Well, I have some wonderful news.

Yesterday I received an email from

Tammy Tutterow. telling me I won

a prize over at the Sizzix Blog

for my picture with my vagabond.

No idea what the prize is, but I just love

surprises. Of course I already got the

Gauge Keys and the lables, but I will keep you

up to date on my prize.

Do take another peek at the

Sizzix Blog,

 for they have great project

Fashion cards

 

Today I share some fashion cards with you that I made

with images of Create with TLC.

The sewing spools are by Marks Finest.

The way the spools are organized, is a technique

by the Technique Junkies called 

cascading images and you can find it in the 

April/May 2012 Newsletter.

The card is stamped and printed on kraft paper.

The images are colored with pencil.

 

Some stapled ribbons, sticky pearls 

and sewn on buttons finsh the decoration of the card.

De background is a piece of left over scrap paper.

The digital set from Create with TLC has two images.
You can see the set here. It is called Fashionista Girly Girl.

 And I just could not resist making another card with

the second image. For this card I used some real material,

that was sewn to the paper with my sewing machine.

 I cut out the skirts of the images and this

way you see through to the material and

looks like the skirts are made out of this material.

 

The images are colored with pencil and I added some buttons, 

pearl brads and flower ribbon from Tim Holtz ideaology range.

as well as a cut out body wioth a sizzix die. 

This is colored with walnut stain and

sprayed with copper perfect pearl mist.

Have a creative day!

Create with TLC May Blog Hop

 Hello!

Here is another  

Create with TLC Blog Hop

and by now, you must know, that means

a lot of FREEBIES!

There are 7 blogs to visit and each

blog has a different image for you.

You have arrived here from the Create with TLC Blog

and I have a lovley SMILE FREEBIE for you.

Just click on the image and save it

with a right mouse click to your computer.

This card is to inspire you and as always there is a 

technique tutorial for you.

I colored the front of the card with copic markers

and punched the heart border with a Martha Steward punch.

The flowers are cut again out of another print of the

image and added on top with double sided foam tape.

On top of the flowers I added glossy accent 

and a gemstone in the heart of the flower.

 When you open the card, there are many more

flowers. Seven to be exact! and this is easy and 

fun to make. I even made these flowers one year

with the children in my class. There is a wonderful tutorial

with video for you HERE.

used this lovely digital set called

"Old Fashioned Mother" also by CTlc.

New Distress colors

 Yes, the new Ranger Distress colors arrived

and of course I could not resist playing.

The colors are beautiful and I loved making the background.

I used my craftsheet to make the background.

Some color pressed to the craftsheet,

spraying a little water and lifting the

color with the tag and drying it with a heat gun.

On top you see the birdcage

(colored with distress peeled paint stain

and sprayed with copper perfect

pearl mist). Flowers and bird are

stamps by Michael Strong.

Have a creative day!
