Your inner Rock Chick

Hello there, well I have been busy playing with my spectrum noir marker pens and decided to use the image I've been colouring in for the latest Make it crafty DT call, I absolutely adore this company and Zoe (the owner) is so super talented and she draws these hip and trendy characters. I would love to be MIC girl as this would be dream come true (wish me luck guys!!) I knew I had to up my game for this DT call as the current team is amazingly talented and come up with such original designs.

First of all create a card blank from 29.4 x 9.7cm Portofino white card folded at the top, using Serif Craft Artist firstly create heart and used the Tres Joyful digi stamp and cropped the image to fit the heart shape.

Saved that image and open the Silhouette cameo software and trace the outer section of the heart then draw a rectangle around it to fit this card and cut wave effect across the bottom half of the card.

Then I used the print and cut system on SC and printed it out and cut it on SC, time for the colouring (my favourite bit) always willing to practice my colouring.

Once the colouring is finish, cut stripe of the zentangle backing paper and adhere with double sided tape. Then adhered wave matt using double sided foam tape, cut birthday on SC three times and glued them together and adhered this with Kuretake zig fine glue pen. Stamped happy with W&W stamps on portofino white card and cut rectangle and adhere this with double sided foam stamp above the birthday. Added some rock chick inspire white dots with white pen on the birthday cut out. Added with three adhesive gems that was coloured with SN true black marker pens, to finish I used uni posca pen to add highlights to the hair.

This card was inspired by finding your inner rock chick, I do love U2 and thought why not bring that into my cardmaking. Tres Joyful suits the Rock Chick style so well.

Cars for the boys

Hello there, Hope you are having relaxing weekend? Well I have not posted for while as I had some technical problems and within that I have been a little stressed out and sure enough my anxiety as come back with vengeance, so thats why I have been slightly quiet but I'm hoping to get back to normal now on.

I thought you might like to see this card I created especially for boy who is almost teenager but not quite there yet, that awkward age I suppose? Men's and boys cards can be difficult to get right but luckily I have the perfect CD rom that was purchased some years ago, but it came in handy for sure. 

The CD rom in question is the My Craft Studio CD rom called Men-y happy returns and was available through their papercraft library. I'm so glad that it's in my crafty stash as its helped me so much over the years. 

29cm x 9.5cm folded in half at the top

Totally loving the stitched detail and fits perfectly for boy's card, the stitched effect was created using my beloved Silhouette Cameo.
