This week at Sentimental Sunday's the theme is Fancy Folds... now who doesn't like a fancy folded card??  Anyway I decided to make a christmas tri fold card Kylie style, but instead of using a Magnolia stamp I have used a super cute Big Al Owl from Kasazza - which is a party plan business in Australia.  So here it is, I hope you love it and will come along and play this week, we are really looking forward to seeing your fancy folded cards:-)

I've used another cute Princess stamp from Whiff of Joy and my brand new paper pack by Kaiser Craft: Bonjour... this paper is so lush, you guys will love it when you see it in real life, if you haven't already!!

Sentimental Sunday's

Hi Everyone,

This week at Sentimental Sunday's we would like you to: Step out of your Comfort Zone..... so for me this week I've had another go (battle) with Prisma Colour Pencils and the Gamsol Technique, to make my little card.  It actually worked out a bit better for me this time around, I got some canson paper at an art shop the other day, and it has a bit more grit to it, if you get what I mean, anyway it allowed me to lay down more colour, but I think in the end may have been a little tooo much!!!  But I guess the out come isn't toooo bad.

I've used a very cute Lili of the Valley Stamp - and again another for my Special Day Sentiment.  Sorry my pic looks a little warped... I was trying to fix the distortion on Photo shop (another new thing - fixing distortions) but it some how ended up like this.... I think actually, it looks rather cool!!!! LOL

I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with this week:-)

Stamps: Lili of the Valley, Little Girl and Sentiment
Paper: My Minds Eye - Lime Twist
Embellishments: Pom Pom Trim, Pink Ribbon, Bling and Stickles
Colour: Prisma Colour Pencils & Odourless Mineral Solvent

Hi Everyone...

This week at Sentimental Sunday's the theme is: Autumn... but where I am here in the land of Aus - it's just hit spring!! hahaha and so far it has been glorius with the sun and flowers... soon it will start to get a lot warmer, so I'm looking forward to that.

Anyway for my card this week, I've used Winter Marci from La La Land Crafts.  I'm thinking that I will change her name, just for this week, to Autumn Marci... what do you think?? hahaha  Anyway here she is, I hope you love her as much as me:-)

I've been looking at my Magnolia Ink Magazine, not that I can really put it down!!!! Anyway Zoe has done a great tutorial on Light Source, and that's what I have tried to do here, but I still think I'm missing the mark, it's a little beyond me I think!!!! Also in Zoe's tut, I loved the E Copic colours she used to colour her image, so I copied... but I did add some R20 to Marci's cheeky cheeks!!!

I just love this cute little Hanglar and Stranglar mini stamp, I got it from a kit that was sold on Ebay ages ago.... Apparently there is an online shop that sells worldwide now, so that makes life a little easier than trying to win them on Ebay!!!

Time to get a bit Sentimental

Hello Everyone!!

It's time for a new challenge at Sentimental Sunday's, and this week we have a pretty cool theme for you to get your thinking caps on... it's:

INKY FINGERS - Unconventional Stamping Materials or Techniques

Mmmm so it did take me a little while to come up with something... but I decided to a little combination of unconventional stamping materials and a little bit of technique..  I've done the Silk paper technique... which you stamp on Tissue Paper.... hahahaha I think I nailed this one on the head!!

Now to make things a little different - It's in a white photo frame instead of on a card!! I think this looks really cool - well actually I think it's rather elegant and fresh looking. And so easy!! So here it is, I hope you like it as much as me!!! 

I've used the Classified Ads Background stamp (Designed by Ann at Raindrop Echo Designs which are available at Whimsy Stamps HERE) and I have stamped it onto a white single piece of tissue paper.  Once I stamped it - I then screwed it up, straighten it back out and then glued it onto a piece of card, don't worry if the tissue rips a bit, once you glue it you can't tell. Then I glued on the wooden bird cage, and the bird... I also used a sentiment stamp (of course) from the Time Flies Sentiment Set (also designed by Ann and available HERE)

I really love the look that this techniques gives, I just hope that you can see it within my picture... you can click on the picture to make it bigger too if you want!!

So thanks for looking, I hope you have visited the Sentimental Sunday's Blog and saw the gorgeous creations that the rest of the Design Team have made for you... I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys make!!
