Just sooo in love with all the new digis from Ethereal Forest Designs and extremely lucky to be working with them and also the hugely talented Design Team.

Ingredients of Mallard….

Pink Petticoat have a freebie download at the moment and he was printed directly onto the paper and cut out, used a different paper for his beak. Repeated the process but only cut out the top half and hid him behind a fringe. (Sneaky Peak or what).

Made the rosette with ribbon and added a make yourself Papermania brad, buttons from stash.

Stitched background paper and used a wavy punch… a little fringing effect to hide MALLARD…. papers are from Basic Grey… Cupcake.

Don’t you just love how MALLARD’S eye has the flower above it.

Off to the UK today so won’t be posting for the next couple of days… withdrawal symptons have started already.

I am back for two birthdays this time my granddaughter Amber who will be 12 and Andrews….. not saying how old he is…..

Paint The Town Red

February 14th, 2010 by Shirl - Posted in Pink Petticoat, Whiff of Joy

010082

My card today is for meeeee… I have been asked by Laura from Crafty Angels to be on her Design Team… how excited am I…. so decided to make myself a card to celebrate… better than painting the town red. Nothing fussy, didn’t even colour the image in.

Used my new and absolutely adorable stamp from Whiff of Joy, have bought the one where she is holding all the shopping bags as well.

Entering into a few challenges ….

Lots To Do Challenge – Use a Machine

Only posted yesterday so it just fitted into last weeks challenge by a whisker and woo hoo it fits this weeks challenge…. Keep it Simple.

Stamped her with black ink and thought she looked totally divine without colouring in so I only paper pieced her dress and shoes. Cut out with a nestie label and inked the edges. Did a running stitch around the edges and added beads, also added gems to her wrists, dazzle or what..

Made a pocket with the lace by stitching (trusty machine again) around three sides so the tag can be tucked into it. The corners are made with some very pretty pattern paper from Pink Petticoat, cut out with the small Fleur De Lis nestie and cut in half. Stamped and embossed the sentiment celebrate. Made a bow and added to the flower with a button.

By the way did I tell you I am excited.

Isn’t she just gorgeous…. wow I just love my new digi image from Fred She Said…. Smelling the Cherry Blossoms, love these easel cards also.

Did my usual watercolouring and made my own flowers.

Wanted her hair to have a real sheen to it so added black Sakura glaze and also put red sakura glaze to the edges of her kimono and dotted the trees also. Stamped some trailing vine and grass onto the image. Papers are from Pink Petticoat, these digi papers just lend themselves to lots of different projects because you have so many colour choices.

Just couldn’t resist it and used stitching again.

The little pearl flowers are more or less the colour of the blog header for Fred She Said….

Made an aperture with a nestie and inked the edges with peeled paint.

Stamped the inside of the card with the tree so it would show through the aperture and punched lots of little leaves from a green – Pink Petticoat paper … added loads of hearts as well. Fussy and Fancy wanted hearts…. I think they should be pleased with all of these. The ribbon even has little hearts on it.

Owls Well

January 16th, 2010 by Shirl - Posted in Pink Petticoat, Stamping

010049

Woo-hoo internet connection is back and can post cards again.

The little owl was a freebie from my stamping magazine a while ago and the larger is from a Dawn Bibby set. I stamped and embossed both images onto purple pearl paper and then cut out. Picked co-ordinating papers (which are a digi download from Pink Petticoat) and put through a MS punch. Made a flower with some ribbon and added a paper flower plus brad in the centre. Punched out some leaves and made a bow with another matching ribbon.

Another card bites the dust as my granddaughter has asked me to bring cards home with me on Wednesday because lots of her friends have birthdays in March… including hers.

Tilda

January 11th, 2010 by Shirl - Posted in Easel Cards, Magnolia, Pink Petticoat

010045

Entering this easel card for Die Cuts r us Challenge which is to make a project inspired by the colours in the DCRU image. Have to say I just love these colours and making this card was such a pleasure.

Papers used are all from Pink Petticoat a lovely digi download shop which I found a long time ago and can’t get enough of them, I can always find a colour match for my projects.

Also for the Just Magnolia Special Monthly Challenge paper pleating, which I love and there is a fabulous tutorial by Mina.

Tilda was coloured with Copics and Pro Markers then sat her on two nesties. I stitched the paper pleating with a scalloped stitch to hold it all together. Have to say my dressmaking comes in handy at times like this but it is much easier with material than paper. Lots of matting and layering with pleating, scallops and ribbon. MS punch was used for the pleating edges and the waste pleats were added to the bottom of the card.

Stamping up punches and sentiment, along with an art impressions stamp at the top of the card, flowers, brads, gems and dew drops were all added to make Tilda look oh so pretty.

I opened the card out full length and took a picture to show you how pretty the colours are.020008010046

New Love

January 2nd, 2010 by Shirl - Posted in Daisy May, Pink Petticoat

Can you Adam and Eve it I have just broken my New Years Resolution ….. Decided not to make the usual this year (diet, spend less money etc) – I’m sure you all get the picture …. my resolution was …. to start using less of the digital download papers and use more from my stash. I have DT papers all over the house (especially K & Co and Basic Grey just love them) but I bring them out, stroke, look and then put away again (sure I’m not the only one).

My first card for 2010 is for all these challenges:

Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge New

Lily-Boo Too Challenge Blog Valentine

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #64 New Beginnings

Rainbow Lady’s Challenge # 84 New

By the Cute and Girly – New

Crafty Ann’s Challenge #5 – New

Cute Daisy May Challenge – Love

The image is from Cute Daisy May Digi Stamps download, (by the way if you hop over now there is a New Year freebie up for grabs and she is gorgeous – please please please don’t forget to come back).

So far, this part OK, resolution still intact. The next part is where it gets broken….. wanted to use the colours of the Fussy and Fancy Blog….. can you believe it, after hunting ages through my stash could not find the bubble pinky papers I wanted. Hence went back to good old favourite Pink Petticoat. Quickest time I can remember for me to break my resolution….. ah well, get to keep my stash.

Printed image and then cut out with a cookie cutter, used my water colours pencils to colour. Got to use two of my new MS punches. Punched out two hearts and added a nestie label which I put through the printer to add the sentiment. Flowers, bauble and cord all from stash.

Hi everyone a very quick post today because I was out all day yesterday at the hospital…… thought the pins were being removed from my finger but they will be in for another three months…. yuk.

This was the class card for Monday night. I used the same papers as Bath Time (well they were both from Pink Petticoat – Lolas Boudoir) and because they were already on my desk. Stitched as usual onto the card.

We stamped the image onto water colour card, cut out with a nestie then coloured in with Copics – very lightly because I think darker colours would have spoilt the effect – distressed the edges with Rangers Dusty Concord.

Cut out a pink and purple nestie and then cut both of these in half… one length ways and one vertical. Looped the ribbon and stuck to the back. Made two flowers with the same ribbon and added pink roses to the centres.

Punched out the scalloped tag and stamped in the middle. Little pearls dotted around finished the card beautifully. Enjoy.

I know my sister-in-law Irene will love both these cards because purple is her favourite colour.

Bath Time

December 6th, 2009 by Shirl - Posted in Digi Images, Pink Petticoat

010030

Cute Daisy May Digi Stamps what can you say about these except wow, wow, and more wow. I have purchased a few of the images today and can’t wait to use them all. Going to be busy over Christmas but as the name says they are just the cutest.

Printed the image onto a nestie and distressed the edges with Rangers ink -Dusty Concord. The image is so crisp and clear I didn’t think she needed any colouring so I have left her in the nude so to speak…

Stitched the papers (which are also a download from Pink Petticoat another of my fave digi sites) onto the card. Cut the roses off the edge of the paper and decoupaged with five pink roses from my stash.

Stamped onto the nestie label, distressed the edges with the above colour and then threaded a pink ribbon through

Three contrasting brads were added to the centre of the paper flowers for the finishing touch.

Now to find a challenge to enter her into or if you have any ideas let me know.

Wasn’t going to tell you but I will now, trumpets and fanfare…. it’s my birthday today (no singing please)…. and guess what, have just checked out the Allsorts Challenge and I made the top 5, now is that a birthday present or what.

Anyway I have found my first challenge to enter…….. you’ve guessed it Allsorts have another challenge and it just happens to be the colour of advent – Purple – and as my grandchildren would say “way to go grandma” (how old do they think I am)… Allsorts Challenge # 30 – Purple

A Time to Ponder

November 7th, 2009 by Shirl - Posted in Pink Petticoat, Sugar Nellie

010006

My advice of the day – never make a card when you have a head cold. Started this card on Tuesday…. what’s today…. yeh that long, wish I had listened to my own advice.

She still looks adorable despite all the head pain when making her. Love the stitching around the edge of the blue and purple paper (Pink Petticoat), not sure how well you can see the garland stitch. Also added the same stitch around the setiment.

Did the paper piecing again and also the finishing touches with copic markers. Slight problem with the ink and the markers – my own fault can’t even blame the usual suspects (hubby and Penny) – used the StazOn ink pad instead of my Versafine, won’t do it again. The Copics and the ink bled into each other. Managed to get around most of the problem (wasn’t going to waste all that work).

Nestie cut out with purple core card and distressed, flower coloured in with Copic V06, dotted lots of petal pink Liquid Pearl and last but not least candy tots.

Feeling better today and can’t wait to get started.
