INSPIRATION MONDAY ~WINTER~



Our theme this week over at La La Land Crafts is Winter. It's Spring here in Australia, but the weather is still very wintery where I live, so it is a fitting theme for me.

Here is my card.....




STAMP
Hot cocoa Marci


DIES

Heart snowflake dies, Set of 2



FRAMES AND SHAPES

I used perfect pearls to colour the snowflakes on the die cut frame, and B99 copic marker to color the outer edge of the frame.

The snowflakes within the frame are cut out of ivory felt, and the cardstock background within the frame has been sprayed with glimmer mist to give it a pearly blue sheen.

"TEE IT UP" ~DS120~

It's time for a new Deconstructed sketch. Wow, we are already up to sketch 120! 

I decided this week to use one of the many, many digital images that i have printed but never coloured.





This sweet golfer is from Saturated Canary. I colored her with copics, and used one of my favorite MME paper pads.

Here is Jen's awesome sketch....




I tried really, really hard to angle the image and the patterned paper strips, like in the sketch, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, no matter how hard I tried. Sorry Jen.

You can check out all of the DT girl's blogs below.....






We would love you to join in the fun and link up your creation on The Deconstructed Sketch blog HERE

I hope you have a great week.

DS #119 STEAMPUNK MARCI

It's time for a new Deconstructed sketch already. Wow, what a busy week. With the girlies on 3 weeks holidays time just seems to fly.

Here is my card.....



I've tried a few different things this week. It's totally different to my usual style, but I'm kind of happy with how it turned out nonetheless.

I've used glimmer mist, frantage embossing powders, and distressing with inks and a blade.

I hope you like it. I've used Top hat Steampunk Marci from Lalaland Crafts.


And here is Jen's awesome sketch....

INSPIRATION MONDAY ~BRIGHT BIRTHDAY~


Our theme for inspiration Monday this week is BRIGHT BIRTHDAY. I seem to use bright colors most of the time in my coloring and on my cards, so this one was right up my alley.

Instead of a card this week I have made a cute little gift box for a Birthday Princess.

Lalaland's ready to assemble trinket box is so easy to put together, it was perfect for the job.
  





And a side on view........

If you are still reading, thankyou for sticking with me for this long post.

Lastly, my third daughter had her 14th Birthday party last weekend and we made a makeup themed cake for her. And it just happens to fit the theme of BRIGHT BIRTHDAY so I thought i would share.

All of the makeup is made of fondant icing and is edible.
The makeup purse is made from LCM bars (rice krispy treats) and covered in fondant.
The actual cake is chocolate mud!
