Decades - 40's Fashion all in Pinks

Well, and a little Purple! lol

Hello there,

One of the great things about being on the Spectrum Noir Education Design Team (and there are many many many great things about being on the team!) is that we take time once per month to go back over our team mates tutorials and pick one to follow.  It's such an awesome thing to do, I love it, it really gives me a chance to breath, follow the advice and I always learn something about my own style and how I approach colour :D

This month I decided to follow an awesome tutorial by my colleague, the uber colourist Laine Webb which you can find on the Spectrum Noir Blog HERE and here's mine using Laine's colours and tutorial:

Phew...I'm not a pink kinda person, so this was a real challenge :D
Here's what I used:

Are You Ready....Launching today....

Hello again,

Launch day is here!

Tune into Create and Craft today, Tomorrow and Wednesday to see the brand new die's by Crafters Companion

Only Words dies are just a crafty must have and I already shared one sneak peek...see the post HERE if you missed it...but here is another of die's in action.

These new Edge'ables are so easy to use and the great thing is that you don't have to use them in the card base, you can easily use up some of your scraps and off-cuts as I have done in the card above.
I have used coordinations card left overs and run some of them through the Embossalicious Dotty Embossing Folder

I have used white card to die cut the On Your Anniversary Edge'able die and then simply matted it onto more off-cuts!

I have used the free die with issue 6 of Crafters Inspiration magazine by Crafters Companion to cut the flower and then added Frantage, pink Perfect Pearls and a few Candy bits...done :D

Here's some more pics:

I really hope you can tune into the show's...

See the show guide HERE

I have more samples on the shows, but for now I'll say thank you so much for popping by and I really really do appreciate every comment and view :D xxx

Happy Crafting :D

'Dreaming'...From the pen of the fabulous Slinky Tart

Hello Again,

It's another Friday DT inspiration from me today showcasing the amazing art of Tamara van Wijk aka Slinky Tart

Looking back over my last few weeks of blogging I seem to have been in a very eclectic mood lately!  I really have swung around just about every medium in the last few weeks!  At least you can't say I'm stuck in a rut lol!

Today, I've gone all girly again, because this image just cried out for a garden to dream in!

Here is...Dreaming by Slinky Tart

Lots of layers as she's looking over, wandering

I didn't have many scraps this time, so I used coordinating cardstock as the insert, just adding a touch of the matching paper as a banner at the top.

Here's the how's and what's:
I have coloured Dreaming with copics and then die cut her and the mats with My Favourite Things Pierced Circle Stax die's (yes, again lol but they're my fav!).
All the mat's (not the image) where then embossed using an embossing folder from Crafter's Companion magazine issue 6 (its packed full).  The sentiment stamp is also from the magazine freebies x
The gorgeous papers are all from Time For Tea Botanicals by Graphic 45 and you can get this and all of my lace and embellies from That Craft Place
I have on this one made all my own flowers...and I love the fan flowers, first time I have done them and I think they look awesome :D

Here's the close ups:

Thank you so much for stopping by, and if you like what you see, it would be great if you clicked to follow my little blog so I can share with you next time too :D

Here are the important links for you to check out:
Slinky Tart Blog to see the rest of the gorgeous DT's inspiration makes :D
Slinky Tart Shop to check out the awesome Slinky's on offer :D
Slinky Tart FB group to share your Slinky Tart makes and see what everyone else have been working with...its a great place to get more inspiration, especially if your mojo has gone for a little holiday! lol

Happy Crafting :D
