SAD SONGS ( SYMPATHY ) DT

 Hello everyone,

 I here with a DT project, yep, it is time for LITTLE RED WAGON  and this week we have the lovely Kate as our hostess and her them is " Sad Songs "( Sympathy project )..not always easy, I remember a long time ago I had a request for a bunch of over the top loud floral sympathy cards for a very loud happy lady who had died and all the ladies in the rest home, well, nearly all, wanted them, oh my, but this one is subtle..and not nearly as bright as it shows..

I just water coloured, or blobbed some distress ink and water 

onto a sheet of card stock, and let it do whatever it wanted to do.

Die cut a sympathy sentiment.

pattered with water to get those blotches..

added some pearls in matt gold 

top and bottom..

stamped a verse inside

and done..

So do come and join us HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..

VINTAGE LADIES

 Hello everyone,

Back with a couple more Christmas projects, well, cards actually,and using up more of my stash and gorgeous papers..

the gorgeous papers is not this stuff, 

although they came out pretty well, it is gold stripe wrapping paper.

I cut and glued and it onto cardstock and it bubbled and did crazy things

So, I embossed with paste and stencil and that, my friends was that, I won.

they came out really good

so I made four of them.

This tartan paper was a perfect match for this beautiful vintage lady's dress..

it was in my free papers folder..

I just stretched it a big as it would go and printed it out 12 times so I had heaps.

Kept it subtle though on this one and added it by cutting with oval die cutting behind the lady..

flowers snowed up a little bit.

embossing poking out the top corner and some matt gold flat back [earls.

I cut a tartan bow and some pine leaves.

and number one done..

then the idea of using more of that tartan, 

I layered some poinsettias with it..

die cutting continuing, 25 and circles, inking, and leaves for ephemera

Without all the flowers and bow

and with the bow and frills..

There they are together, love this lady and very happy with the outcome of these cards.

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..

GREEN MOON BOO BOO..

 Hello everyone,

Well, the Twilight Fair was a fabulous success, sold quite a bit of stuff so I'm happy, my stall is still out there as my son and DIL said its getting close to Christmas, leave them here and they will see what they can do..so that saved me some effort and time cleaning and packing up..

I have another set or two of cards, with a green moon boo boo, but think I got away with it.. and a postbox..

The post box was easy to put together but cutting postage hole was another story..

and I made it look pretty bad, then I found some blades which I didn't know I had, and life could have been so much better..

I die cut these cute little letters, drew on some squiggly lines 

and coloured the postage stamps..

Then my postage stamp was inked up and I stamped them..

Glued them inside the hole and covered up my mess..

and made another one with a Christmas sack, little birdie, snow banked up, 

and just an fun Christmas winter card..

then came the green moon..

The more I added the worse it became, this was

 the better of the two, for sure..

this one went all wrinkly with too much water..

But I carried on and added some gold stars and it is not so bad in real life..

One more  post box and this time with a black top

and trims, like them much better too..

So there you go, a few more done and I think, if I'm correct, sold last night..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you again tomorrow..

CHRISTMAS DEER..

 Hello everyone,

I missed a day, I lost Friday and forgot to put up a Christmas post, too hot to think and went all lazy and drowsy, but, back today, Saturday morning, the twilight fair tonight and I'm excited..

So this card was one of my favourites as I loved this Deer

and postage stamp die, the train fit in there perfectly..

used up more poinsettias, am I glad I had the die cutting day.

and a sentiment day, still have plenty left..

the ribbon from my stash berries too, and die cut the 

branches.

there's my sweet Deer..

A pom pom trim and small wooden snowflakes, 

must get some more of those, so handy,

and done..after a fierce splattering with white ink..

Thank you so much for stopping by, I still

have more to share, so I will see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx

TO FAT FOR POSTING..

 Hello everyone,

Back with another Christmas card and yes, it is too fat for the post, well, it will go through but unfortunately it will be too expensive, I've done my research..

This time I'm going with a tri fold using up scraps of

 music papers, cards stock and papers and many die cuts all layered up....

I love to ink the edges and, I will say, when I remember, as I do not always.

the mats and papers here were die cut with a kinky edge die..

two little strips of lace, one shorted than the other but can make it work..

I die cut these candles, then added glossy white Nuvo Crystal drops,

 love this one and always have extra bottles in my stash..

I heat embossed in gold this lovely sentiment..

added a 25 onto a scrap of music paper, pom pom trims,

 lots of candle holders die cut  and layered and inked..

and of course the bulk is the poinsettias

and silver charm snowflake.

So there you go, have plenty more in the works, so I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you so much for stopping by..
