lots of interlinked spiders which I felt was very appropriate.

The dimension was fabulous on the finished card.

Girls wot lunch.....

Back to scrapbooking today!

This is a page I made recently on our Debden weekend.

It's a 12x12 greyboard which I coated with gesso then added sparkle medium using a brick wall mask.

Splats of distress stains followed.

The photographs were matted onto purple bazzill and added the the page.

I borrowed Lynn's Architectural corners and used the same bazzill for these, having inked all around the page edge.

I used a six petal punch and created the roses shown recently by Hels Sheridan on C&C, again the same bazzill, and dipped them into UTEE using a meltpot, this was the result!

The leaves were cut with a Memory box die and also dipped.

I'm loving the way these came out.

This is how they looked on my work mat whilst under construction.

The page was finished with a random scattering of gems and two pins.

I decided against a title but may add some journalling at a later stage.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Peter Rabbit for Evelyn

Back to the decoupage sheets for this one...

I was asked to create the following for a colleague at work. Her niece was 1 this week and she loves Peter Rabbit. Pastel colours in Shabby Chic style were requested.

I used an 8x8" card and some papers from DCWV to cover.

The image was cut with a Marianne die and added to the centre with the decoupaged layers.

I punched a selection of flowers and added them with glittered or button centres.

I then punched a banner, added the letters and bakers twine

The happy birthday is a sizzix die which I won on e-bay recently.

Covered with glossy accents and sprinkled with glitter.

Seam binding was crinkled along the bottom corner and a punched scallop and circle (SU) added and embellished with gems. A few were randomly scattered too.

Happy Birthday Evelyn.

A Proper Job

Another request for Fathers Day was to create a card featuring Proper Job beer and photography.

I found the images of the beer label and bottles on their website and created the following card.

The base is a 6x6" card covered with papers from my collection - think they are BG Marjolaine and another foiled panel which I had stored.

I cut the film strip with a sizzix die and placed the bottle photos behind.

The label pixellated a little unfortunately but I cut it out and added to the front.

The sentiment is on of Lynn's Lili of the Valley ones which I matted then covered with glossy accents.

Photo's are not the best either, sorry :(

Full steam ahead

A request for cards with steam trains for Fathers Day sent to to my folder of decoupage sheets.

I found one with two images and made the following.

Papers are from my collection.

Thanks for looking :)

Isle of Man TT

The lovely Samantha from work requested a card for a friend of hers who runs a B&B on the Isle of Man and is a big fan of the TT.

The card is an 8x8" covered with another set of papers from my vast collection, I think more DCWV but I'm not 100% sure. I printed some photographs from the internet and created a background panel and used a template to cut the 60 out of glittered card stock and edged it with red stickles.

The letters are from the Sizzix Cherish Alphabet which I won recently in an e-bay auction - lucky me - at a very good price.

The T was reversed to fit better onto the panel and all were covered with Glossy Accents.

A ribbon tie was added along with some Candi to finish.

It couldn't be too deep as she has to take it by plane :)

Have a lovely break Samantha and I hope Heather has a fab birthday.
