Still been busy card making just don't seem to ever get chance to blog them. But today the kids were at their dads and I had nothing else pressing to do so visited one of my favourite blogs <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/week-167-one-layer.html" target="_blank">Less is More</a> and decided it was time to join in :)<br />
<br />
I had these Clarity stamps arrive yesterday and have been desperate to have a go with them.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JjCV-EwOtwU/U0mBqlj09rI/AAAAAAAABTs/3ml5CsSCh0U/s1600/Shadow-Stamp-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JjCV-EwOtwU/U0mBqlj09rI/AAAAAAAABTs/3ml5CsSCh0U/s1600/Shadow-Stamp-2.jpg" height="320" width="186" /></a></div>
Not overly sure about this card and it has been a while since I have done a one layer. Used Adirondack Butterscotch to stamp the image and then embossed with Seafoam White.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZxGs__RPCqk/U0mBpC5Ai2I/AAAAAAAABTk/0fSScFRKocc/s1600/Shadow-Stamp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZxGs__RPCqk/U0mBpC5Ai2I/AAAAAAAABTk/0fSScFRKocc/s1600/Shadow-Stamp.jpg" height="320" width="194" /></a></div>
This card was made using Adirondack Juniper to stamp the image and then for the first time I used Cosmic Shimmer flake & glitter glue to stamp the image again and used variegated green gilding flakes. Quite like this technique although it needs a bit of perfecting.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone is having a fab weekend, know I am and just about to open a bottle of wine :)<br />

Well Christmas is nearly here and the end of another year. This is also my last post as part of the Kenny K DT, which I have totally enjoyed although the pressure of work and family life has seriously kept me away from blogging the last few months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This weeks Kenny K challenge is anything goes and I have used one of my favourite images Delores D'ammage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b1iDmNuOuow/UrSf9L-gtHI/AAAAAAAABTM/X2KNYxgjgkE/s1600/Boots,-buttons-&-bling.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b1iDmNuOuow/UrSf9L-gtHI/AAAAAAAABTM/X2KNYxgjgkE/s320/Boots,-buttons-&-bling.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
She is coloured with copics with a bit of glitter. I'm not sure what this style of card is called, but I made it using kraft card. I usually just use a plain simple card base but I think next year might see some making of different shaped cards :)<br />
<br />
Am hoping next year to be able to get back to a bit more blogging. Am still making plenty of cards, just never seem to get the chance to blog them. Am also looking forward to being able to participate in the Kenny K challenges once again :)<br />
<br />
Wishing everyone a fabulous Christmas and New Year xSuzilouhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01746580319550399098noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782026647331909045.post-68559764974207200072013-11-24T08:00:00.000+00:002013-11-24T08:00:05.110+00:00Kenny K - Anything Goes with a New Release<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh my I can't believe it is Sunday again and it's nearly December and it's my Birthday today, 21 again ;) ! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The past couple of weeks have been extremely hectic, have been finishing the conservatory, can't believe how long it takes to put up wallpaper and gloss woodwork!! And to top it all my mother went into hospital last Thursday for her hip replacement, which has been cancelled twice and she wasn't due to go in until 28th November, so threw me and my siblings into slight panic having to change plans and doing visiting duty. Thankfully she was only in for 6 days and is now home and doing really well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On to this weeks Kenny K challenge. I used one of the fab new releases called cupcake celebration and coloured with copics.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Had a lovely trip to the NEC on Thursday and brought myself a few new bits and pieces and have then spent all day Saturday decorating the conservatory.</div>

Am in the middle of decorating this weekend having just had my conservatory finished and am finishing the boys bedroom with new skirting board, painting the room ready for new carpet on Wednesday. My house is just a total mess, oh well not for much longer.<br />
<br />
Half term next week so looking forward to a few days off although they will probably be spent getting the house back in order.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This weeks <a href="http://kennykskraftykrew.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kenny K</a> challenge is a Christmas card using one of the fab new releases.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Loved colouring this image and just layered it up on some very simple papers. Used a Marianne die for the flowers, the leaves are signature dies and this is the first time I have used them. The sentiment is from Clarity and again the first time out.<br />
<br />
Pop over to Kenny's and see what the rest of the team have been up to and why not join in as well :)<br />

Was determined this week though that I was going to join in with this fabulous sketch<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w2K5dM0Z9yk/Ukc6fNIC0EI/AAAAAAAABQg/NXe_cW8gblg/s1600/Lim-Sketch-_10.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w2K5dM0Z9yk/Ukc6fNIC0EI/AAAAAAAABQg/NXe_cW8gblg/s200/Lim-Sketch-_10.png" width="199" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This weeks <a href="http://kennykskraftykrew.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kenny K</a> challenge is to case one of the teams cards. I used Guest Designer Kjersti tag.<br />

I used Graduation Girl for my tag and she is coloured with promarkers & copics. The tag is a die from Go Kreate and used spellbinders to cut out the image and sentiment. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She is coloured with Copics and have used papers from Shabby Chic by Debbi Moore. Used my Cameo to cut the background and the cogs are Robert Addams die. The flowers are made from the centre pieces from the cogs which I was about to throw away!<br />
<br />
Do pop over to the <a href="http://kennykskraftykrew.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kenny K challenge</a> blog and why not have a go yourself. I will post the other cards I made using the new images on Sunday :)<br />

<br />
I have got the week off this week and my youngest son went off to his friends for the day so had an unexpected day to myself so after tidying my craft room I made this card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KDgipaeTdKs/Ue7hoT30eiI/AAAAAAAABM8/H9fswHrkur8/s1600/Less-is-More---Flowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KDgipaeTdKs/Ue7hoT30eiI/AAAAAAAABM8/H9fswHrkur8/s320/Less-is-More---Flowers.jpg" width="230" /></a></div>
The flowers are from Cheery Lyn and the vase and oval Spell Binders. The sentiment is Clarity and so are the leaves behind the flowers, although they aren't that visible.<br />
<br />
Was so nice to sit and make a C & S card, not been able to do this for a while. Hope you are all enjoying the weather and thank you for stopping by :)<br />

I have been struggling with inspiration lately so have spent time perusing pinterest and blog land and came across some inspiration from <a href="http://jfroog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/thank-you-x-4.html" target="_blank">Design by Jenny</a> and <a href="http://karonskraftykorner.blogspot.ca/2013/06/an-itsy-bitsy-teenie-weenie-not-bikini.html" target="_blank">Karon's Krafty Korner</a> <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This weeks <a href="http://kennykskraftykrew.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kenny K</a> challenge is Father's Day and having 3 boys to sort cards out for <a href="http://kennykskraftykrew.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kenny K</a> never disappoints with images to use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I went with Airborne for this card and all my boys love skateboarding so this image was perfect. Just got to make 2 more now!</div>

The image is coloured with copics and the papers are from Papermania. The stamp came with a magazine and the sentiment is computer generated.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This weeks <a href="http://kennykskraftykrew.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kenny K</a> challenge is a colour challenge and these colours made me think of the seaside and ice cream.</div>

Wasn't sure which image to use for this one as I first thought about "<a href="http://www.kennykdownloads.com/" target="_blank">Troublemaker</a>" with her ice cream but went with "<a href="http://www.kennykdownloads.com/" target="_blank">Bathing Beauty</a>" as I haven't used her before. </div>

She is coloured with copics and layered on very simple papers. All the elements I brought years ago to do a scrapbook of our visit to Australia and have never got round to doing!!<br />
<br />

<br />
Did actually start this card yesterday but with the lovely weather I just had to potter in the garden.<br />
<br />
This weeks<a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"> Less is More</a> challenge is cats and/or dogs, well as the owner of a ragdoll I had to have a cat stamp somewhere!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eMoNZ5Zg7-A/UZpzTrjQUBI/AAAAAAAABJI/dXZElR6jHIc/s1600/Less-is-more-cats.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eMoNZ5Zg7-A/UZpzTrjQUBI/AAAAAAAABJI/dXZElR6jHIc/s320/Less-is-more-cats.jpg" width="157" /></a></div>
Found this stamp buried in a draw that I never go in anymore, can't even tell you where I got it from all I can say is it's from Inkadinkado and as far as I can remember I have used it once before.<br />
<br />
I inked it up with Memento tuxedo black and added some perfect pearls and then glitter to some of the dots and used gems on the bigger circles. Wasn't sure about colouring the eyes, thought green might look good but decided to leave it totally black & white. The sentiment is computer generated and printed onto a piece of card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Close up of the image to hopefully show a little better the sparkle. Think this stamp needs a few more outings as I do rather like it and it stamps beautifully.<br />
<br />
Thank you for popping by and do take a look at the rest of the cards on Less is More as there are some stunners over there :)Suzilouhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01746580319550399098noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782026647331909045.post-4542786612585602632013-05-19T20:29:00.001+01:002013-05-19T20:29:14.521+01:00A bit of Card MakingNot getting chance to blog much of late, work is just manic and with the sun out have finally had chance to get in the garden.<br />

Made this card for one of my crafty friends for her birthday. The image is Anastasia from Make it Crafty and she is just a joy to colour with my copics. Treated myself to some new Cheery Lynn dies, been after the daisy strip one for ages and I just love Tiny Things with Wings. The papers are from V & A and My Minds Eye.<br />
<br />
Had a lovely day in the garden today and also finished my first Tilda doll, which I will post another time. Hope you have had a lovely weekend and thank you for stopping by.<br />

Not quiet so keen on this one. Used a Clarity stamp again and wanted to use the bleaching technique again but when I used the bleach it turned blue! Not quiet the colour I was after so went back to the mica powders.<br />
<br />
Anyway thank you for stopping by again :)<br />

Spent 3 hours yesterday completely clearing my craft room and it now feels so much nicer to work in. I didn't have crafters block per say but I didn't want to create anything in the untidy mess it had become. I am now raring to go!!<br />
<br />
So to start I have created a card for the<a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"> Less is More</a> challenge this week.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0aegEs3OLac/UY_Qz1my0tI/AAAAAAAABIY/GTIQqbsT48E/s1600/Less-Is-more---One-layer-coloured-base.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0aegEs3OLac/UY_Qz1my0tI/AAAAAAAABIY/GTIQqbsT48E/s320/Less-Is-more---One-layer-coloured-base.jpg" width="317" /></a></div>
I started with black card and embossed a frame using a spellbinder die. I then stamped a Clarity image with versamark and embossed with black. I then used, a new technique for me, bleach to create the moon and light on the water. There must have been some mica powder still on brush I used and it ended up sparkly although you can't see that in the photo. I added some highlights with a white pen and that's about all for this card.<br />
<br />
Thank you for popping by and hope you have had a great weekend :)<br />
<br />
Edit: Damn just realised I shouldn't have used black!! and with my clear out yesterday I got rid of a lot of my plain coloured card as I wasn't using it. Have to have a rummage and see what else I can find.Suzilouhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01746580319550399098noreply@blogger.com7
