Deep Ocean Welcomes Summer :)

Hi everyone, time for our new challenge at Deep Ocean, this fortnight our theme is 'Welcome Summer'.

This is one of my favourite Tilda's, and to me she is perfect to personify summer, out in the garden picking roses.

The papers are from Maja Designs Vintage Summer Basics. The edges have been distressed with a Tim Holtz tool, and then machine sewn with topstitch thread.

The flowers are from The Ribbon Girl, click on the images at the end to be taken to them in the shop.

I've also dabbed a bit of textured acrylic paint here and there, along with stickles. There is also glamour dust for sparkle and aged rose frantage too.

As always Tilda has been coloured with Distress Markers and reinkers.

For A Girl At Deep Ocean

Hi everyone, tonight is my last night on holiday, we fly home tomorrow, well it will be, but I am scheduling this post so it feels odd writing that, lol. It's time for another challenge at Deep Ocean Challenges, our theme this time is 'For A Girl'.

It has recently been my Goddaughters sisters christening, and this is the card that I made for her. I was trying to decide which image to colour in, then I saw this Vintage image and I thought it was perfect.

I've used Maja Design Vintage summer 6x6 pad, the edges have been distressed and then machine sewn.

My arty shot.

Ribbon And/Or Lace At Deep Ocean

Hi everyone, time for another challenge at Deep Ocean Challenges, this time we want to see your creations with Ribbon and/or Lace, easy peasy!!

I've used Honey from Saturated Canary, I've coloured her with distress markers and added glamour dust for sparkle. I've also used shabby blue frantage around the image.

The papers are from Alma's Sewing Room collection by Pion Design, the edges have been distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and then machine sewn with top stitch thread.

I've tucked a small packet behind the image so that I can put a tag in, and fastened pearls and shabby seam binding to the tag.

My arty shot showing my flowers.

Hope you can play along.

Let's Sparkle At Deep Ocean

Hi everyone, time for another challenge at Deep Ocean, this time we want to see your sparkle.

I'm sorry about the pictures, my lens was mucky and I've only just discovered that and the card has already been sold so I can't retake the photie. I was asked to make a card for a new baby 'Eden Rose', this is the first time I've coloured in All Our Dreams, isn't it precious?

The paper is from the 6 x 6 Vintage Spring Basics collection from Maja Design, I've distressed the edges and then machine sewn them. I've made the little frame with air dry clay, and then used Aged Pink Frantage on there, the letters are from my stash.

The image has been coloured suing distress markers, and I've added glamour dust for sparkle, extra sparkle has been added using shabby pink frantahe. The roses are from WOC, I've also used Kort og Godt rolled roses and chrysanths, with stickles added for sparkle. Behind the image there is a Bloomy Tag, with shabby seam binding and a Diamante Heart Charm, just for even more sparkle.

Hope you're all OK. I've done something to my back, again, and I'm on painkillers and been told to rest and take it easy. Why when I have so much that I need to do am I told to take it easy???

Favourite Colour Combination at Deep Ocean

Hi everyone, I'm here today with my DT card for Deep Ocean, this time we want to see your favourite colour combination. I do go through phases, but my current favourite combo has to be pink and brown.

I've used some of the 12x12 papers from the new Maja Design collection, the edge has been cut with a Tim Holtz on the edge die and then all of the edges have been distressed with Walnut Stain.

I've used Shabby Pink frantage arounf the image and on the clay heart.

I've used some more of the gorgeous Emily lace from The Ribbon Girl.

The arty shot of my flowers and pearl branch.

My shabby bow with frantaged heart.

As always Tilda has been coloured in with my distress markers.

Flower Fantasy At Deep Ocean Challenges

Hi everyone, I'm here with my card for Deep Ocean Challenges, our theme this fortnight is 'Flowers & Fantasy'.

I've coloured Tilda Sitting With Butterfly with Distress Markers. 

I've used papers from the new Maja Design collection and distressed the edges with Walnut Stain. I've just got a few more colours of Frantage, I am loving it, I've used it round the picture and also on the metal corner.

The roses and pearl string are from WOC, I've dabbed picket fence crackle paint on and sprinkled with glamour dust.

I've also added stickles, the links are all at the end.

I'm entering this into 'Bingo' at MDUC, I've used the bottom line, 'Anything Goes' at Marvelous Magnolias and also into 'Buttons, Bows or Beads' at Magnolia-licious.

Inspiration At Deep Ocean Challenges

Hi everyone, I'm here with my DT card for Deep Ocean, for this challenge we have an inspirational photo, here's my card.

Here is the inspirational photo,

I've used Champagne Fountain from Lili Of The Valley, these mice are so cute. I've made a card for a lady who is retiring from work, and I thought this stamp was perfect, the sentiment is also from LOTV. 

I've used Maja Design papers again, you will be seeing more of these, Sandy at Live and Love Crafts has restocks as well as the new Vintage Spring Basics in, they are gorgeous......

I have a sideways opening card again, the card has been made to give to her off all of us, so here is an extra arty shot.

I've used glamour dust on the champagne to mimic the bubbles :)

Hugs,

Cute And Cuddly At Deep Ocean

Hi everyone, time for a new challenge at Deep Ocean Challenges, our theme is 'Cute and Cuddly'.

I've used Daddy's Girl from Saturated Canary, with her Teddy Bear and her cute bunny slippers I think she looks all cute and cuddly.

I've used papers from Maja Design and distressed the edges with Walnut Stain.

I'm literally running out of the door in 10 minutes to go to work so I will add the inlinkz collection soon.

I'm entering this into the 'Good v Evil' challenge at Saturated Canary, she is definitely a cutie.

For A Boy With Deep Ocean

Hi everyone, time for another challenge at Deep Ocean, this fortnight we want to see your boy cards. 

This is my son's 7th birthday card. I must confess boy cards always fill me with dread, they never feel finished to me.

I've coloured Football Crazy with distress inks and used Magnolia papers. I've had the black mesh for ages and I can't remember where I got it from.

Night shift for me tonight, but then no work until 9pm next Monday night.

Hugs,

'B' At Deep Ocean

Hi everyone, time for another challenge at Deep Ocean, this time we have the theme of 'B', so as long as you have things like a Bow, the colour Blue, a Birthday card etc.

I've gone for Blue, Bow and Birdcage. The paper looks a bit purple, well it does on my computer, but IRL it is blue. I've used the special Poppy Tilda, another one that I simply had to have.

As always I've coloured with distress markers and added sparkle with glamour dust. The papers are from Maja Designs Shall We Have Coffee collection and I've distressed the edges with Walnut Stain.

The roses are from WOC, and the sparkle has been added with Star Dust Stickles.

I'm entering this into 'Anything Goes' at Tilda's Town, 'Anything Goes' at Time For Magnolia and 'Decorate Inside Of Your Card' at The Dutch Magnolia Chickies.

Hugs,

Love & Lace at Deep Ocean

Ooo, I'm so excited to let you all know the newest DT I am on, but you've probably guessed from the post title, yep that's right, I'm now part of the amazing Deep Ocean Challenges Design Team, our theme this fortnight is 'Love and Lace'.

I told you the other day that you would be seeing a few 'No Lines' from me, lol. But, for this one I had a bit of a brainwave, when I add the eyes, eyebrows and freckles in I don't always get them just right and I am not overly happy, so just as I was going to sleep, you know just when your brain gives you things to think about, I came up with this plan, and it works a treat. I inked my stamp up with cloudy blue, and then got a cotton bud and inked it up with black stazon ans then inked the eyes, eyebrows and freckles, it works a treat.

I've coloured Lonely Tilda With Her Heart with distress markers and pads, I've tried out a slightly different hair colour and I like what I see. I've added sparkle to the heart with glamour dust, and to the flowers with stickles. The roses and carnation are from WOC, the lilies are from the Ribbon Girl and the chrysanthemums are from Live and Love Crafts.

I've used paper from Maja Design, again, the edges have been distressed and then machine sewn. I've tucked a So Wrapped Heart Tag behind with shabby seam binding and pearl string. There is also some cheese cloth, white corrugated card, gorgeous Rose Venice Lace and White Rose Organza Trim. I've also wrapped some seam binding around a bark heart, these are perfect for love themed cards.

Hugs,
