Ok, today I didn’t quite get the result I was looking for. I know my idea could look so much better. I managed to create a flower using the Diamond from the Ebony & Ivory Stamp Set (7) to be the petals. I then used another from the set to create the grass, & the stem. I used the Jewel Tones Pearlesence Chalks to shade a nice shimmer over the stem & around the flower. I added a Rub-on Bling for the centre of the flower. Finished with a little Ice Stickles & “It’s Your Birthday” from the Mini Messages Endearments Set & “Enjoy” from (ATC) Artist Trading Card Set.

Cheers, Tina

Todays card was very simple. A piece of 8 x 8 white card folded in half. I stamped 3 Ebony & Ivory stamps with Charcoal Fluid Chalk onto pink card & trimmed to size. Added 3 butterflies from the Elegant Inspirations Bling Rub-ons & adhered to white card. I watermarked with the watermark ink pad down either side of the white card with another stamp from the Ebony & Ivory Stamp Set (7). Finished by stamping Warm Wishes from the Mini Messages Endearments onto white card, then magic mounted onto black card. I also distressed with the charcoal around the pink cardstock.

Cheers, Tina

This week Blog War Theme is Ebony & Ivory. This includes both the Ebony & Ivory Scrapbook Paper range & the Ebony & Ivory Stamp set (7).

I had fun last night creating all 5 creations for the week. Here are the first 2 below.

I just love the 2 of the new products in the March 09 New Product Flier, Mini Messages Endearments & Elegant Inspirations Bling Rub-ons. I have used them on my cards this week.

I am very fond of my Gold Paint Dabber at the moment. I seem to be using it all the time. Here I have stamped 2 stamps from the Ebony & Ivory Set onto a 6 x 12″ piece of Black/Cream Circle SB Paper, I have folded it to create a card. One design I stamped with the Gold Paint Dabber & the other with Frost White Color Box Ink Pad. I stamped the 3rd with Charcoal Fluid Chalk onto a piece of Cordtone Cream from the Neutrals Card Pack. I cut out Mother & Thank you from the Definitions/Spots SB Paper, & added a rub-on & the bling.

Cheers, Tina

Below is my version of my April (2H) Workshop which I taught on Friday night.

Old Bear 12 x 12 Layout created by Rebecca Marsh.

I made some changes as I don’t have the Old Bear stamp, so I used Becky Bear instead. Also my photo’s were in portrait instead of landscape, so I placed them over the pinecone cardstock, instead of it bordering the photo’s. I love these pages, you can’t see it in the photo, but the Pearlescent Jewel Tones Chalks give my pages the most beautiful shimmer.

Kaszazz have 5 great Chalking Sets, you can find them on page 62 of the Kaszazz Catalogue & Project Book, or page 64  following the Catalogue link to the right of screen.

Cheers, Tina

FAR OUT!!! where has that week gone. Hope you all had a terrific Easter. I haven’t had a chance to do any of the Blog War this week, the topic is 3D. Check out the other participants blogs, & see what they have been up to. With the kids on school holiday’s, & a beautiful friend of mine passing away on Easter Monday, my routine is so out of whack!! We had a fabulous time away camping, and the weather was perfect. Check out the view from out campsite.

I now have some photo’s perfect for our Tree Friends Stamp, which was one of our new stamps in the Jan 09 New Product Flier. The kids spent alot of time up in the trees around camp. The photo is of my youngest son Tyler (10), I call him my little “Crikey”.

Cheers, Tina
